History 
Regent Taipei was conceptualised in 1973 by Formosa International Hotels founder, S.R. Pan, upon the need for a luxury hotel in Taipei. This was later realised in 1984 when Y.H. Chen of Tuntex Group cooperated with Pan to build this hotel. An agreement with Regent International Hotels was signed the same year to manage the hotel. The hotel opened in 1990 as The Regent Taipei. In 2011, the hotel name was reverted to Regent Taipei after being titled Grand Formosa Regent for 17 years.

The hotel is home to Azie Grand Cafe, one of the eight restaurants housed within Regent Taipei. The restaurant is known for its beef noodles which was claimed to be one of the best by the Taipei Beef Noodle Festival as well as CNN Travel in 2015.
