Top hotels in Pingxi District
The Grand Hotel
Beautiful architecture and tasty breakfast (with duck and high quality seafood and meat). Room AC didn’t go all the way down to 18C and front desk staff was a little aloof but overall great experience. Did both east and west secret passageway tours.

Shangri-La Far Eastern, Taipei
Beautiful large room. Excellent staff in the Horizon Lounge. Great service in Li Bai and the lobby lounge. The international buffet at the Cafe was a bit of a bun fight with the locals, although the food itself was good.
