Designer: André Fu Studio
Location: Taipei, Taiwan, China
Award: AHEAD Asia 2025 Hotel of the Year
Category: Luxury Urban Hotel

Nestled in downtown Taipei, Capella Taipei is masterminded by celebrated designer André Fu. Centered on the design concept of a hidden contemporary Chinese mansion amid the bustling metropolis, the project perfectly interprets Taipei’s dual temperament: vibrant urban dynamism on the exterior and serene tranquility within. After in-depth research into local cultural heritage, the design strikes an elegant balance between bespoke luxury hospitality and timeless oriental aesthetics. Boasting only 86 guestrooms, this iconic luxury hotel exudes understated prestige.
Rooted in refined, muted earth tones, the space features extensive dark wood veneer with rich texture, complemented by subtle natural stone and aged bronze metallic trims. Soft upholstery fabrics and handcrafted furnishings infuse warm humanistic charm into the rigid architectural framework.
True luxury is no longer the accumulation of ostentatious embellishments, but the creation of a calming urban oasis. Rooted in indigenous local culture, the hotel redefines the laid-back rhythm of modern upscale travel and accommodation.
