Nineteen years ago, a hotel opened that immediately stood apart from all others in Asia. The design was French art deco, the service was personalized. And as if the success of the hotel was preordained, it took the name of The Ritz Taipei.
In 1983, The Ritz Landis Taipei became the only hotel in Taiwan to have a place on the distinguished list of The Leading Hotels of the World. For membership, a hotel must meet the highest level of achievement in service, physical structure, location, management, cuisine and all other aspects of guest comfort. At The Ritz Landis Taipei, this standard has never been in doubt.
A stay at The Ritz Landis Taipei begins before you arrive. At the airport you are greeted and escorted to a waiting Mercedes. You are addressed by name and accompanied to your room. All your preferences in room service and special amenities have been logged into our computer and arranged beforehand. Throughout your stay, friendly dedicated staff make every effort to anticipate your needs and honor your requests.
The Ritz Landis has played host to the rich and famous of the world. Some well-known guests include the Prince and Princess of Liechtenstein, Alex Haley, Placido Domingo, Pavarotti, Jose Carreras, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Jessye Norman, Baroness Lydia Dunn, former US President Gerald Ford, Madame Jehan Sadat, widow of the late President of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, and many many more, including the heads of major international corporations.
Geared to the business traveler, The Ritz Landis Taipei has your priorities clearly in mind. There is a Business Center and bar, a multi-purpose banquet room and several smaller function rooms for meetings and private dinners. The Health Center with fitness equipment, rooftop whirlpool and sunbathing area gives you the competitive edge.
Some of the finest cuisine in Taipei is served at The Ritz Landis. Paris 1930 is lavish in its presentation of delicately prepared dishes complemented by vintage wines. La Brasserie showcases a fine selection of international specialties in a French bistro setting. And the elegant Tien Hsiang Lo is known for its authentic Hangchow cuisine. Today, The Ritz Landis has never looked better. Each successive year adds to its considerable reputation. A continuous dollar renovation has brought more and more poise and elegance to the hotel.
