For the view and location not to mention the history where former strongman Chiang Kai shek stayed also his son former president. Expensive but worth it but stay away from Chinese resto just the cafe buffet area! Very good rooms and modern design.

This place was one of the highlights of our trip. The hotel offers a refuge from all the loud tour groups down by the ferry launch points. Even though this place is considered high end in Taiwan, it is a great value compared to similar hotels in the States. The staff is very helpful and friendly - we even met someone who lived in the city we were from! The views are incredible - multiple areas in the lobby and open spaces offer great vantage points, and the rooms open up to the lake. You definitely feel like this is your own sanctuary. The food at dinner (Chinese cuisine) was really high end and comparable to tasting menus at big name restaurants. Breakfast had a pretty big spread. Rooms are very comfortable. Wi-fi access in rooms and lobby area. Infinity pool also has great views but I would recommend going when it's sunnier as it's not that well-heated. Definitely worth it!

I do not want to spend time on the view from this hotel as it is reported before. I just want to write on the spa. We have a two days stay in the hotel. The hotel will be very quiet after six pm and there is almost no activity apart from the restaurant which also close early. We decided to spend the night in the spa. It is a bit expensive but we don't care as we want good service. The spa is supposed to open till 11pm and, as suggested by the receptionist in the spa we have booked a 90min massage at 9.30 pm. We arrived at 9 pm to get things ready. We took a bath and not until 9.40 pm there is a lady coming toask us to choose the massage oil. By the time we reached the room it is almost 10pm. The room is incredibly hot with a fire place. We asked them to turn off the fire place and get some fresh air. Then we were left in the room for a foot bath (which was not mentioned) It is after 10 .15 pm when we started. I told the receptionist that I need strong massage but what I get is a painful massage with sharp fingernails. At around 10.50, the therapist left the room and I not being told was still lying on the couch. Not until my wife came over, I do not know the treatment is finished. I have to spend sometime to look for my robe which the therapist had tossed it to a corner. A 90 min turned out to to be a 35 min painful massage. Worse to come is that when I was still changing in the men' room , the lady receptionist intruded into the saying that the staff are leaving soon. (luckily I have my underwear on). Of course we have paid the full amount as they were so clever to charge it first.
I think if the spa has to close exactly at 11pm, they should not accept a 90 min massage at 9.30 and they should not say in the pamphlet a 90 min deep tissue massage if it in fact include all our waiting time, preparation work , choosing the massage oil, tea and refreshment and the foot bath

I simply love the staff at the Lalu! They are so helpful and the service is ace! The entrance of the hotel is quiet but enticing, food is great and most importantly, the room has a fantastic view as it overlooks the Sun Moon lake. You get to see the beautiful sunrise in the morning! I stayed in the club suite which has a large balcony. Love chilling outside and enjoying the awesome view. Will be back again for sure.
