[2025 Chiayi County Stay] Travel Guide for Hotel Indigo Alishan (Updated May)

#Sunrise The overall atmosphere of Hotel Indigo Alishan is to create a secluded atmosphere in the mountains. As soon as you arrive, you can smell the faint fragrance of the forest and the sounds of insects and birds. It really feels like a new world after a dark tunnel. The staff are all smiling and very polite. After all, the location is still some distance away from the Alishan Forest, so the forest atmosphere needs to be enhanced. The hotel is about 45 minutes’ drive from Alishan Forest Recreation Area. The public areas are designed with bamboo forest as the theme, with decorations in the shape of Taiwan blue magpies and various totemic aboriginal elements. There is a faint fragrance in the corridors of the room, and the carpets are all emerald green, filled with the breath of nature. The outdoor balcony has lazy chairs and side tables where you can make tea and sit down to enjoy the view. There is a hot tub and a small infinity pool on the top floor. If you want to watch the sunrise but the room terrace is not facing the sun, you can watch it by the pool. The view of the mountains is very spectacular.

It is located on the Alishan Highway, and there are no special attractions near the Hotel. The internal equipment is very novel, tidy and clean. There is an underground parking lot. The lobby on the first floor is small. The passage from the lobby to the elevator has special design services The staff is friendly. There is a hot spring pool on the top floor. There is a small swimming pool and a small bar. You can watch the stars at night. You can see the sunrise in the morning. We booked the room with bathtub. Most of the rooms face the mountains. Overall, the facilities and staff of the hotel are very good, but the room rate and meal cost are high. I feel that spending so much money to stay here for one night is not worth it. #mytripvlog

This time, I came to Hotel Indigo Alishan, planning to enjoy a relaxing three-day, two-night vacation. It was truly an unforgettable experience! As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I was captivated by the surrounding natural beauty. The hotel is nestled in the embrace of Alishan, surrounded by towering trees and magnificent mountain views, making you feel as if you are in a paradise. The lobby design combines modernity with local culture, allowing me to feel the strong local atmosphere as soon as I entered.

5 hours drive from Taipei!? There are probably only two star-rated hotels in Alishan, Indigo is the only choice when it comes to cleanliness The evening dinner buffet was also very satisfying with plenty of alcohol and snacks. I don't want to come again, but it was a good memory. 5 hours drive, 1 day rest at the hotel, 5 hours again. In the end, I was left with tiredness and memories. #Alishan #FreeTabi #Outdoor2024
