Rated 8.0 from 920 reviews — Hotel Midtown Richardson is the most design-forward 4-star hotel in Ximending, inspired by New York boutique hotels: a wide lobby, heavy furniture, warm lighting, and an atmosphere that feels more Manhattan than Taipei. Positioned on Zhonghua Road, it's a 5-minute walk from MRT Ximen and the pedestrian zone. Honest caveat: the 8.0 score sits below several hotels on this list — a handful of reviews note mild street noise in lower-floor rooms — but if you want a 4-star with a genuine personality in Ximending, this is the top pick.
- ✓ 4-star New York boutique design — rare character in this price range
- ✓ 5-minute walk to MRT Ximen and Ximending pedestrian zone
- ✓ Photogenic lobby, smooth check-in, attentive staff
- ✗ Score of 8.0 is the lowest 4-star in this list
- ✗ Lower-floor rooms face Zhonghua Rd. and pick up traffic noise
- ✗ Pricier than Green World Hotel at the same star rating
