History
Regent Taipei opened in 1990 as The Regent Taipei after being conceptualized in 1973 and developed through a 1984 partnership between Formosa International Hotels founder S.R. Pan and Tuntex Group’s Y.H. Chen. The hotel was originally managed by Regent International Hotels and later became Grand Formosa Regent for 17 years before reverting to Regent Taipei in 2011. Back under the Regent Taipei name since 2011, the house that opened in 1990 holds 538 rooms. The property is one of Taipei’s best-known luxury hotels and is tied closely to the Regent Hotels & Resorts name.
The setting
Regent Taipei occupies a discreet lane off Section 2 of Zhongshan North Road in a district whose tree-lined boulevard traces back to the Japanese colonial era, when it served as a ceremonial approach flanked by camphor trees and later evolved into Taipei's most culturally layered luxury corridor. The hotel's own Regent Galleria hosts Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Bulgari beneath its roof, while the Zhongshan MRT station ensures immediate city access. Ningxia Night Market lies 17 minutes on foot, and the grid of former Japanese-era merchant streets — now galleries, design studios, and specialty cafes — rewards any guest who wanders a short distance from the lobby. 7 km from Taipei 101 skyscraper. 12 km from National Palace Museum.
