Areas that make sense
| Area | From the terminals | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Airport Hotel station (A14a) | One or two MRT stops; free between the terminals and A14a | Late arrivals, very early flights, layovers |
| Taoyuan HSR Station area (A18, Qingpu) | About 19 minutes by MRT | Onward high speed rail trips, outlet shopping, newer hotels |
| Zhongli | MRT to the end of the line, or a short taxi | Cheaper rooms and local food |
| Taipei Main Station (A1) | About 35 to 39 minutes by express MRT | City sightseeing plus in-town check-in on departure day |
The airport hotel
The hotel next to MRT station A14a reopened as the Hyatt Regency Taoyuan International Airport on January 1, 2025 (it was the Novotel Taipei Taoyuan International Airport) (One Mile at a Time). It is the closest full-service hotel to the terminals and is also the airport’s listed airport hotel.
Picking the right base
Departing early from Taipei? Check in your bags at in-town check-in the day of the flight and stay in the city. Heading south by HSR the next morning? Stay by A18. Landing after the last train? An airport hotel beats a taxi into Taipei.
