Taipei, Taiwan · Capella · High Luxury
Opened April 2025 in Taipei's Da'an District, Capella Taipei was conceived by Hong Kong architect André Fu as a 'modern mansion' rooted in the city's tree-lined boulevards. Its interiors feature hand-painted silk wall panels co-created with British artisan house De Gournay, a 38-metre white bougainvillea hedge framing the 14th-floor rooftop pool, and a ryokan-inspired kaiseki restaurant, all within 86 rooms.

About Capella Taipei
- The hand-painted silk wall panels were created in collaboration with De Gournay, the London atelier known for hand-painted wallcoverings used in royal residences and museum collections.
- At 86 rooms, Capella Taipei is one of the smallest hotels in the brand's portfolio — the same DNA as Capella Singapore (112 rooms) but scaled even tighter, reinforcing a deliberately mansion-like intimacy in a major capital.
- André Fu, the hotel's architect and interior designer, conceived the property around the experience of 'flâneuring' Taipei's century-old camphor-tree boulevards — an unusual urbanism-first brief for a luxury hotel.
- The rooftop pool terrace is framed by a 38-metre hedge of white bougainvillea, a plant brought to Europe from South America in the 18th century and now common in Taiwan's subtropical climate.
- Entry-level rooms start at 517 sq ft (48 m²).
History
Opened in April 2025 in Taipei's Songshan district. Conceived by André Fu as a 'modern mansion,' inspired by flâneuring Taipei's century-old tree-lined boulevards. Interiors feature hand-painted silk wall panels co-created with British artisan De Gournay, and a rooftop pool terrace framed by a 38-metre white bougainvillea hedge.
The setting
Capella Taipei rises along Section 2 of Dunhua South Road in Da'an District, where tree-lined medians shade a corridor of premium residential towers and upscale retail, including nearby SOGO department stores and Breeze Center. Da'an commands the highest average apartment prices among all twelve Taipei districts, and the Dunhua corridor's elevated land values mark this block as the island's premier luxury address. Taipei 101 is 19 minutes by transit, the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall 21 minutes, and the vibrant dining scene of the East District — including Michelin-starred restaurants — unfolds at the doorstep. 9 km from Shilin Night Market.
