Taipei Hotels Near 101

The Taipei 101 is the name currently given to a building that used to be known as the Taipei World Financial Center. This skyscraper is an iconic building that was at one time the tallest building in the world. In fact, it held this title from its opening in 2004, all the way until 2010, when the Burj Khalifa, the current tallest building in the world, was opened in the United Arab Emirates.

Not only is the Taipei 101 one of the tallest buildings in the world, but it is also one of the greenest (in the ecological sense of the world) which is unusual for such a huge skyscraper. A rating by the LEED actually declared the Taipei 101 to be the tallest green building in the world, a title that will take some beating. This stylish building plays an important role in Taiwan in many ways: it is an iconic building and something that the Taiwanese are very proud of, it is a tourist attraction and it is also a financial center.

If you are planning a trip to this city then you’ll want to make sure that you pay a visit to the Taipei 101. There are also plenty of other great attractions in this district, known as the Xinyi District, so many travelers choose to book into a hotel in the area.
