Hotel Resonance Taipei

Hotel Resonance Taipei sits on Linsen South Road in Zhongzheng District, which puts you right in the thick of things. You're practically next door to the impressive National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall, and several metro stations are basically on your doorstep. This place is part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection, and they're genuinely welcoming to gay travelers - no pretense here.
What's nice about this hotel is they've thought through the details without going overboard. The rooms feel comfortable rather than flashy, with decent tech and seating areas where you can actually relax.
They've got a 24-hour gym that covers what most people need, plus a spa for when you want to treat yourself. The front desk crew runs things well and they're helpful when you're figuring out what to see.
Ximending is where Taipei's gay scene happens, especially around the old Red House Theatre. You'll find most of the city's gay bars and clubs clustered there, plus restaurants that really welcome gay people. Getting there from Hotel Resonance Taipei is pretty straightforward - about 15 minutes on the metro. Just walk to Shandao Temple Station and hop the Blue Line to Ximen Station.
