151, HeBei Road, Sec. 3

This new, 21-room motel is one of the latest entries into Taichung's famed luxury motel market, and is located in Beitun district near ChongDe Road, on the corner of HeBei Road and ChongDe 6th Street. The rooms, which range in size from 20-plus to 30-plus pings, are luxuriously-appointed and individually feature different decor themes, including Bali, Japan, modern Chinese, and the forest. The modern Chinese-themed room, for example, resembles a cross between an upscale resort room and a lounge bar, with an outer lounge-style living room area, separate bedroom, chic-looking fixtures, subdued lighting and three flat-screen TVs (living room, bedroom and bathroom). The enormous bathroom is also nicely decorated, tiled in brown stone with a state-of-the-art whirlpool-style bath that--like many of the rooms--generates, super-fine, milk-like bubbles for spa-like enjoyment. Other rooms styles include an indoor waterfall that makes guests feel as if they were in the outdoors. All rooms are also come with beauty products and other amenities. Rates range from NT$1,980 to NT$3,980 per night, or NT$680 to NT$880 for a three-hour rest.
