Controversies

In August 2018, prior to its opening, the hotel became involved in a public controversy when the Marriott International website listed its location as "Taiwan, China" and displayed the flag of the People's Republic of China. The designation prompted criticism in Taiwan and was found to potentially violate the country's tourism regulations.[3][4][5]

The hotel issued a statement explaining that its online materials were managed directly by Marriott headquarters and followed the company's global branding system. It noted that the issue had been reported to the corporate office and that adjustments to the Wi-Fi login interface had been made to remove the controversial wording.[6]
