Best Hotels with Activities in New Taipei

New Taipei rings Taiwan's capital across the Tamsui River, and its hotel row clusters in Banqiao, the district with the fastest rail links back into central Taipei. Families comparing this base against downtown Taipei get the same 30 to 40 minute reach to Taoyuan Airport, lower room rates, and properties built around business travelers that also work for a week with kids: rooftop pools, in-house restaurants, and bus stations a few minutes' walk from the door. Zhongxiao and the Museum of Contemporary Art area sit just across the river, so a New Taipei stay still puts Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and Taipei Main Station inside a short transit hop rather than a taxi ride, without downtown Taipei's room rates.
