On the Grid : amba Taipei Songshan

"Sitting next to Songshan railway and metro station, embracing stunning views of Keelung River and Taipei 101, amba Taipei Songshan hotel effortlessly shows its distinctive modern, quirky and chic style from the lobby, lounge area, corridors and of course the hotel room. Not just focusing on contemporary design, amba also values the importance of supporting local brands and artists. The giant eco-bamboo lamps scattered on the ceilings throughout the hotel were handcrafted by Taiwanese artists. Other local touches include all-natural ginger bath amenities and premium Taiwanese teas. The spacious guestroom is designed for today’s travelers, featuring superfast WiFi with an individual access point, wireless Blue-tooth® speaker and at least eight universal sockets. Other hotel services includes free use of a 24-hour self-service laundry room and a 24-hour gym. The hotel also offers free shuttle service to Taipei 101 eight times a day, allowing visitors to explore the nearby Xinyi neighborhood easily." - Lin Yuhuan
