The Ambassador Hotel

What The Ambassador Hotel does

The Ambassador Hotel Co. Ltd. (TAIEX: 2704 TT) is a Taiwan-based hospitality operator incorporated in 1962 and listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since 1982. The company runs three five-star hotels in Taiwan's principal commercial centers — Taipei (opened 1964 as the country's first privately-owned five-star tourist hotel), Hsinchu (opened 2001, the only five-star property in the city center, positioned for Hsinchu Science Park corporate demand), and Kaohsiung (opened 1981, located on the Love River in Cianjin District) — and is a member of the Worldhotels Deluxe Collection. The Taipei property is undergoing a multi-year renovation from 2022 to 2028, with restaurant operations continuing at a reduced footprint on the 2nd floor of the Liaoning Street address.

Revenue is generated through four streams: hotel accommodations across the three properties; restaurant operations spanning A CUT STEAKHOUSE, Ambassador Chinese Cuisine (Sichuan and Cantonese), ahmicafé, Corner Bakery 63, and the Tianmu Sichuan and Tianmu Chinese restaurants; events and celebrations including meetings, weddings, and banquets; and a direct-to-consumer gourmet gift e-commerce shop (shop.ambassador-hotels.com) selling signature pineapple cakes, nougat, XO chili sauce, and premium oolong tea. Distribution is hybrid: direct via the company website and phone reservations, self-serve via the Synxis booking engine and TableCheck restaurant platform, and through the Worldhotels international referral network and a Tokyu Hotels Japan cross-promotion partnership. The contemporary amba Hotels & Resorts sub-brand, launched in 2012, extends the group into a design-oriented lifestyle segment distinct from the core luxury positioning.
