Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced the opening of EPISODE Daan Taipei under the JdV by Hyatt brand, marking their second collaboration with Riant Hotels Co. Ltd. Following the successful launch of EPISODE Hsinchu in Taiwan in 2022, EPISODE Daan Taipei is situated in the bustling East District of Taipei, a mere three-minute walk from the Zhongxiao Fixing MRT station.
Designed for modern travelers, the hotel promises exceptional value and the vibrant joy of life synonymous with the JdV by Hyatt portfolio. From the moment guests enter the lobby, they are greeted with a blend of music, vintage aesthetics, and contemporary culture, a theme carried throughout the hotel, including the fifth-floor hybrid space, The SOCIAL by Lay Low, and the guest rooms.
EPISODE Daan Taipei upholds the “Less but Better” philosophy, offering rooms with elevated amenities and comfortable spaces. The hotel features self-service check-in technology and a front desk “Experience Provider” to deliver personalized service.
In collaboration with the renowned Lay Low bar in Taichung, the hotel introduces The SOCIAL by Lay Low, an all-day hybrid social space open to everyone. This area combines music, cocktails, dining, literature, and vinyl records, transforming the traditional hotel lobby into a cozy living space for both guests and locals. The head mixologist from Lay Low creates cocktails and craft beers infused with Taiwanese flavors, offering unique treats like Grandma’s spicy radish pickle cheese and Australian Wagyu with twin pepper honey sauce. The space also features DJs and live jazz performances, creating a relaxed atmosphere for all.
Guestrooms at EPISODE Daan Taipei are designed with music and retro themes, featuring vintage vinyl CD players and a curated selection of CDs. The nine-story hotel offers 136 rooms with views of the Xinyi District or premium rooms with private balconies and bathtubs. Each room includes plush 400-thread count sheets, Sealy mattresses, silk eye masks, and noise-canceling earplugs for restful sleep. Additional amenities include MALIN+GOETZ toiletries, UNIX salon-grade hairdryers, in-room facial acupressure massagers, and 55-inch Samsung smart TVs for modern entertainment.
