Yesterday I showed you our Fantastic Suite at the WTaipei Hotel. In today’s post I would like to show you around in the rest of the WTaipei. When you enter the hotel on ground level, you take the elevator to the 10th floor where the actual hotelreception and lobby is. At that level we find the lounge bar, […]
Boutique Hotel Pousada Tauma: restaurant The Copper Bowl
The hotel has it’s own semi-al-fresco restaurant: the Copper Bowl. Usually only ‘our’ table and one other one were occupied, so it felt almost as our private restaurant. The food was delicious!
