5 Great Hotels in Tainan, the Food City of Taiwan

These are the most beautiful hotels in Tainan that you want to book for your food trip.

Tainan feels different from Taipei and should not be missed during a tour of Taiwan if you love good food. Think: fewer skyscrapers, more temples, old streets, and restaurants where recipes have been made the same way for generations. That is precisely why I think Tainan might just be the most enjoyable city in Taiwan for food and culture lovers. During the day, you walk from food market to coffee shop and from small boutique to historic temple, while finding something to eat everywhere in between. It is therefore not surprising that Tainan is called the food capital of Taiwan. In terms of hotels, Tainan also has plenty of great places you will want to book. From stylish design hotels to quiet boutique stays where modern interiors are combined with Taiwanese influences. In this YLBB shortlist, I have listed the most beautiful hotels in Tainan for you.

5 Best Hotels in Tainan to Book During Your Trip Through Taiwan

Silks Place Tainan

For foodies is Silks Place Tainan A very nice hotel in Tainan. From here, you can easily walk to many famous food spots, night markets, and the historic streets the city is known for. The hotel itself combines modern luxury with subtle Taiwanese influences without feeling too grand. The rooms are spacious and modernly furnished, and the delicious breakfast and the pool are a real big plus. For breakfast, you definitely want to order the beef noodle soup; it is truly delicious. Good to know: keep in mind that you are required to wear a swimming cap at all hotel pools in Taiwan. I stayed here for a few nights and would book it again in a heartbeat next time.
No. 1, Heyi Road, West Central District, Tainan

UIJ Hotel & Hostel

One of the nicest design hotels in Tainan remains UIJ Hotel & HostelThe hotel features a minimalist, almost Scandinavian interior. Despite the hostel name, it feels primarily like a stylish boutique hotel, with both private rooms and shared spaces. The details, in particular, make this hotel extra special. Some deluxe rooms feature a Crosley record player with a vinyl collection, and downstairs you will find BBBooks, a 24-hour library lounge where guests can quietly read, work, or enjoy a coffee. From the rooftop terrace, you overlook Tainan, while below, the city's old streets, temples, and markets are literally just around the corner. This rooftop terrace is incredibly cozily lit in the evening!

Provintia Hotel

In the middle of one of the oldest parts of Tainan lies Provintia HotelThe interior feels warm with dark wood, rattan accents, copper details, and, once again, record players in the rooms. Some rooms overlook the historic Chihkan Tower. What makes this hotel extra fun is that it feels just a bit more playful than a classic city hotel. For instance, you'll find a small arcade room with retro games (I think my son would have really appreciated this too!). Additionally, the hotel has rooms suitable for groups or families with multiple kids. Also handy during a longer tour of Taiwan: washing machines are available for those who want to do a load of laundry in between.
No. 202, Chenggong Road, North District, Tainan

Roots Chew Hotel

Located in the West Central District of Tainan Roots Chew Hotel, a somewhat smaller hotel.

The rooms are compact but cleverly designed and especially nice if you spend a lot of time away from home in Tainan. The location makes this hotel even more appealing. From here, you can easily walk to small restaurants, temples, coffee bars, and night markets in the old city center.
