Grand Hi Lai Hotel  

Perched nearly 200 metres above Kaohsiung, this 5-star hotel sits in the heart of the city and towers over Kaohsiung International Harbor. You're steps from Hanshin Department Store and a short ride to Glory Pier, Holy Rosary Basilica and the Urban Spotlight Arcade.

Baroque architecture outside meets elegant neoclassical design inside. The property offers over 400 individually styled guestrooms, an Executive Club for premium service, minibars and private baths with deep soaking tubs on many rooms — plus harbor views from higher floors.

Unwind in outdoor pools, a full health club and sauna, or book massages and wellness treatments. There’s a poolside bar and multiple cafes, a concierge and tour desk, valet parking and free wired/wireless internet. Families are welcome with babysitting/childcare available.

Massive meeting and event spaces — roughly 62,000 sq ft of conference center and a banquet hall that seats up to 2,000 — plus meeting rooms and a business center. Complimentary high-speed wired internet, a computer station and optional airport or train pick-up service keep business running smoothly.

Choose from 13 restaurants serving Japanese, Western and regional Chinese specialties, including the Lobster Bar and a coffee shop for casual bites. Expect poolside snacks, full breakfast/lunch/dinner menus and 24-hour room service.
