# Spending your layover inside Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport

The only hotel the airport lists, the Hyatt Regency, is past immigration, one Airport MRT stop beyond Terminal 2. Connecting passengers can rest in Plaza Premium's lounge in Terminal 2, from NT$1,500, with private suites to book, but it's closed from midnight to 5am, so a night's sleep means entering Taiwan.

## Can you sleep at Taipei airport during a layover?

Not in a hotel past security: the only hotel the airport lists is outside the terminals. Plaza Premium's lounge in Terminal 2, past security, is open 5am to midnight, from NT$1,500 (seen November 2026), and has private resting suites with a bed to book. For a bed through the night, you pass immigration and stay at the Hyatt Regency Taoyuan International Airport, at Airport Hotel station (A14a), one stop beyond Terminal 2 and free to reach on the Airport MRT. Both terminals have shower rooms, some open 24 hours, and lockers from NT$40 for 3 hours.

## Hotels in and next to the terminals

The one hotel Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) lists for transit passengers is the Hyatt Regency, a stop down the Airport MRT rather than in a terminal, so you pass immigration and need permission to [enter Taiwan](https://taipeilayover.com/visa-and-transit/) to use it.

| Hotel | Where | Airside or landside | How you get there |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Hyatt Regency Taoyuan International Airport | Airport Hotel station (A14a) | Landside | Airport MRT commuter train, about 6 minutes from Terminal 2; free from either terminal |

The ride between Terminal 1 (A12), Terminal 2 (A13) and Airport Hotel station (A14a) is free with a contactless card, phone or EasyCard: tap in and out as usual. Only commuter trains stop at A14a, not the express. The trains run from about 6am until late evening; after the last one, take a taxi from the rank, about five minutes' drive. Prices, check-in times and day rates aren't published for layover stays, so check when you book.

## Day rooms

Past security, the only rooms are Plaza Premium's **private resting suites** in Terminal 2, with a bed and their own toilet. You book one as part of a lounge visit; the price shows when you choose it. The lounge is open from 5am to midnight, so a suite won't cover the small hours.

| Option | Where | Hours | From |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Plaza Premium resting suite | Terminal 2, Zone A, 4th floor, past security | 5am to midnight | Priced when you book |
| Hyatt Regency, by day | Airport Hotel station (A14a), landside | Ask the hotel | Ask the hotel |

## Lounges you can pay for

| Lounge | Terminal | Hours | From |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Plaza Premium Lounge The Terroir | Terminal 2, Zone A, 4th floor departures, past security | 5am to midnight | NT$1,500 (seen November 2026) |

To get in you must already be checked in for your next flight, with its boarding pass. If you land at Terminal 1, take the Skytrain inside security to Terminal 2. The lounge serves food from live-cooking counters, has free Wi-Fi and workstations, and showers that may cost extra. It's closed from midnight to 5am, so it's no help in the small hours.

## Showers

Both terminals have shower rooms with hot water:

- **Terminal 1**: in the arrivals area, open 24 hours.
- **Terminal 2**: on the first floor of the arrivals hall, open 24 hours; on the fourth floor of the departures level, at least one of them open 24 hours; on the third floor, 8am to 5pm; and on the fifth floor, outside the controlled area, 8am to 8pm.

The airport doesn't mark which of them are past security, so ask at the transfer counter or an information desk. Plaza Premium's lounge has showers too, which may cost extra.

## Left luggage

Both terminals have lockers and a staffed left-luggage counter. Carry some cash: the lockers take New Taiwan dollars or an EasyCard, not a bank card.

| | Price | Good to know |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Smart lockers | Small NT$40, medium NT$60, large NT$80, for each 3 hours | Cash or EasyCard |
| Pelican Express counters | By size and weight; from day 2, NT$160 (small) to NT$360 (extra-large) a day | Open 24 hours; paid in NT$ when you collect |

At the counters, anything under 3 hours is charged as 3 hours, and a day is rounded up to 24 hours; each piece can be up to 300cm in length, width and height added together, 200cm on its longest side and 40kg. The free half-day tours don't take large luggage on the bus, so leave cases here first.

## Connections, money and Wi-Fi

- **Wi-Fi**: free in the terminals' public areas, on the network "Airport Free WiFi".
- **SIM cards**: Chunghwa Telecom's counters at the airport sell prepaid tourist SIMs, from NT$300 for 3 days of 4G (cash only) or NT$500 for 3 days of 5G (seen November 2026). For a layover of a day, the free Wi-Fi and an eSIM set up before you fly are simpler.
- **Money**: Terminal 1 has a currency exchange counter open 24 hours, in the first-floor arrivals area. Carry a little cash in New Taiwan dollars (NT$) for lockers, buses and street food; the trains take contactless cards.
- **EasyCard**: Taiwan's transit card, from machines in both terminals, NT$100 plus whatever you load. It pays for the lockers, buses and many shops as well as the trains.
