The theme this week seems to be the expansion in Asia, and Starwood continues the charge with the first W Hotel in Taiwan, opening in Taipei on December 28, 2010.
If you don't already recognize the skyscraper looming in the background of the rendering above, that's Taipei 101, once the world's tallest building and still the most recognizable in the country. The W won't be next door exactly, but they're hoping the sleek glass facade will make it an attraction all its own in the energetic Xinyi district. It also helps that the W Taipei will boast two scenester restaurants, a W retail store and a rooftop WET pool and bar.
It's a big hotel too; 405 guestrooms and 31 stories. Sadly they aren't accepting reservations just yet so we don't have any room rates, but we'd guess high $300s to low $400s for a standard room.
When they do finally release more specifics, you can bet that we'll let you know all about the highly anticipated "365 sqm Extreme Wow Suite." Who wants to bet it'll have a killer view of Taipei 101?
