Caesar Park Hotel Banqiao (板橋凱薩飯店) aims to attract family guests during the summer to meet its goals for this year, Caesar Park Hotels and Resorts (凱撒飯店連鎖) communications officials said yesterday.
“The facility is relatively quiet this quarter, but business is improving over the summer, the high season for family vacations,” public relations manager Zara Wang (王筱瑩) said.
The hotel’s occupancy rate averaged 60 percent in the first half of the year, slightly behind its target of 65 percent following its grand opening in December last year, company data showed.
The food and beverage business accounted for 40 percent of the hotel’s sales, also behind its goal of 60 percent, according to the data, as it aims to become New Taipei City’s largest restaurant operator.
The hotel has three restaurants and a banquet space that serves Chinese, Cantonese and Italian cuisines, as well as seafood and personalized menus.
The Bon Appetit buffet restaurant has added Southeast Asian cuisines to attract customers, Wang said, adding that foreign travelers account for 35 percent of its clientele, 15 percent of whom are from ASEAN members.
The hotel is to launch a special NT$4,999 per night package from Sunday to Sept. 30, Wang added.

The company attributed the quarterly drop to a slowdown in customers’ production of chips using Faraday’s advanced packaging technology. The company is still confident about its revenue growth this year, given its strong “design-win” — or the projects it won to help customers design their chips, Faraday president Steve Wang (王國雍) told an online earnings conference. “The design-win this year is better than we expected. We believe we will win
Chizuko Kimura has become the first female sushi chef in the world to win a Michelin star, fulfilling a promise she made to her dying husband to continue his legacy. The 54-year-old Japanese chef regained the Michelin star her late husband, Shunei Kimura, won three years ago for their Sushi Shunei restaurant in Paris. For Shunei Kimura, the star was a dream come true. However, the joy was short-lived. He died from cancer just three months later in June 2022. He was 65. The following year, the restaurant in the heart of Montmartre lost its star rating. Chizuko Kimura insisted that the new star is still down
While China’s leaders use their economic and political might to fight US President Donald Trump’s trade war “to the end,” its army of social media soldiers are embarking on a more humorous campaign online.
