BUILT AROUND A VOLCANIC geothermal hot spring, Villa 32 draws heavily on its natural environment to create open, invigorating spaces in the busy northern district of Beitou. For the complete relaxation experience, indulge in a full range of spa offerings—from Chinese meridian therapy to mother-to-be treatments. Don’t miss guest appearances in The Restaurant by Michelin Star-winning chefs.
“We make cocktails for people who usually order beer,” says Angus Zou, the brains behind Draft Land. After building a name for himself at Alchemy, a trailblazer in Taipei’s speakeasy scene, he opened this taproom in 2018 to take the fuss out of ordering a mixed drink.
Like most speakeasies worth their salt, the first rule of Staff Only Club was, “do not tell anyone.” But good news travels fast, and soon after opening late last year, this members-only club became Taipei’s worst-kept secret.
Occupying the 12th floor of the recently opened Kimpton Da’an hotel, restaurant-slash-bar The Tavernist offers yet another reason to venture around this district after dark.
If you weren’t in Bangkok this week, you missed a really great party.
