It is the earliest high-rise building in Taiwan Province Province, and its luxury is comparable to that of the Palace. It was once the best hotel in the world.

For many middle-aged and elderly tourists, Taiwan Province scenic spots such as Penghu Bay and Sun Moon Lake have their charm, but more shocking and spectacular scenery can be seen everywhere. The reason why many people are obsessed is often a kind of nostalgia. Even if the actual situation doesn't match your imagination, you should punch in once with the mentality of "the heart of the Yellow River will never die". And the same scenery, and hotels in Taipei.

Generally speaking, except for the seven-star sailing hotel in Dubai and the super five-star hotel in Atlantis, Sanya, the usual five-star hotels mainly serve the accommodation and food of tourists, but the grand hotel is a landmark attraction where many land travelers like to punch in when they go to Taipei. And its fame will start with its history and status.

The hotel started construction on 1952, and officially started operation on 1973. The completed hotel was the tallest building in Taiwan Province Province at that time. At this time, there are still 25 years before the completion of the 10 1 building, so the Grand Hotel was the tallest building in Taiwan Province Province for many years in the 1970s and 1980s, and it was the brightest landmark in Taipei at that time.

The hotel is located in Yuanshan, Kaohsiung, Taipei. Hotel high 14 floor. Red columns and golden tiles complement each other and have a strong Chinese style palace color. Surrounded by mountains and waters, the scenery is beautiful. Because of its gorgeous decoration and large area, it was rated as the best hotel in the world in the last century, which made dignitaries and celebrities at that time regard staying in the hotel as a symbol of their status.

For decades, it has been the first choice of many politicians, including former US presidents Richard Nixon, dwight david eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Other famous guests include King Hussein of Jordan, King and Queen of Thailand and Margaret Thatcher.

The admiration of these business and political celebrities doubled the price of Grand Hotel. It is said that attracting so many distinguished guests is related to a secret passage in the hotel. It is said that at that time, Taiwan Province Province dug two escape tunnels with a length of 180m under the former Taiwan Province Hotel, leading directly to Tan Jian Park and Bei 'an Park outside the hotel.

This legend has been passed down to this day, but after the renovation of the hotel, there was indeed a slide passage, but it was only used for escape, and it was not directly related to the legendary two secret passages. So when you come here to ask the hotel service staff, they may take you to the escape route for you to see.

History and politicians are just icing on the cake. Accommodation, food, style and atmosphere are the foundation of the hotel. The hotel is a grand hotel. The first floor is roughly divided into three halls: the main building, the Golden Dragon Hall, the Cuifeng Hall and the Kirin Hall. Its name and decoration are very China, facing the traditional palace pattern in China.

At the same time, the hotel rooms are all made of mahogany furniture, with antique decoration and a strong historical atmosphere, which is as luxurious as the palace. With the gradual improvement of the hotel, in addition to antique decoration, Yuanshan Hotel also extends to modern tennis courts, Olympic standard swimming pools, diving platforms, bowling alleys and other sports venues.

The reputation of "Imperial Chef" has also attracted many diners for the hotel. To put it simply, the design of that year was based on the theme of "Palace" to show a noble identity. This style of hotel was very popular in the last century.

In fact, according to the current standard of star-rated hotels, hotels can only be regarded as quasi-five-star, or even four-star level. However, due to the existence of historical background and special background, it never lacks tourists, and most of them are mainly land tourists. In terms of consumption, the accommodation price is about the level of ordinary five-star hotels, but the prices of afternoon tea and dinner are very high, making it the most expensive hotel in Taipei.

In fact, this palace-style old-fashioned decoration style is not attractive to young tourists who like the simple decoration style of modern hotels. From the perspective of cost performance, they can stay in better hotels at the same price, so its main customer base is Luke born before the 1980s. However, due to various factors, Luke, which accounts for half of its tourists, has been greatly reduced, and now it is affected by the epidemic. I wonder how long this The Old Inn can last.
