Cool quality and exclusive design in Asia’s hotel heaven

New design address in Taiwan: the W Hotel Taipei shines with Axor Citterio

Bigger, higher, more exciting: As Asian metropolitan centers grow, benchmarks are set ever higher. For the new high-end hotels, the focus is on both quality and design. The W Hotel, the new luxury address in Taipei (Taiwan), achieves both these objectives with the Axor Citterio bathroom collection from Axor, the designer brand of Hansgrohe AG. Which is only to be expected, since the capital W of the hotel brand stands simultaneously for world class, wellbeing, and an amazed “Wow!” from the hotel guests.

The cool look so characteristic for W hotels around the globe is also evident in the capital of Taiwan: in the 405 rooms and suites of the hotel officially opened in 2011, planners mixed extravagant designer furniture with the timelessness and nobility of marble, ornamental rugs and carpets accentuating bold colors with fine timbers and avant-garde lighting features. They gave top priority to individual wellbeing: bathroom and living spaces blend harmoniously, with the Axor Citterio luxury fittings making a perfect match. The bathroom collection created in collaboration with Axor lives up to this credo in exemplary fashion: with its clean geometrical lines and bright surfaces, Axor Citterio brings an ambience of exceptional quality to the bathrooms. As Antonio Citterio puts it: “My aim is to provide an immediate experience of the richness of water.”
