History

Cosmos Hotel Taipei opened in 1979 as its group's inaugural hotel, and in 2011, the hotel underwent a major renovation in which both its interior and exterior were upgraded to "carry a sleek and modern look".[4]

The hotel has been noted to historically have consistently elevated occupancy rates.[5][6] In 2018, the hotel reportedly had a 93% occupancy rate, topping the charts of the Tourism Bureau for the seventh year in a row.[7]

Tourism Bureau data notes that between January to March 2020, Tourism rates in Taiwan had plummeted by 40 percent, however, Cosmos Hotel & Resorts group had reported that its city hotels (including Cosmos Hotel Taipei) had nearly recovered to pre-COVID-19 levels of room occupancy.[5][8]

Transportation

Cosmos Hotel Taipei has been noted for its "convenient" location adjacent to the Taipei Main Station in western Taipei, where it is accessible via the M3 exit.[4] As such, the Taipei Main Station links hotel guests to the MRT (metro), Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR), Taiwan Railway (TRA), intercity buses, and local buses all in the same area.[9]

Facilities

The hotel itself has 226 hotel rooms in total and operates two restaurants: 翠庭中餐廳 (Jade Chinese Restaurant) and 百合西餐廳 (Lily Western Restaurant) with all-day meal service. In addition to this, there is also a coffee shop and gift shop on the lobby level.[10]

Recreational amenities offered include a health club with gym equipment and a steam room. The hotel also includes multiple conference rooms, a banquet hall, and several smaller meeting rooms.[11]

Officially, the hotel is rated four-stars by the Taiwan Tourism Bureau, Ministry of Transportation and Communications.[12]

2023 Incident

On July 29, 2023, a 30-year-old drunk male hotel guest who was dining with colleagues on the third floor opened a banquet-hall window and climbed onto the windowsill to "goof around." The man eventually lost his footing and fell three stories, sustaining fatal head injuries.[13][14]
