The newly opened Moxy Taichung, which boasts 262 keys and a lively rooftop bar, is one of Taiwan’s most exciting hotel developments in years.
Marriott International’s lifestyle brand Moxy has brought a burst of energy to Taiwan’s west coast. Its dynamic new property marks the latest stage in the hospitality giant’s rapid growth across the APAC region.
Moxy makes its mark on Taiwan
Located in the city of Taichung, Moxy’s inaugural hotel in Taiwan is already turning plenty of heads.
Jennie Toh, vice president of brand in Asia Pacific for Marriott International, said: “Across the Asia Pacific region and the world, the strong growth of our playful Moxy brand is proof that its brand philosophy resonates with millennial and next-gen guests, who seek a hotel stay at an affordable price point, saving on space and splurging on experiences. We are excited to be bringing the Moxy brand to Taiwan with the opening of Moxy Taichung, and to welcome travellers to the Moxy experience in this dynamic, future-forward city.”
A good fit for Moxy
Moxy is known for its playful profile and attracts a youthful demographic looking for fun, local activities to take part in. For its part, Moxy Taichung is situated within convenient reach of many of the city’s highlights, including Rainbow Village, Zhongshe Flower Market and the must-visit street food haven of Yizhong Street Night Market.
“Taichung is a vibrant and energetic city that celebrates openness and originality, which also happens to be the attitude for all Moxy Hotels worldwide,” said Pascal Hsiao, captain of Moxy Taichung. “We look forward to welcoming adventure-seeking travellers to experience our lively communal spaces, and spirited beverage and food programming.”
What’s in store at Moxy Taichung
Each of the 262 rooms boasts a flexible layout and adaptable furnishings, making it appropriate for all sorts of different travellers. In terms of specifics, the rooms feature 55-inch flat screen TVs, high-quality sound systems, free wifi, USB power outlets and motion-activated LED guidelights underneath the beds.
Upon arrival, meanwhile, guests can get in the mood for their stay with a complimentary ‘Go Moxy’ cocktail. Visitors can also avail themselves of the 24-hour fitness centre and gym, and observe the city from above at the buzzing XOXO rooftop bar.
An Ikea affiliate has teamed up with Marriott International to develop a chain of hotels in the same affordable, compact and stylish vein as the furniture store.
