In development since 2004, the Radium-Kagaya International Hotel is located in Beitou, a resort area at the foot of a sulfur-scented group of mountains known as Yangmingshan that dominates Taipei’s northern skyline. It is built on top of the site of Beitou’s first hot spring hotel.
The 14-storey resort features private hot spring tubs, segregated hot spring and sauna areas, a spa, three restaurants, conference facilities and a host of other services. The restrained atmosphere and moderately subdued lighting lend a tranquil feel to the interior space.
The luxurious, 90-room resort is resonant with Japanese ambience and employs Japanese managers to get the perfect touch. The hotel has also trained its local staff in Japanese customs and traditions. The seven classes of rooms at the hotel are in the traditional Japanese style and range from TWD24,000 ($800) to TWD120,000 ($4,000) per night.
