Sheraton Grand Taipei Hotel｜A Trusted Classic in Taipei

📍Sheraton Grand Taipei Hotel (台北喜来登大飯店) No. 12, Section 1, Zhongxiao E Rd, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, Taiwan 100 【Reliable Choice from the Marriott Group】 I chose this hotel because, unlike my usual solo trips, I was traveling with my mother who was celebrating her 60th birthday. She wanted a place with a certain level of service, facilities, and brand recognition for peace of mind, so this was our pick. 😋 There are several Marriott properties in Taipei, but we opted for the Sheraton due to its long-standing reputation. Highlights: ⭐︎ Check-in was available in Japanese ⭐︎ Twin beds could be selected in advance (double beds are often the default overseas) ⭐︎ About a 10-minute walk from Taipei Main Station ⭐︎ The nearest station, Shandao Temple Station, is just steps away from the exit ⭐︎ Clean shower and bathroom facilities ⭐︎ Toilets equipped with bidets ⚠️ Note: In recent years, due to sustainability efforts, hotels in Taipei have completely eliminated amenities like toothbrushes. Sheraton was no exception, so we had to purchase a toothbrush set at a nearby convenience store. 🥲 If you’re a Marriott Bonvoy Platinum member, you might enjoy perks like complimentary breakfast, but as a Gold member, I only had access to late check-out. With a return flight around 4 PM, being able to stay at the hotel until 2 PM was very convenient. 🥰 The hotel’s restaurants are quite renowned, with lines forming even before they open. If you want to enjoy authentic Taiwanese or Chinese cuisine beyond street food, this could be a great option. While we didn’t opt for breakfast at the hotel, Taiwan’s morning street food scene is vibrant. The famous Fu Hang Soy Milk shop was just a 10-minute walk away, so we lined up early in the morning. Since the shop was crowded and not very relaxing, we brought the food back to the hotel to eat. The staff kindly lent us spoons and other utensils. This led to a pattern of taking out street food and enjoying it in the comfort of our room. The hotel isn’t overly luxurious, but it offers a cozy and reassuring atmosphere. My mother was very satisfied. While it might feel a bit pricey for solo travelers and isn’t the trendiest option, it’s perfect for family trips. 🧑🧑🧒🧒
