New addition When the W Taipei opened its doors in February, it became the first W hotel in the Taiwanese capital and the first international hotel to open in the city over the past 11 years. “W Taipei is definitely an overdue new hotel to the hospitality scene in Taipei,” says Ashley Hansen, director of sales and marketing at W Taipei. He says the hotel has had a tremendous response. “We have secured several definite larger groups prior to opening. Our social catering inquires have also been high for a preopening hotel.” W Taipei has teamed up with Le Meridien, which is part of the group and also in the Xinyi district, to secure larger meeting groups.
