Our Inspector's Highlights
- With almost 600 pieces of art distributed throughout the property, art lovers will find much to admire at Humble House Taipei.
- Upon entering the Taipei hotel, you’ll be greeted by new media pieces by Chinese contemporary artist Yang Yongliang, depicting the seemingly conflicting elements of nature and cityscape in harmony by combining video, photography and painting.
- Head to the luxury hotel’s lush sixth-floor garden for a unique, tranquil inner-city experience (order a cocktail at the adjacent Terrace lounge while you’re at it).
- On the seventh floor, you’ll find an outdoor swimming pool with stellar skyline views, a large wooden deck and some inviting lounge chairs.
- A lovely spa offers Japanese-style hospitality and treatments by Aromatherapy Associates.
Things to Know
- You’ll notice the art as soon as you enter the lobby, where electroluminescent lights from Paul Cocksedge’s Bourrasque dangle from the ceiling.
- Book early to get the most popular views facing Taipei 101, the most famous structure in the city — those rooms sell out three months in advance on New Year’s Eve for prime fireworks viewing.
- Don’t expect over-the-top décor here — rooms are plush but minimal, with gray neutral tones and dark woods.

The Restaurants
