The lifestyle driven brand underscores Marriott's APAC expansion focus, with Moxy Osaka Shin Umeda also slated to open end 2020.
Marriott International has launched their first Moxy Hotel in
Taichung, Taiwan on 10 November, making it the sixth Moxy Hotel to open
in Asia Pacific. Other countries with the free-spirited brand's
footprint include South Korea, Japan, Indonesia and China. Moxy Osaka
Shin Umeda is also slated to open end 2020.
“This opening...underscores Marriott International’s commitment to
continue growing its lifestyle portfolio across the region, and to cater
to the next-generation of travelers with tailored experiences in a
well-designed space that is surprisingly affordable," said Henry Lee,
president, Greater China, Marriott International.
Business travellers will appreciate Moxy Taichung's address in
between the uptown and downtown districts, a short distance from the
nearest subway station and 13 minutes from the Taiwan High Speed Rail
Taichung Station. The Taichung International Airport is located
approximately 24 km away from the hotel.
Apart from the tech-enabled meeting room available for bookings, the
hotel's rooftop bar, XOXO delivers city views with curated cocktails for
a hosting party. Two 24-hour services open up flexibility for guests'
schedules: the ironing room for self-service ironing should there be
last minute meetings, and working in a sweat any time of the day at the
fitness centre.
All 262 rooms in Moxy Taichung come with modern essentials: 55-inch
flat screen television which allows YouTube and Netflix casting, sound
system, "furiously fast" Wi-Fi, multiple USB power outlets, and
motion-activated LED guidelights below the bed.
When business gives way to leisure time, guests can reach many of
Taichung's star attractions, including the Rainbow Village, Zhongshe
Flower Market, as well as the street food paradise 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, Moxy Taichung.
As Taiwan's second largest city, Taichung holds at least 40
exhibitions annual, ranked third in international conference ranking
according to ICCA's 2019 statistics. Apart from the existing World Trade
Center Taichung, and Greater Taichung International Expo Center, the
Shuinan International Convention Exhibition Center is slated to open by
2022.
