IHG Hotels & Resorts, British multinational hospitality company based in Windsor, Berkshire, England, UK, has signed an agreement to open its first HUALUXE hotel in Taiwan, located in Taipei, the capital and a special municipality of Taiwan, located in Northern Taiwan between the Yangming and Central mountains, approximately 25 kilometres southwest of the northern port city of Keelung.
Taipei is a vibrant metropolis that seamlessly blends modern, high - tech infrastructure with rich traditional Chinese and Japanese - influenced culture, famous for its contemporary buildings, busy shopping streets, world - class street food, stunning mountain - to - city accessibility and serving as the dynamic political and economic heart of Taiwan.
The agreement for the opening of HUALUXE Taipei was signed with Fullon Hotels & Resorts, a company headquartered in New Taipei City that operates a chain of hotels and resorts across Taiwan with accommodations range from urban hotels to beachfront resorts with unique features like ocean hotel springs.
Marking the brand’s debut in the country, the hotel is expected to open this year and its opening is part of IHG Hotels & Resorts strategic plan to expand its presence in East Asia.
The property will be located in Taipei’s Dalongdong area, a historic neighbourhood in northern Taipei’s Datong District, known for its rich cultural heritage, ancient temples and traditional streets, next to the busy Yuanshan MRT Station and near relevant cultural landmarks such as the famous Dalongdong Bacan Temple, Taipei Confucious Temple and Dadaocheng, attractions situated in a vibrant urban environment that provides a fascinating glimpse into authentic Taiwanese life and historical architecture, and offering an easy access to various parts of the city.
HUALUXE Taipei will feature 199 rooms and is expected to incorporate design features, service styles and social spaces reflecting local traditions and the brand’s focus on hosting, dining, and tea culture.
The hotel joins the HUALUXE brand launched in 2012 that has 27 open hotels and 20 in the pipeline globally as for the first quarter of 2026. The addition of HUALUXE Taipei is part of the brand’s continued expansion in new markets.
HUALUXE Hotels & Resorts is an international premium hotel brand tailored specifically for Chinese consumers. It centres around four guiding principles: etiquette, status recognition, rejuvenation in nature, and facilitating spaces for business and social interactions.
The brand’s hallmark features are built around the art of Chinese hospitality, focusing on “eat” and “meet”.
The signing builds on the partners’s previous collaboration on voco Chiayi and reflects IHG Hotels & Resorts ongoing expansion in Taiwan. Since entering the market with Holiday Inn Express Taoyuan in 2008, IHG Hotels & Resorts has grown up to 17 open hotels across eight brands in Taiwan, spanning Luxury & Lifestyle, Premium, and Essential categories.
