The recently opened Le Méridien Taipei is located in the most cosmopolitan district of Taipei – Xinyi District –and offers a gathering place for creative guests, with an emphasis on the arts, an inspiring atmosphere, and innovative cuisine.
Guests of Quube are invited to savor not only the delicious cocktails but also the unrivaled atmosphere. Keeping with Le Méridien brand’s emphasis on aesthetics and design, the décor of Quube is contemporary and chic, with elegant black and white motifs creating a distinctive style. What’s more is that Quube is one of the few bars in Taipei with an outdoor seating area, allowing guests to unwind and enjoy the night scene of Taipei five floors above the ground. For patrons who favor a more secluded environment away from the crowds, Quube makes available three separate VIP boxes, offering complete privacy and exclusivity.
While the ambiance is chic and enticing, the signature cocktails are what make Quube Taipei’s most popular new hotspot. Even the most discerning guests will savor Italian master mixologist Ernesto Lechthaler’s ingenious series of cocktails created exclusively for Quube. Each of Ernesto’s artisanal cocktails uses only one type of basic liquor coupled with a selection of all-natural elements, such as seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables and exotic spices, to create a modern and healthy cocktail. Influenced by Ernesto’s creativity, the innovative cocktails at Quube are expected to launch a trend of health-conscious cocktails in bars around the world.
