JR East Hotel Japanese-style plus three golden keys of exquisite service

Nov 28, 2021

This is the first hotel JR East has deployed overseas. The 20-year contract actually represents the ambition of the group itself, and the selection of the first overseas base in Taiwan also represents the gratitude to Taiwanese friends since the 311 earthquake, and this hotel The building is very familiar to everyone. It is the Leofoo Palace Westin, which used to belong to the Marriott Group. As for the overall hardware, because it has to reach the standard of WESTIN, the selection of hardware materials will not be too bad, plus their service. It can be said that among the hotels I have stayed in in the recent year, the service is the most meticulous, because many hotels have made great adjustments in manpower due to the epidemic, but what I saw in JR is that they Prepare for future placement of manpower and finesse of execution.

Conveniently located in Nanjing Fuxing Station, with double MRT, near Songshan Airport
This time, I stayed in a room on the executive floor and used the service of the executive lounge. The executive floor room is located on the 12th-14th floor.
This time there is also a dining room, and the meal is another area that amazes me. It is strongly recommended that everyone have a set with a meal. Here, we specially record the two periods of dinner and breakfast. It must be said that they know what they can do with them. No, so I really appreciate the model they offer, which is a large number of chef-made meals that stay fresh and reduce unnecessary meal waste. They are not looking for variety, but provide a more refined diet, and because of this, it is strongly recommended to eat at least their breakfast at home
There are seven sprinkler heads in the room, which should be left over from the original WESTIN requirements. Most of the hard fittings still use the original WESTIN leftovers.
There is a new air-conditioning system on the executive floor. The temperature control is quite accurate. There is heating in winter. After testing, it can be adjusted to 25-26. No problem (I did not adjust it up)
Mattress Using Serta Mattress' PERFECT SLEEPER is an American Sleep Science Association certified mattress
CLARINS series of products used in bath accessories
Only one side of the bedside has a USB charging hole on the phone, you will find it after a little searching, because the plugs are all using the original WESTIN equipment
I had the opportunity to chat with the hotel side for a day. The hotel hardware itself is a little old, and the management is actively dealing with equipment problems. This time I didn't encounter hardware or equipment problems. Except for the water pressure ratio Other hotels are small (but acceptable range)
Service really depends on the stacking of service personnel to shape it
When you got off the elevator and walked out of the door, someone will send it to the door and give a brief greeting. When you come back again, you will be greeted by DOOR MAN and help to open the door early.
And DOOR MAN saw that we were interested in sculpture, so he explained to us directly that the sculpture at the entrance represents the mountains and rivers of Taiwan, and it is a special design for the hotel to attract guests.
Provide umbrellas when it rains
When the water provided outside is delivered, it is packed in paper bags instead of hand-delivered for the convenience of guests.
When the elevator encounters the service staff leaving the floor, the service staff will walk out of the elevator and wait for us to close the door and greet us
There are only twenty-two concierge staff with golden keys in Taiwan, and JR East currently has three.
In addition to collecting the dishes, the service staff in the restaurant took extra rags and tidy up the table at any time.
Indoor heated swimming pool
The executive lounge should be restored in the Taipei Hotel and provide a relatively complete configuration. In general, ice cream and sparkling water are provided.
At present, the banquet hall on the third basement floor is still closed. Under the current contract, Cathay Pacific, the owner of the building, will find another manufacturer to rent it.

Because of the rain, the umbrellas are ready and can be borrowed by hotel guests. There are special arrangements for the placement of the umbrellas. For the convenience of guests, the handles are facing outwards.

The flower decorations in the hall will be changed regularly

This is a decorative panel that is replaced together in the whole hotel. I think it is very textured.

Room overview

This time I chose a double bed room (because of special needs, so the hotel has already asked the hotel to put two chairs)

bed and headboard

There is a cordless phone by the bed and a small reading light

This time, I still have a request from the hotel, and I have a special request for a memory pillow from them.

The painting at the head of the bed is a representative photography of Taiwan imagery.

I checked this series and it is quite special. It uses Serta mattresses from the United States. They jointly developed the new Perfect Sleeper series with the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), which is the first mattress officially certified by NSF. , The new series of designs are imported into the research of NSF. The unique technology of each Perfect Sleeper mattress not only solves one sleep problem, but also solves five common sleep problems.

Back pain due to lack of support, feeling too hot or too cold during sleep, disturbed sleep by a sleeping partner, mattress rolling or falling

Executive Lounge (regular hours)

This is the standard configuration. It is quite generous. It is rare in the hotel industry in Taipei.

Executive Lounge: HAPPY HOUR in the evening

Drink, don't drive, don't drink, don't drink under the age of 18

The choice of these two sakes must be said, I really understand the taste of Taiwanese people, because they are not spicy, very good to drink in the throat, do not drive, do not drink, do not drink under the age of 18

I ate it all at the end, because it was really delicious

It is particularly worth mentioning that among the 22 golden keys that are very rare in Taiwan, there are three in JR East.

Borian Buffet Restaurant: Dinner

The chefs provide freshly made meals on site. I really must say that this is really sincere, because many cafeterias cut very little manpower for cost. There are more than ten chefs on the scene here. Each dish is served, and samples are provided for your reference, and in order to allow everyone to eat more varieties, each dish is provided in small bowls, so that everyone can eat a variety of flavors

Beverage bars and draft beer, no driving, no driving, no drinking

Great selection of seafood sashimi and really fresh

This shrimp is fresh, very solid and elastic.

This is the first dish I took with milk tea

The plan we ordered has the chef's selected main meal, which is the appetizer of Jiu Kong Bao

The steak is fried to order, using American CHOICE grade meat

Haagen-Dazs ice cream is also helped by the service staff to dig it out, and it will not be exhausted.

Borrian's Cafeteria: Breakfast

For the breakfast part, it must be said that because of the Japanese relationship, many basic Japanese meals will be available, such as natto and miso soup. It must be said that the breakfast is also above the standard. There are also many western-style smoked salmon, and some CHOICE steaks for dinner also appear in breakfast again, and some steamed snacks are very careful. I personally recommend their breakfast.
