Crowne Plaza Tainan by IHG
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Crowne Plaza Tainan is worth booking if you want a five-star with a rich breakfast and attentive staff at a price that is still modest by international standards. Skip it if you want to walk to the old sights, or if a bathroom with limited privacy would bother you.

This is the Luxury pick in our Tainan trio. It suits couples, families and business travellers who value service and facilities over a walkable old-town address. The property lists a gym, a pool, a restaurant, family rooms, a terrace, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and the listing tags a spa.
Travellers on a tight budget will find far cheaper well-rated options in the city. Anyone sharing a room with someone they want more privacy from should read the bathroom comments below.
Location and getting around
The address is No. 289, Zhouping Road. The location score is 8.8 out of 10.
The sights listed are not close. Distances are straight-line estimates: Fort Provintia is about 5.5 km away, roughly 69 minutes on foot, and the Chimei Museum is about 10.7 km, roughly 134 minutes. Both are far, so you will need public transport or a taxi.
What guests say
The guest score is 9.1 out of 10 from 1,154 reviews, joint second of 15 eligible properties in the provider sample.
Staff come up first. Guests describe a friendly, professional team that is helpful and attentive. Breakfast is the other highlight: a rich buffet with local specialities, beef soup among them. It is listed as continental, vegetarian, Asian, American and buffet.
The bathrooms divide opinion. Guests mention large bathtubs and strong water pressure, but some note privacy and noise issues.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) were about €111.71 a night. The sample median was €70.14, so this costs well above the typical hotel in Tainan. These are not live quotes; check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, 嵐茵商旅, was about €19.23 a night with an 8.1 score and three stars. Our Best Value pick, 天下南隅 Provintia Hotel, was about €44.23 a night with a 9.2 score and four stars. Be clear about the trade: the Best Value option scores slightly higher for less than half the price. What you pay extra for here is the five-star grade and its facilities.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 15 eligible hotels in Tainan. For the Luxury slot, five-star hotels are prioritised, and the Crowne Plaza holds an official five-star rating. Its 9.1 score from more than 1,100 reviews confirmed the choice.
It is not the cheapest way to sleep well in Tainan, and it was not picked for that.
