W Taipei opened in 2011. It was last renovated in 2025: all 405 rooms and suites, the ballroom, lobby and French restaurant, over more than two years from 2023, by GA Design International, the original designers.
The hotel takes floors 8 to 31, with the lobby on the 10th, of a tower built over Taipei City Hall Bus Station; the exterior was conceived by Japanese designer Tadashi Yamane and the interiors by GA Design International of London on a 'nature electrified' theme, with timber check-in counters, green walls by the pool and an interactive light installation, To Light You Fade, by rAndom International at the entrance. It opened on 14 February 2011 as W Hotels' first in Taiwan and 39th worldwide. GA Design returned for a refurbishment of more than two years, from 2023 to January 2025, which replaced the original saturated colours with earth tones, green and sunset orange, added recycled-terrazzo surfaces, and put digital art by Daniel Brown in the guest-floor lift lobbies.
