The Taipei Arena business district welcomes the strongest new pilgrimage landmark! "InterContinental Taipei" officially opened grandly today (8th). As a luxury hotel located in the core of Taipei Arena Park, it perfectly connects the Xinyi Business District, Taipei 101 and Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. It not only completes the key puzzle of a complete living circle for the Arena, but also creates a new entertainment ecosystem for trendy players who love to eat, drink and play, integrating events, concerts, shopping and international top hotels.

InterContinental Taipei Hotel hopes to not only allow travelers to "see Taipei", but also to truly enter the life of Taipei.

As soon as you step into the hotel lobby, you are greeted by a visually stunning giant installation art. The work is inspired by the classic memory of thousands of fans shouting in the rain during the 1991 Professional Baseball Championship Game: "We want the Dome!" The designer also intertwined crystal raindrops into a streamlined "Shell of Wishes" with embedded dynamic screens showing Taipei 101 fireworks and other imagery. It is definitely a check-in hotspot not to be missed during the opening period.

The installation art in the lobby tells the "future" of the city. The staggered and drooping crystal raindrops are intertwined, echoing the image of Taipei's rainy city.

The hotel design also draws on traditional memories and tells Taipei's "present" and "past" with details. For example, the Thea Lounge in the lobby re-translates the iron window grilles of old Taipei houses into screens; the banquet space draws inspiration from the Chinese music memories of generations of Taipei people, turning notes, keys and sound waves into spatial lines; the executive lounge extracts window panes, ceramic tiles and metal components from old city buildings, allowing travelers to re-understand Taipei.

The crystal art in the banquet hall is inspired by the lights on a rainy night in Taipei, and the carpet texture extends like sound waves.

The executive lounge uses the concept of "city living room" to interpret the urban memory of old Taipei.

Another exciting thing about the opening of the InterContinental Taipei Hotel is the strong lineup of 7 major catering brands. The first wave of operation highlights include "Thea Lounge", a contemporary and fashionable space centered on Japanese tea and night wine, "NTD Eatery" next to the Dome, which provides all-day Italian home-cooked food and must-have To-Go Pizza for concerts, "Rough Cuts" direct-fire steaks that specialize in searing and aging techniques, and "Simple" which is full of tipsy music.

After November, we will also welcome the global trend-setting international celebrity chef restaurant "Akira Back" and the limited-seat Omakase's top-notch Korean Fine Dining "Dosa by Akira Back", which has directly become the most difficult to book a restaurant in Taipei.

"Thea Lounge" mainly focuses on exquisite "flowers and tea drinks" to connect all-day communication time.

"Rough Cuts" uses oven roasting and aging techniques to show the charm of the original meat of the steak.
