Chateau de Chine Hotel Hualien  

Perched on the eastern edge of Hualien, within easy walking distance of the city centre and minutes from Hualien County Stone Sculpture Museum and Hualien Railway Culture Park. Close to Hualien Port and the Hualien Cultural Center, it’s a gateway to Taroko Gorge and the eastern seafront. The property bills itself as the first international resort hotel in Eastern Taiwan with a green‑hotel ethos.

Rooms frame sweeping views — from the Pacific to the Central Mountain Range and the Suhua cliffs. Expect pillowtop beds, refrigerators and LCD TVs, plus deep soaking tubs in many rooms and simple in‑room comforts like slippers. The hotel blends modern green architecture with local art installations by Taiwan artist Jimmy for a playful, design-forward vibe.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or unwind in the spa tub and sauna. There’s a fitness centre and a kids’ playroom, plus free wired and wireless internet across the property. Concierge and tour desk services help arrange excursions. Free parking and a complimentary area shuttle make getting around easy. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and head out from an eco‑minded base.

Conference and meeting rooms, a business centre and complimentary high‑speed (wired) internet support events and work trips. Scheduled airport and train station shuttle services are available.

Three on‑site restaurants, a coffee shop/café and a bar/lounge keep things simple and satisfying. There’s also a poolside bar, buffet breakfasts (for a fee) and limited‑hour room service for laid‑back mornings and late returns.
