THE AMNIS is a five-star luxury hotel at No. 199 Zhongshan 2nd Road in Qianzhen District, set close to the Sanduo Shopping District and within walking distance of the 85 Sky Tower and the Kaohsiung Main Public Library. With only 147 rooms it feels more personal than the city's large tower hotels. Rooms come in deluxe, premier, junior suite and studio styles with city or harbour views, premium bedding, a pillow menu, deep soaking tubs and electronic bidet toilets. Guests can use a rooftop pool with sun loungers, a health club with yoga classes, a sauna or steam room and spa treatments, and the hotel has a library, a business centre and car charging. Dining includes the Ukai-Tei teppanyaki restaurant and Dassai Bar. It is a strong choice for couples, business travellers and anyone who wants design, service and a calm base after a day of sightseeing.
Location and getting around
The hotel stands on Zhongshan 2nd Road, about four minutes on foot from Sanduo Shopping District Station, and roughly six minutes on foot from the shopping district itself and the main public library. The 85 Sky Tower is about seven minutes away on foot, and Central Park is a longer walk or a quick ride.
The Love River is a short drive, and Liuhe Night Market and Pier-2 are easy taxi rides, so the hotel suits visitors who are happy to use the metro and taxis for the main sights. Kaohsiung International Airport is around a quarter of an hour by car.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are the main attraction, with soft bedding, a pillow menu, large soaking tubs and well-planned workspaces, and the higher floors give wider city or harbour outlooks. The rooftop pool is the headline amenity, and the spa area with sauna or steam room, the gym and yoga classes add to the wellness offer.
Free self-parking is a welcome convenience in a city centre. Buffet breakfast is available for an extra charge and is generally praised for its quality, so decide whether to add it when comparing rates. Facilities such as the pool can close briefly for maintenance, so check the hotel if the pool matters to your plans.
Who it suits and what to know: THE AMNIS suits couples, honeymooners, food-focused travellers and business guests who value service and a quieter atmosphere than a large convention hotel. It is not on the waterfront, so those who want to step straight onto the Love River or Pier-2 may prefer a base in Yancheng.
Rates sit at the upper end for the city, and weekends and holiday periods fill earlier, so book ahead and compare room-only and breakfast rates. Check-in is usually in the afternoon, and luggage storage is available if your flight does not match the schedule.
