Rank 1. Moonrock
Cocktail Bar
The interior looks like a Taiwanese tea house, all dark wood and trailing greenery, until you read the cocktail list and realize blue cheese has somehow ended up in a tequila drink. This intimate cocktail bar in Tainan keeps its menu short and its combinations strange, in the best way. It landed on Asia's 50 Best Bars, which tells you the ambition behind that unassuming alley entrance is not accidental.

Vinyl turntables come standard in every room at this boutique hotel, which should tell you something about the crowd it's after. Housed in a corner building that's been around forever in old Tainan, the renovation leaned into dark wood, antique copper, and terrazzo bathrooms rather than away from them. Upper-floor south-facing rooms look directly onto Chihkan Tower. History and a proper bed, in one package.

A hostel-hotel hybrid in Tainan's older quarters, U.I.J puts a Crosley turntable and a curated vinyl stack in the private rooms while the bunk beds come fitted with wide canvas berths. BBBooks, a 24-hour library lounge, and an open kitchen for guests who've been to the market next door round out the communal floor. The rooftop faces west. Old temples and narrow lanes are close enough to explore on foot and still make it back before the record ends.

Pink ceilings and teal subway tile give the rooms more personality than the business-hotel category usually promises. Just Sleep Tainan Hushan is a mid-range hotel sitting right beside Ten Drum Sugar Cultural Creative Park and the Chimei Museum, with the High Speed Rail station close enough that getting in or out is painless. Charcoal walls and blonde wood keep things grounded while families and highway commuters share the lobby in comfortable coexistence.
