Eslite Hotel Taipei Review | 诚品行旅
Many people know Eslite as one of the largest bookstores in Taiwan. It was established by Rober We Ching-yu in 1989 and his first humble book shop was located in Dunhua Taipei. They started selling art and humanities related books before their first 24 hour bookstore in Taiwan.
Now, they have a total of 48 branches, 4 music stores, retail shopping mall called Eslite Spectrum and their first hotel, The Eslite Hotel. Understanding the history of Eslite gives me the idea of the expectation of the hotel.
I stayed in many different hotels around Asia and some parts of the world. This one goes into the list of one of the most unique hotels I’ve stayed. This is not one of those super luxurious hotels or stunning design hotels ever but the concept is rather unique.
