When it comes to first impressions, Grand Mayfull Hotel Taipei spares no expense. Dual domes crown the two-towered hotel, hovering over downtown Taipei. A regal, two-story porte-cochère proudly displays the luxury retreat’s moniker, while an equally tall pair of glass doors open on demand to welcome you into the show-stopping heart of the property. The expansive marble lobby is like something out of a dramatic period piece with its resplendent 600-bulb chandelier, twin columns and mirrored marble staircases twisting their way up to the second-floor mezzanine — impressive doesn’t even begin to describe it.
But it’s not all just for show at Grand Mayfull Hotel Taipei. The 146-room jewel knows that luxury is in the details, like the Hermes bath amenities, discreet shoe-polishing service and hand-painted artworks found throughout the property.
