Taipei just got itself a new boutique hotel, the first new luxury hotel to open in the city for many years. The décor of the Hotel Éclat is a bit over the top, but it features the owner’s personal art and furniture collection. The lounge sets the tone featuring two original Salvador Dali sculptures and vast glass hanging light sculptures in various shades of purple by Czech glass artist Jitka Skuhravá. The hotel is well located in the fashionable Da-An district just minutes from the Tun Hua South Rd luxury shopping district.
