Nevertheless, as the hotel’s design theme is “Nature Electrified”, the guestrooms remain quiet sanctuaries filled with natural materials, lush amenities and modern conveniences. There are eight room types from Spectacular, with its Taipei 101 view, to the extra luxe Extreme WOW Suite. Socialising and cocktail culture are very much part of the package when you check in here, so don’t miss Mojito Monday at Woobar where your Mojito is upgraded from a glass to a pitcher. Instead of the regular, try Apple Saffron flavour.

The sommelier here also offers a rich and varied list with 151 choices. Highlights include Hypnose Merlot Reserve from Logodaj and a unique dessert wine, Melnik 1964. Booking is essential.

There’s lots of choice though, so anyone you bring here is sure to find something they’re happy to eat. There are also private rooms you can request for large groups. Oh, and if you want to recreate the experience at home – they also sell various gift sets.

Go for the elaborately served eggs benedict – you won’t be disappointed.
<br><br><strong>Insider Tip: </strong>Nom Nom is a 10-minute walk from Dongmen Station, but the street can be confusing so make sure you consult a map first.
