Four Points by Sheraton Linkou
An infinity pool on New Taipei's coolest plateau
About this hotel
Four Points by Sheraton Linkou pairs an infinity swimming pool with a sauna, fitness centre and free bicycles, a fuller wellness package than the shared health-club spa pools found in denser New Taipei districts. Rooms feature air conditioning, private bathrooms, city or inner courtyard views and modern amenities including tea and coffee makers and free WiFi. An outdoor fireplace, steam room and children's playground round out the facilities, alongside a family-friendly restaurant serving Chinese and international cuisine with continental, American, buffet, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and Asian breakfast options. Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport sits roughly 16 kilometers away, with Nanya Night Market nearby for an easy evening out after a day at the pool.

Our take
This suits travelers combining a stay with a Taoyuan flight who still want a genuine infinity pool and sauna rather than a plain airport hotel room. Linkou's cooler, drier plateau air makes the outdoor fireplace and heated pool more valuable here than in New Taipei's warmer river districts. Travelers chasing Old Street charm or historic atmosphere should look toward Sanxia or Tamsui instead of Linkou's newer, more planned streets.
- ✓Pack a light layer even in summer, since Linkou's plateau air runs cooler than the Taipei basin
- ✓Use the hotel's free bicycles to explore the district's wide, planned streets between pool sessions
- ✓Check the New Taipei Stadium schedule before booking; a game night changes the district's evening mood
Why we love it
- Infinity swimming pool paired with a sauna and fitness centre
- Free bicycles for exploring Linkou's wide, planned streets
- Outdoor fireplace and steam room for cooler plateau evenings
- 16 km from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport
Why guests love itTravelers staying here before an early Taoyuan flight often use the infinity pool the evening before, appreciating how much cooler the plateau air feels compared with a swim down by the river districts. The free bicycles are worth using at least once, since Linkou's wide, planned streets are easier to cover by bike than on foot. It leans more corporate and functional than a historic district hotel, which suits travelers prioritizing facilities and airport convenience over Old Street atmosphere.
