The Far Eastern Plaza (Chinese: 遠企中心辦公大樓; pinyin: Yuǎn qǐ zhōngxīn bàngōng dàlóu) is a set of twin skyscrapers located in Daan District, Taipei, Taiwan. The buildings are each 165 m (541 ft) in height 41 floors above the ground. The towers, designed by the Taiwanese architect Chu-Yuan Lee and the P&T Group, were completed in 1994 and were among the earliest skyscrapers in Taipei.[1]

The south tower mainly contains offices whilst the north tower houses Shangri-La's Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, Taipei. [2] It is managed by the Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. It has a total of 420 rooms and is one of the top luxury hotels in Taipei. This is Shangri-La's only second base in Taiwan (the other building is Shangri-La's Far Eastern International Hotel, Tainan), which has won many awards. In recent years, it has won a medal from the Environmental Protection Administration for energy conservation and environmental protection. The Mall at Far Eastern Plaza opened in 1994 and currently houses the citysuper retail chain as well as Muji. [3]
