Regent Taipei (Chinese: 晶華酒店; pinyin: Jīnghuá Jiǔdiàn) is a luxury hotel in Taipei, Taiwan. It opened in 1990 as the Regent Taipei, and later became the Grand Formosa Regent before reverting to its current name.[1] It is owned and operated by Taiwan-based FIH Regent Group.

History

Regent Taipei was conceptualised in 1973 by Formosa International Hotels founder, S.R. Pan, upon the need for a luxury hotel in Taipei. This was later realised in 1984 when Y.H. Chen of Tuntex Group cooperated with Pan to build this hotel. An agreement with Regent International Hotels was signed the same year to manage the hotel. The hotel opened in 1990 as The Regent Taipei. In 2011, the hotel name was reverted to Regent Taipei after being titled Grand Formosa Regent for 17 years.[1]

Restaurants and shops

The hotel is home to Azie Grand Cafe, one of the eight restaurants housed within Regent Taipei. The restaurant is known for its beef noodles which was claimed to be one of the best by the Taipei Beef Noodle Festival as well as CNN Travel in 2015.[2]

Regent Galleria occupies a two-story space that occupies the entirety of the hotel's basement. It features boutiques such as Goyard, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Bang & Olufsen.

The hotel's lobby and entrance was featured in 2014 film Lucy by Luc Besson.[3]
