The MGH Mitsui Garden Hotel Taipei Zhongxiao is a notable choice, combining Japanese charm with sleek design and enjoying a convenient location near many of Taipei’s popular attractions.

Conveniently located in Da’an District, just outside Exit 3 of MRT Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station, MGH Mitsui Garden Hotel Taipei Zhongxiao is centrally located in downtown Taipei, making it an ideal base for exploring the city.

While the Mitsui Garden Hotels brand has 36 properties across Japan, the Taipei Zhongxiao branch, opened in August 2020, marks the group’s first international venture.

This hotel caters to both business and leisure travelers, attracting a significant number of international guests, particularly from Japan. Throughout the property, guests will find signage and information in Chinese, Japanese, and English, and the attentive staff is fluent in all three languages. Complimentary parking is available for guests with vehicles from 3pm (earliest check-in) to 12pm (latest check-out) during their stay.

Upon entering, guests are greeted by a sparkling-clean lobby featuring a traditional Japanese sunken seating area.

The walls are adorned with natural ceramic gray rock, adding to the unique ambiance.

On the second floor, guests can relax in a dedicated lounge area, enjoying complimentary tea and coffee. The lounge, which is open daily from 8am to 11pm, offers a pleasant view of lush trees and buildings of the National Taipei University of Technology, located across Zhongxiao East Road.

With 17 floors and nearly 300 guestrooms, the hotel offers a diverse selection of accommodations to cater to every traveler’s needs.

All hotels typically provide “Do Not Disturb” and “Make Up Room” signs. At the MGH Mitsui Garden Hotel, these signs are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, featuring a stylish magnetic design. Notably, the hotel also provides a unique “We Are Safe” sign, a thoughtful feature often seen in Japan. This sign is intended to be displayed after an earthquake, reassuring the hotel staff that guests are safe and do not require assistance, even if the hotel needs to conduct room checks. This thoughtful provision offers added peace of mind for guests.

The most notable amenity at the MGH Mitsui Garden Hotel Taipei Zhongxiao is undoubtedly the top-floor Large Public Bath area.
