Capella’s redebut in Taiwan arrives with a bang, although its architecture makes the grand announcement with as much subtlety as it can. Its façade of polished glass and steel beams blends in with the neighbouring office buildings, but much like the person you might be spending your honeymoon with here, most (if not all) of its character can be found inside. Helmed by André Fu, its Modern Mansion comes to life through clean, elegant lines that are softened with buoyant curvatures, with a soothing earthy palette to match the mid-century modern influence and Neo-Deco underpinnings.
Romantic escapades here may not come with the typical tropical scenery, but it’s a feast for cultural explorers. Capella Culturists are more than ready to whisk couples away on the signature Capella Curates experience, delving into local tea-making practices or tracing the region’s rich history. But the hotel itself still proffers the amorous creature comforts: dinner dates are more than welcome at the three distinguished dining venues, the lunar-inspired spa is a delight for the weary, and the 86 rooms are more than comfortable cocoons of comfort, all the makings of a special getaway.
