The Splendor Hotel Taichung stands at 1049 Jianxing Road in the West District, the part of the city that holds the Calligraphy Greenway, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Park Lane by CMP and the Sogo department store. The booking page lists it as a luxury hotel rated 4.5, with a guest score of 9 out of 10 from about a thousand reviews and praise for helpful staff. Free WiFi, free parking and a full-service spa are listed, which is a good package at a mid-range price. It is a convenient base for people who plan to spend their days among the city's museums and greenways.
Location and getting around
The West District is central, so the Calligraphy Greenway and its cafes and galleries are within reach by taxi or bus, and the National Museum of Natural Science sits at the northern end of the greenway. The old station area and Miyahara are a short ride east, and Xitun and the theatre are a short ride west. The booking page notes little transit information for the district and reviewers mention buses rather than metro, so plan on taxis for convenience.
Rooms and facilities
Expect comfortable rooms and the facilities listed on the booking page, which include free WiFi, free parking and a full-service spa. For anything else, such as pool, gym or breakfast, check your rate on the booking page, because the summary pages do not list it. The spa is a nice way to finish a day of walking, and parking will help if you are renting a car for a day trip to Sun Moon Lake or Cingjing.
Who it suits and what to know: it suits couples and adults who want a central, mid-priced base and a spa, and drivers who value free parking. It is less lively than Xitun after dark, so if you want to be near Fengjia and the theatre, look at the hotels in that area instead. Check the walking distance to the greenway before you book if that is your priority, and compare rates with and without breakfast.
