The Richforest Hotel Sun Moon Lake

On the glassy shores of Sun Moon Lake in Yuchi, Nantou — a lakefront hotel that mirrors Lalu Island and the surrounding mountains. Steps from Yidashao Pier and Ita Thao Shopping Street, and minutes from the Sun Moon Lake Ropeway, Wen Wu Temple and Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village. About a 90-minute drive from Taichung Airport; popular with families looking for a scenic getaway.

Built from cypress and famed as a landmark wooden hotel, the property dishes up dramatic 180-degree round French windows and balconies where you can fish off your room. There are 45 air-conditioned rooms with minibars/refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, safes and desks; bathrooms feature separate tubs and showers, bidets and complimentary toiletries. Daily housekeeping keeps the place fresh.

Take a dip in the indoor pool, slide into the hot tub or unwind in the sauna after a day on the lake. Extras include an arcade/game room, Chinese chess room, gym, tour and ticket assistance, plus an area shuttle (surcharge) for local sights and free self‑parking. Wake up to lake-mirror mornings and easy access to boat piers.

Two meeting rooms and a business center handle events and work needs. Complimentary wireless internet, free self parking, 24-hour front desk and lobby newspapers keep business travelers moving.

An on-site restaurant serves international dishes with sweeping 180-degree lake views and room service is available. Buffet breakfasts are offered daily (fee applies) to get you ready for island-hopping and temple trails.
