Hotel Eight Zone en Taipei, Taiwan

Just when the world's boutique hotels are inviting internationally acclaimed designers on board to jazz up the interior, Hotel Eight Zone bucks the trend by using everything Taiwanese, from furnishing items to construction materials. Whether it is the shower kit in test tube containers, lamps of various geometric patterns and the fancy way of showing the room number (through the reflection from a carved steel plate), Hotel Eight Zone is a hotel entirely of its own brand rather than a house of designer labels. The 50 guest rooms are derived from eight different styles of design. All rooms from the size of 39m2 to 75m2 are equipped with a 42inch plasma TV, super sonic massage bathtub, a TV in the bathroom, minus ion whitening milk bath and steam bath. In other words, all the amenities that provide a relaxing stay. You may also indulge yourself at the 8 Fun Cigar lounge that has a futuristic interior design made chiefly by glass panes lit by colourful LED lights. If your idea of a hotel was merely a sleeping space, Hotel Eight Zone is the reason you should think again.
