Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels at TPE Airport

  Overnight layover guide: sleeping options in the public area and the boarding area

Spending the night at the airport

Taipei Airport is one of the best in Asia for spending the night: it is open 24 hours, has abundant comfortable seating, convenience stores and nighttime restaurants, free showers, indoor gardens, and themed rest areas. If you have an early flight or a long layover, it is a very viable option without the need to go outside.

Where to rest: There are reclining chairs next to several boarding gates, especially in the B7 area of Terminal 1. Terminal 1 has more reclining seat options than Terminal 2, where comfortable seats sell out earlier. Also look for the themed rest areas (Hello Kitty, indoor gardens) that offer more isolated and quieter seating. The Plaza Premium Lounge (Zone D) in Terminal 1 is the only VIP lounge with 24-hour operation — useful for those seeking greater comfort with included shower. For accommodation, CHO Stay Capsule Hotel (5th floor T2, public side) and Plaza Premium Transit Hotel (T2 airside) offer private hourly rooms without needing to leave the airport.

Luggage: 24-hour luggage storage available in both terminals (automatic lockers and staffed offices). Rates: NT$40-80 for 3 hours; NT$320-640 for 24 hours depending on size.

Food and drinks: There are 24-hour dining options in both terminals — the 7-Eleven on level B1 of T1 and the 7-Eleven and Family Mart on the 5th floor of T2 operate without interruption. In T2 there are also restaurants with nighttime service. In T1, the nighttime offering is mainly limited to convenience stores and vending machines.

Restrooms: Free showers available in several locations in both terminals. Towels are not provided — it is advisable to bring your own. Check updated locations at taoyuan-airport.com/showers.

Wi-Fi: Free throughout the airport — connect to the Airport Free WiFi network.

Other 24-hour services: Currency exchange offices, ATMs (Bank of Taiwan with no fee for international cards, near the MRT), convenience stores, baby care rooms, children's entertainment areas. Drinking water and bottle refill stations are available next to the restrooms in the departures area.

 Hotels

Inside the airport there are two accommodation options: CHO Stay Capsule Hotel, in the public area on the fifth floor of Terminal 2 (accessible without passing through security controls), ideal for long layovers with early departures; and Plaza Premium Transit Hotel, located inside the Terminal 2 boarding area (airside), which offers private rooms with bed and bathroom for transit passengers without needing to leave the departures area.

The official airport hotel is the Hyatt Regency Taoyuan International Airport (formerly Novotel, rebranded in January 2025), located on the airport grounds about 2 km from the terminals (~5 minutes by car). It has 476 rooms, an indoor pool, spa, gym, and restaurants. It has its own Airport MRT stop (station A14a Airport Hotel). The free shuttle to the airport operates from 4:00 am to 11:30 pm with departures every 30 minutes (T1 stop 8, T2 stop 7). In the arrivals halls there are counters for reservations at nearby hotels.
