About Shangri-La's Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, Taipei
Shangri-La's Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, Taipei is a premium hotel option in Taipei with recognition from La Liste Top Hotels (2026), where it is listed at 91 points, and Forbes Recommended (2026). Consider that recognition as the main grounded reason to consider it, rather than relying on claims about specific facilities, room categories, dining formats, or neighborhood details.
The safest way to frame the decision is simple: choose Shangri-La's Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, Taipei if you want a Taipei hotel with confirmed third-party recognition. If your decision depends on a specific room type, on-site facility, dining plan, or service detail, confirm that directly with the hotel before booking.
Value depends on the exact booking, not assumed room details
Room-category value varies, so do not assume that any specific category is automatically the right move. For a special occasion, a premium booking may still make sense if the rate, space, and cancellation terms work for your plans, but those details should be checked directly before committing.
For travelers comparing other Taipei hotel options, Kimpton Da An Taipei, Swiio Hotel Daan, Éclat Hotel Taipei, Madison Taipei, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, and EPISODE Daan Taipei - JDV by Hyatt are natural points of comparison. Shangri-La's Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, Taipei has confirmed La Liste and Forbes listings; the others may appeal depending on rate, style, and availability.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Shangri‑La’s Far Eastern Plaza declares itself by scale — it’s the tallest hotel in Taipei and leans into verticality and volume rather than boutique anonymity. A recent $50 million renovation reorients the interior around Song Dynasty references and commissioned artworks, so public spaces feel curated and deliberate. The lobby opens with Shen Cheen’s silk scroll installation suspended above check‑in, a striking cultural moment that sets the tone for the rest of the property. The result is a landmark luxury hotel that balances monumental presence with historically minded decorative restraint.
Best For
This is a straightforward pick for travelers who value scale, polish, and cultural touches: business travelers who need an authoritative, full‑service flagship; design‑minded visitors drawn to the hotel’s art and Song Dynasty references; and couples or families seeking a refined base in Da’an. The building’s size and recent renovation make it suited to guests who prefer the amenities and consistency of a major international hotel while still wanting locally informed moments of craftsmanship and commissioned artwork.

Hotel context
How it compares in Da'an
Choose Shangri-La's Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, Taipei over Éclat Hotel Taipei if the stay needs full-service confidence and a more formal hotel feel. Éclat is the better cross-shop for travelers who want a smaller, art-led atmosphere, but for celebrations or senior business travel, the Shangri-La choice is easier to defend.
Madison Taipei, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel is the calmer alternative for guests who want a less ceremonial stay in the same broad area. Swiio Hotel Daan and EPISODE Daan Taipei - JDV by Hyatt are more useful if the priority is a tighter, more casual base rather than a special-occasion hotel.
Kimpton Da An Taipei is the peer to check if style and neighborhood energy matter more than established luxury-hotel infrastructure. For the lowest-risk booking around an occasion, stay with the Shangri-La; for a lighter, design-forward trip, Kimpton or Swiio may be the smarter match.
