amba Taipei Songshan has opened in eastern Taipei, just five minutes’ drive from the iconic Taipei 101 tower.
amba Taipei Songshan welcomes guests into a vibrant urban oasis that blends modernity with authentic Taiwanese flavor. Panoramic views of Taipei 101 and the beautiful Keelung River are a spectacular feature throughout the hotel. The Lobby is a fun social space for guests to hang out, offset by views of Taipei 101.
