Interior design Philippe Starck

An atmosphere of love and joy is born from a unique mix of contemporary styles, local art, and aboriginal crafts.

Swirling staircases, two-story bookshelves, fireplaces with stacked logs, and eclectic collections of retro and Philippe Starck-designed pieces are incorporated throughout. Starck’s unique style is stamped all over the property, especially in the rooms where a refreshing backdrop of white has pops of mustard yellow, highlighted by abundant natural light reflected by a large, rose-tinted mirror.

Architecture The pearl of Taipei

A tribute to the hotelier’s love, an oversized strand of pearls adorn the façade of the hotel.

The property resides in a repurposed office building, which took eight months to transform into a hotel. The Beijing-born entrepreneur, Wang Xiaofei explains his vision for the hotel: “My wife is from Taipei, so I wanted to create a hotel that stood out from others in the city. Thus, the wood and concrete. We also collaborated with local artists. The carpets are in local tribal colors.”
