We stayed at Silks in Taroko Gorge for two nights in December 2025 and thought it was worth our time, effort, and money despite the trail closures. ||The hotel was clean, comfortable, high end, and had great staff. Yeah, the meals on site are a bit pricey, but overall worth it (I mean, look at what you’re getting in a location that’s a bit remote). There was a wiiiiide range of options at the buffets- certainly enough to hold our interest for more that two nights. ||And having weathered a 5.3 earthquake quite comfortably in our room, I think we can vouch for Silks’ structural integrity 😀. ||The drive in is metered due to road closure/construction, and the hotel will tell you the options for when to drive in. When we went, the cars lined up at the Shakadang Tunnel entrance, just past the Taroko National Park Visitor Center. We thought the drive in and out was gorgeous. The rock faces and marble are quite striking. We were lucky enough to have a mixture of sunlight and clouds. ||The Tabiduo trail behind the hotel seems open (even though one of us wasn’t feeling the “scramble up the rock face using chains” part, so we didn’t do more than a short bit of it).||We were able to fill our time walking up to and visiting Xiangde Temple, walking around Tianxiang, and using the hotel’s great amenities (rooftop pool, hot tubs, indoor pool, and ping pong and billiard tables, sauna, etc.). Patty at the gift shop, and Ben and Judy at the front desk were super and even managed to run down a specific diet soda for us, haha. ||So, will you have an epic hiking trip there? Probably not for several more years. But you can definitely have a relaxing stay and get a feel for the majesty of the place.

We had a wonderful stay at Silks Place Taroko, and I really want to recognize Dorcas Huang at the front desk and her manager Robin Tsai for going far above and beyond.||Because of road construction in Taroko National Park, the roads are only open at certain times each day, and we were very close to missing our train back to Taipei. Dorcas spent a lot of time behind the scenes making sure we had the correct return tickets and that everything was handled properly. When the tickets needed to be exchanged in person, Robin actually went down to the train station himself to help sort it out. Since the exchange couldn’t be completed without my credit card, he used his own money to help us secure the tickets right away. Their level of care truly made all the difference.||They handled all the heavy lifting behind the scenes and turned what could have been a stressful situation for us into something that felt easy.||The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful, tucked into the mountains and incredibly peaceful and serene. It feels luxurious but still warm and welcoming. We only stayed one night and really wish we could have stayed longer. I even took one of their yoga classes, which was such a nice bonus and perfect for the setting.||It’s definitely a splurge, but absolutely worth it for the experience, the service, and the setting. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.||Thank you again to Dorcas and Robin for truly exceptional service.

Love coming back to Silks Place Taroko, it truly feels like home.|Beautiful mountain views, relaxing activities, and the kindest people.|Such a great place to slow down and just enjoy the moment.|Can’t wait to come back again.

One of the best hotel experiences I’ve had in my life. There isn’t enough room here to write about all that is amazing about this hotel and its staff but I’ll try. |The hotel is located in a beautiful gorge with Mountain View’s all around as well as views of the temple next door. At night, the rooftop is illuminated and the view looks other worldly. The views are enough to make you visit. But the staff doesn’t take that for granted and they go above and beyond. Their friendly faces are everywhere you turn. They go above and beyond to assure that your stay is perfect. |The spa was amazing! My massage was perfect and it ended with tea, a snack and a keepsake. |We had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant and there were plenty of choices. The happy hour had free wine and snacks and was a pleasant experience. |We were sad to leave and wouldn’t hesitate going back. Highly recommended.

We spent here one night. I had booked two, but we decided to leave after one, because there were almost not any activities left to do after the earthquake and typhoon April last year. I hope they will be able to get the park in the state from before the catastrophic events of last year. |There are only certain times periods to enter the park. You then drive through the park to the hotel. The drive to and from the hotel is absolutely stunning. The scenery is mind blowing. It should be so beautiful to see it when the park is fully open again. |The hotel is beautiful and everything is very well arranged. The staff is so friendly. Everyone from the gentlemen welcoming you st the door, checking in, the restaurant and do on. Everyone is treating you do friendly and nice. |Gym is adequate. Room is very nice. Climate inside the room was a bit too cold for me. But luckily you can try to change that. |Buffets are enormous. Food is great quality. We are vegetarian and they had great options for us. |Highly recommended!!.

This is the best hotel experience that I have experienced. Easy check in procedure, friendly and helpful staff. You get to choose the scent for the room - essence oil. Walking in, you will hear the chipping of birds. ||They provided us with complimentary facial mask and night desserts. They also provide snacks like popcorn and flow free alcohol during tea break hours. ||You get to choose the program like bath salt workshop and yoga classes.. ||The indoor swimming pool, heated pools are great. Not to mention my favourite ginger red date tea is always available.

We stayed in Silks Palace Toroko last year in December and it was such a beautiful, relaxing and luxury end to our two week trip in Taiwan. The staff were so friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make our stay memorable. Robin, the Concierge helped us organise a private taxi from Hulien all the way to the hotel and our taxi driver gave us a tour on the way into Toroko. She was so friendly and started our trip into Toroko on the best note.|| We stayed at Silks for one night and had the most amazing spa experience and massage with Neeko. The food at Dinner that night was absolutely beautiful in taste and design. The beds were so comfortable and rooms absolute luxury.|| We spent the next night elsewhere and had an awful experience so we booked in at Silks again for our last night in Toroko. Robin the Concierge who we had been liasing with the whole trip and who had already gone above and beyond for us, organised a private taxi free of charge to come and pick us up from the other hotel drop us off to catch up with another awesome tour the hotel organised through the gorge led by Vita and dropped our bags at the hotel. The tour with Vita was fabulous, she was so friendly and went out of her way to make it a fun experience take us back to our the hotel.||Our last night in the hotel we had another amazing massage then dinner. our holiday was topped off with an upgraded room courtesy of Robin which included exclusive access to their executive room.|||Thank you to Silks at Taroko for making our stay so special - we will always remember our stay. Special thank you to Robin, Vita and Neeko!

The hotel was wonderful, but what put this above the rest was not only the location but the attentiveness from the staff. ||I forgot to tell them I prefer oatmilk until check-in. The next day, oatmilk magically appeared at my breakfast. This hotel an hour from the shops. I cringed to think the trouble the hotel took to procure the oatmilk. ||Unfortunately, we were trapped by the 7.4 earthquake. I was completely amazed by the calmness and round the clock hard work from the staff who were totally unfazed by our recurrent and repetitive questions. I personally want to thank Dorcas, Althea, James Ko, Robin Choy, sweet Mina Hung, and most of all, Cece Wu. Couldn't have been sane without them. I am sure I miss others who were so kind to us. These staff are what make Silks Group deserving of their stellar reputation. ||We will return as we missed our private tour of the gorge. :(
