IHG's InterContinental Taipei opens on October 12, 2026, right next to Taipei Dome in the Xinyi District. It has 347 rooms, with standard rooms starting at 38 square meters and suites starting at 76 square meters with a kitchen. It's the fourth InterContinental in Taiwan and the first in urban Taipei. Vancouver has direct flights to Taipei, so getting there isn't much of a hassle.

The opening
The hotel was developed by IHG together with Farglory Group, who previously worked together on InterContinental Kaohsiung; this is their second project. The opening coincides with the InterContinental brand's 80th anniversary. The design theme is "In Taipei, For Taipei," drawing on local architecture and the city's memory, from the lobby installation to the musical elements in the event spaces.
Rooms
Classic Rooms start at about 38 square meters. Some look out on Taipei 101, and others face Taipei Dome. The residential-style suites start at about 76 square meters and have a full kitchen, dining area and in-room laundry, which makes a big difference for families with kids or longer stays.
Dining and facilities
The hotel has seven dining concepts in total: NTD Eatery, Akira Back, Dosa, Rough Cuts, Yi Social, Thea Lounge and Simple Sips. Akira Back and Dosa are run by chef Akira Back. Facilities include an indoor pool, a fitness center, a ballroom and other event spaces, plus the Club InterContinental executive lounge.

Final thoughts
Until now, Taiwan's InterContinentals have been in Kaohsiung, Taichung and on the coast of New Taipei, with none in urban Taipei. This one is in the Xinyi District, close to both Taipei 101 and Taipei Dome, so it's worth adding to your shortlist if you're headed to Taipei.
