Once relatively overlooked compared to other cities in Asia, Taiwan’s capital, Taipei, has in recent years seen a boom of tourists with high earning power.

According to the latest statistics from Deep Market Insights, the luxury market in Taiwan was worth $11.79 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $23.63 billion by 2033. This means that what the industry typically defines as the number of travelers who spend between $10,000 and $24,999 per trip is expected to grow at a CAGR rate of 8.03%.

Several major hotel brands have responded to rising demand by setting their sights on the Asian country. Last April, Capella Hotels & Resorts opened its first Taiwanese property in Taipei, designed by architect André Fu in the style of an office facade at the front and a “modern mansion” on the inside.

The fast-growing Asian luxury hotel chain, as its second foray into the country, is currently also developing a 65-villa resort at Kenting National Park in southern Taiwan, set to open in 2028.

Hilton, Hyatt, and Capella all expand their portfolios to Taiwan

As part of a partnership with the Forte Hotel Group, Hilton will also open its first Signia by Hilton hotel in Asia Pacific in July 2026 — the 344-room hotel in Tainan City is set to open in July 2026 and will cater to business travelers entering the city on Taiwan’s southwestern coast.

The Hyatt Centric East Taipei is also set to be the brand’s first property in the Asia-Pacific region when it opens in 2026. Grand Hyatt and Andaz properties are also in the pipeline for the next few years, even if the opening dates have been pushed back several times.

The latter will share space with Park Hyatt in the new 56-floor Taipei Sky Tower, designed by Italian architect Antonio Citterio for Taipei’s Xinyi District.

The Amnis, part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection, opened in December 2025.

The newest luxury hotel sits on the water around Kaohsiung

On Dec. 22, Marriott’s Luxury Collection also opened its doors at The Amnis in the port city of Kaohsiung. The 147-room property was designed both as a skyscraper and to reflect Taiwan’s relationship with water and nature as an island.

It aims to serve a growing market of travelers who either come to Kaohsiung on business or go beyond Taipei to explore more of the country on return visits.

“Guests may also embark on Whispers of Water, the hotel’s featured weekly Epicurean Moment – a guided journey that explores the interplay of water, sound, and light, inspired by the hotel’s design philosophy,” The Luxury Collection writes of the property.

“Alternatively, guests can experience Seeking Light, Embracing the Sea, a scenic ferry excursion that reveals the harmonious relationship between Kaohsiung’s sea, harbor, and mountain landscapes.”

Additionally, four new Taiwanese hotels were also recently recognized with the Michelin keys that the ranking system introduced for hotels and resorts in October 2025: The Cappella, Kimpton Da An Taipei, and Mandarin Oriental Taipei in Taipei, as well as the Hoshinoya Guguan in Taichung.
