Entry Description

The Grand Cosmos Resort is the first and the only two “Excellent Five Star Hotel” certified by Taiwan's Tourism Bureau. It is a tourist hotel, resort villa, hot spring hotel, and water park into an entity. It embraces the grandeur of Southern European manor architecture, with steeply pitched roofs, towering spires, gables, ornate dormer windows, and chimneys. Since it is in an active seismic zone, careful selections of materials ensure that the resort can effectively reduce the load and withstand earthquakes. It emphasizes the planting of native tree species and is resort-wide barrier-free.
