【Tainan Travelogue】A Stay at Crowne Plaza Tainan — A Quality Getaway

Amid the hustle and bustle of daily life, taking a short trip with friends is the best reward for oneself. This time, I headed south to Tainan and stayed at Crowne Plaza Tainan, located in the Anping District. With its prime location near Taijiang National Park and the Sicao Green Tunnel, coupled with the refined service of a five-star hotel, the overall experience was highly satisfying. 1. Member Perks: The Allure of the Premium River View Room As an IHG Platinum Member, I was greeted with a warm welcome upon check-in. The front desk staff were courteous and professional, and after verifying my membership, they informed me that I had been upgraded to a "Premium River View Room." Already excited about this trip, this news made my day even better. Upon entering the room, I was greeted by the expansive view of the Taijiang Inner Sea. The sunlight reflected off the water, creating a serene atmosphere. The room's design was minimalist yet elegant, with soft lighting and a comfortable bed. The floor-to-ceiling windows allowed natural light to flood the room, making it perfect for relaxing, reading, or enjoying a cup of coffee while taking in the scenery. Shortly after, the staff delivered a welcome gift—a beautifully arranged fruit platter and colorful macarons. This thoughtful gesture made me feel truly valued. The fresh and juicy fruits, paired with the sweet and delightful macarons, complemented a cup of coffee or Tainan tea perfectly for a lovely afternoon tea experience. 2. A Relaxing Fitness Space The next morning, I made it a point to wake up early and visit the hotel's gym. Located on a higher floor, the gym was well-equipped, spacious, and filled with natural light. It featured treadmills, weight training equipment, yoga mats, and even provided towels and bottled water—a very considerate touch. Exercising while enjoying the view outside the window made the workout feel less tiring and more motivating. It gave me the sense that "even while traveling, I can maintain my fitness routine." 3. Culinary Delights and Exceptional Service Although I didn’t opt for breakfast at the hotel this time, my friends shared high praise for the on-site Element Restaurant and Cai Feng Lou. I’ll definitely make time to try them on my next visit. The overall service from the hotel staff left a lasting impression. Whether it was the receptionists, housekeeping staff, or gym attendants, everyone displayed professionalism and friendliness, enhancing the entire stay. 4. Prime Location with Easy Access to Anping Old Street The hotel is conveniently located near Anping Old Street and the Sicao Green Tunnel, making it easy to explore by car or scooter. It’s an ideal base for a day trip. For those interested in cultural attractions, the nearby Taijiang Cultural Center and Anping Tree House are great options to experience Tainan’s historical charm while indulging in local delicacies—a classic Tainan travel experience. 💞 Why I Recommend It: Conclusion: A Top Choice Worth Returning To Staying at Crowne Plaza Tainan was not just a comfortable accommodation experience but also a rejuvenating getaway for the mind and body. From member perks to meticulous housekeeping, from the captivating river views to the comprehensive facilities, every detail reflected the hotel’s dedication to its guests. If you’re looking for a place that combines natural beauty with high-quality service, this hotel should definitely be on your list. I look forward to visiting again, and next time, I plan to stay longer to fully enjoy the beauty and leisure of Tainan. 🕰️ Operating Hours: 24/7 🏖️ Atmosphere/Facilities: Lounge, Western and Chinese restaurants, parking, swimming pool, gym, kids’ playroom, sauna, souvenir shop 📍 Address: No. 289, Zhouping Road, Anping District, Tainan City 70841 💰 Average Cost: Around 3,500 TWD/room
