The Sheraton Grand Taipei Hotel combines modern elite hospitality with a concern for halal guests. Staff are trained on the expectations of Muslim guests and requests and information on prayer, food and privacy can all be explained at great length. The staff can provide your prayer mats, prayer directions, timetables and even Qurans. These little additions can complete your hotel experience and make you feel truly cared for, without forgoing your faith.
Muslim women are often forced to adapt to the amenities present, often forgoing experiences because things have not been made suitable for them. However, the Sheraton provides a female-only spa which is a thoughtful inclusion that safeguards both Muslim and non-muslims’ modesty. Furthermore, female attendants can be assigned to rooms.
This particular Sheraton’s primary concern is the comfort of business individuals hence there is no discotheque and gambling resort, this, in turn, is an ideal atmosphere for Muslims individuals who do not want to deal with the extra commotion. The hotel prioritizes concise service with no extra extravagance but a standard of great modernity and class.
