Health & Wellness
You’ll be amazed how many hours in the day you’ll spend between Qi Shiseido Salon and Spa and the wonderful health club at Shangri-La’s Far Eastern Plaza Hotel in Taipei. The spa is located on the 40th floor, with a HUGE spa menu and treatment rooms that have a birds-eye view of the lovely Taipei skyline. Their state-of-the-art health club has something for everyone, including fun and challenging classes ranging from yoga, Tai Chi, spinning, advanced muscle relief, and straight up physical fitness classes.
- Spa has six private rooms
- Fully equipped Health Club with professional instructors on-site who are available all day at the gym
- 2 outdoor swimming pools, including a year round heated rooftop pool

I love Taipei and would find it hard to stay anywhere with limited dining options or lacking a view of the iconic Taipei 101. The Shangri-La hotel brand never disappoints and an evening spent at the Marco Polo Lounge will certainly be a memory you carry with you long after you’ve departed.
