Capella Taipei: André Fu modern European mansion sanctuary on Dunhua North Road with fine dining, rooftop pool, and Auriga Spa

Located along the majestic tree-lined boulevard of Dunhua North Road in the prestigious Songshan financial and cultural district of Taipei, Taiwan (just minutes from Taipei 101, Songshan Airport, and the historic Xingtian Temple), Capella Taipei opened as an urban sanctuary. Master-designed by internationally acclaimed architect André Fu (AFSO) as a contemporary European mansion infused with Chinese craftsmanship, the 86-room luxury retreat provides an intimate residential oasis. Featuring the signature French fine dining restaurant, the authentic Cantonese dining salon, a heated rooftop swimming pool framing Taipei 101, and the holistic Auriga Spa, this property is Taipei’s premier luxury boutique hotel.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Taiwanese urban tranquility: personal Capella Culturists greet guests in the light-filled André Fu lobby beside bespoke stone sculptures and blooming botanical gardens with chilled Taiwanese Alishan oolong tea, cold scented towels, and bespoke private check-in. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Taipei culinary, shopping, and cultural pursuits: walking along the leafy avenues of Dunhua North Road to local tea houses and galleries (steps away), visiting Taipei 101 and the National Palace Museum (15 minutes away), exploring the street food delicacies of Raohe Night Market (10 minutes away), swimming in the heated rooftop pool overlooking the city skyline, indulging in Taiwanese herbal therapies at Auriga Spa, enjoying evening cocktails in The Living Room, and reserving dinner at the signature restaurant.

Hotel living balances city discovery with serene Asian wellness: the Auriga Spa features private treatment suites, vitality pools, steam rooms, saunas, the rooftop pool, and therapies utilizing organic Taiwanese botanical herbs, camellia oil, and traditional reflexology. Dining is a celebrated culinary summit: refined modern French gastronomy (featuring local Taiwanese seafood, wagyu beef, black truffles, and Grand Crus), authentic Cantonese dim sum and roast meats, and artisan cocktails at the rooftop bar.

Accommodations comprise 86 rooms and luxury suites designed by André Fu ranging from 55 to 220 square metres. Each residence features custom curved furnishings, floor-to-ceiling windows framing the Dunhua canopy or Taipei 101, plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs and custom Capella amenities.

Design purists, food lovers, and luxury travelers seeking André Fu residential elegance, Dunhua North Road prestige, and rooftop pool relaxation in Taipei should book Capella Taipei without hesitation.
