Inaugurated in the spring of 2025, Capella Taipei has emerged as the city’s most prestigious “Modern Mansion”—a sanctuary of quiet luxury tailored for the global elite and their most cherished companions. Envisioned by the legendary André Fu, this architectural masterpiece serves as a sophisticated retreat that honors the cultural tapestry of the Songshan District while embracing a transcendent, forward-thinking aesthetic.
The design philosophy is an exquisite study in residential intimacy, centered around a dramatic, hand-sculpted spiral staircase that serves as the estate’s heartbeat. Situated mere moments from the capital’s pulse, yet sequestered within an atmosphere of profound calm, the hotel is a celebration of Taiwanese craftsmanship and narrative-driven hospitality.
This commitment to aesthetic perfection and bespoke service lead by the property’s General Manager was swiftly honored with Savour BlackBookAsia’s Ultra Luxury Hotel (Taiwan) award, while its General Manager, Dennis Laubenstein, has been named General Manager of the Year 2026 (Taiwan), affirming its status as the definitive choice for guests seeking a home that bridges the grace of the past with the vibrancy of the future.
Accommodation
The residential experience finds its pinnacle in the Premier Skyline Room, a sprawling 60-square-meter sanctuary designed with the meticulous needs of the intergenerational traveller in mind. These elegant chambers feature plush king-size beds with premium Sealy mattress and a private, sun-drenched balcony offering a front-row seat to the iconic silhouette of Taipei 101. The interiors are a masterclass in artisanal warmth, seamlessly integrating intuitive AI technology with hand-selected materials.
For families and friends travelling together, the fluidity of the space provides both a majestic setting for communal moments and the sequestered privacy required for restoration. From a daily-replenished complimentary minibar to the twice-daily housekeeping and meticulous evening turndown, every nuance of the stay is polished to an impeccable standard of residential luxury. Need anything else, enjoy the exclusive stewardship of your Capella Culturists — always just a call or message away.
Dining
Gastronomy at Capella Taipei is a theatrical odyssey, beginning with a sunrise ritual at Plume, where champagne and fresh oysters are served tableside with effortless grace. The morning menu is headlined by a sophisticated Braised Beef Noodles, accompanied by traditional condiments, a silken soft oil egg, and a signature homemade chili sauce. For a lighter mid-day repast, the Milkfish Soup offers a delicate composition of fish broth, ginger, and white sesame oil, enriched with prawns and squid.
The journey extends to The Glass House, an avant-garde three-level sanctuary of mixology and refined bites. Here, Tilt presents freshly shucked seasonal oysters and a decadent A5 Wagyu Sando, while Playback serves a sublime Patagonian Toothfish with Miso and Tsukemono, perfectly paired with the “Sake Tears Men & Women” cocktail—a potent elixir of Ki No Bi Gin and Daiginjo Sake. At Cooper, highly recommended is the Baked Alaksa, made with chocolate and strawberry ice-cream and flambé to perfection.
For a grand finale, Ember 28 invites diners to partake in the Winter Menu’s Japanese A4 Wagyu Striploin, masterfully complemented by a Discovery Wine Pairing curated by the estate’s sommelier.
