A Trip to Fleur de Chine Hotel at Sun Moon Lake, the Best Lake View Hotel
For a one-night stay with two meals at Sun Moon Lake, we chose the Fleur de Chine Hotel, which offers an excellent lake view. The hotel's location is superb, with no other buildings around to obstruct the view. You can overlook the entire Sun Moon Lake and the lush forest. No wonder the hotel is always busy despite its high price. The hardware, software, and service quality are impeccable.
We stayed in a 46-square-meter classic mountain view room, but we were lucky enough to be upgraded to a deluxe Japanese-style mountain and lake view room, probably because it was a weekday. Although the area is about the same, the layout and view are much more open. The Japanese tatami mats make the resting space larger and more leisurely. The room is a corner room, offering a panoramic view of the mountains and lake. It's fantastic!
The main purpose of visiting Sun Moon Lake is to relax and vacation, so the comfort of the hotel is very important. Besides the great view, there is also a large bathtub for hot springs, as well as a balcony and lounge chairs. It's so comfortable that you don't want to leave the room. However, we still went cycling around the lake trail to get closer to nature.
As for the room rates, the classic mountain view room with one night and two meals costs about 13,000 TWD. Considering the upgrade to the 17,000 TWD deluxe Japanese-style mountain and lake view room, the money spent is worth it. After all, it's a five-star hot spring hotel with a first-row lake view. Even in Japan, the price is about the same.
