The Westin Taipei hotel offers Starwood Platinum guests an option to have breakfast in the Westin Executive Club Lounge or at the lobby restaurant. I always opt for the restaurant because the offerings are generally larger and there\u2019s much more to choose from. Some people like to have breakfast in a more private setting and the Westin Executive Club Lounge offers that.<\/p>\n

I was a bit turned off that the Westin Executive Club Lounge attendant didn\u2019t let me take pictures, but other than that, I had an excellent stay at the Westin Taipei hotel. The one-bedroom suite was amazing and the service at the restaurant was great. The location was excellent since it was only a 4 minute walk to the nearby Nanjing East Road MRT station. I would highly recommend this hotel if you\u2019re a die-hard Starwood fan.<\/p>\n
