I am an intrepid traveller. Travelling has been my passion since school days. Hailing from the steel city of Rourkela in Odisha, I always had an opportunity to plan out my holidays with my family to exotic destinations that are rich in history and heritage in India. Looking back, I have also taken up trekking in Chauragarh hills of Pachmarhi, Shatrunjaya Hills of Palitana, Vaishno Devi or the Muktinath temple in Mustang Valley in Nepal and Lalang Waterfall in rainforests of Tioman Island in Malaysia. I have penned down the Odisha destinations in Pick2Move-India Travel planner brought out by Sampan Media Limited, New Delhi. I have compiled a travelogue themed- “Journeys across India” published by Best Books, Kolkata. I generally take up travel to pen down travelogues, know the art and craft of the faraway lands and of course, I do travel reporting for leading English dailies of India.

The Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei




 
A home away from home

It’s always a pleasure to surround yourself with all good things in life and while travelling to distant lands, we all look for luxury. A couple of years ago when I had made a dash of Taipei, I had a chance to halt at The Howard Plaza Hotel, the five-star luxury haunt that commands a strategic location. I headed straight from Taoyuan International Airport, around 40 minutes from Taipei City to The Howard Plaza Hotel.

For the well-heeled class, The Howard Plaza Hotel is the perfect luxury destination where you can let your hair down and party. For a first-time visitor like me, the hotel was a home away from home. Located on Renai Road, the luxury red brick haunt is only 3 km from Taipei 101 Observatory Tower and around 14 km from National Palace Museum.

Replete with luxury suites that have wooden furniture, Chinese antiques, all rooms are well illuminated and have free wi-fi facilities, tiny refrigerators coffee and tea makers and mini bars. The hotel has 8 restaurants and one can sample the treats including Continental delights and an astounding array of Asian platters including Chinese,Taiwanese and Japanese cuisine. One should not miss out on complimentary buffet breakfast in the restaurant.
