According to UDN, The Landis Taipei's H1 revenue rose 15.2% to NT$252 million, with lodging and dining each contributing about half of sales, led by Tian Hsiang Lou at roughly 60% of restaurant revenue.
How did The Landis Taipei perform in the first half of the year?
The Landis Taipei (台北亞都麗緻飯店) posted first-half revenue of NT$252 million, up 15.2% year-on-year, according to a UDN report dated July 14, 2026. The same figures — NT$252 million in revenue and 15.2% growth — were independently confirmed in a CTS report published the same day, which also noted that "lodging and dining were both strong, splitting roughly half of the total" between the two business lines.
What share of revenue does the dining business contribute?
Within the hotel's three in-house restaurants, Tian Hsiang Lou (天香樓) — which includes banquet-hall operations — was the single largest contributor, accounting for about 60% of restaurant revenue. This figure appeared identically in both the UDN report and the CTS report, indicating the banquet function is the primary driver behind the dining segment's scale.
How did the restaurant brands perform last year?
La Brasserie (巴賽麗廳), the hotel's French restaurant, saw revenue grow 30% last year, a gain both UDN and CTS attributed to "buoyant dining demand" amid a broader favorable economic environment. The consistency of this figure across both outlets suggests the 30% growth rate reflects the restaurant's actual prior-year performance rather than a one-off estimate.
How will La Brasserie's new menu support further growth?
Building on that momentum, La Brasserie is set to launch a new menu starting on the 16th, according to UDN, with the offering focused on regional French cuisine from different areas of the country. The timing follows directly from the restaurant's reported 30% revenue growth the prior year, positioning the menu refresh as a follow-through on an already-strengthening restaurant rather than a stand-alone initiative.
What is management's outlook for Q4 and full-year 2025 results?
Hsu Yi-ning (徐宜寧), general manager of Landis Hotels & Resorts (麗緻餐旅集團), said 2025 marked a year of steady post-pandemic recovery and renewed growth momentum for the group, with revenue hitting its highest level since before the pandemic, and growth continuing into the first half of this year, according to UDN. Separately, CTS reported that the company is optimistic about operating momentum in the fourth quarter, citing seasonal effects such as Christmas and corporate year-end banquet gatherings as expected demand drivers.

What this means
The figures reported by both UDN and CTS point to a dining business that is not a side note to the hotel's lodging operations but a co-equal revenue engine, with Tian Hsiang Lou's banquet-driven 60% share explaining much of the segment's weight. La Brasserie's reported 30% growth last year, combined with its new menu launching on the 16th, indicates management is reinforcing a restaurant that was already expanding rather than attempting to revive a lagging one. Hsu's statement that 2025 revenue reached its highest level since the pandemic, paired with the company's stated optimism about Q4 seasonal demand from holiday and corporate banquet events, suggests the group is framing the back half of the year as a continuation of a recovery trend already visible in the 15.2% first-half growth figure.

Equivalent-capability AI inference prices have fallen roughly 10x per year across multiple benchmarks, with OpenAI's GPT-4o mini priced about 99% below its 2022 predecessor and DeepSeek-R1 undercutting OpenAI's o1 by roughly 27x. Yet Google now processes about 50 times more tokens monthly than a year earlier, and Gartner projects 2025 global generative-AI spending at $644 billion, up 76.4% — proof that cheaper tokens are fueling more total usage and spend, not less.
China's AI industry shows a split scorecard: on models, DeepSeek-V3's open-weight, MIT-licensed mixture-of-experts architecture and DeepSeek-R1's benchmark parity with OpenAI's o1 preceded a $593 billion single-day NVIDIA sell-off, while the widely cited $5.576 million cost figure covers only the final training run. On hardware, Huawei's Ascend 910C still delivers about 60% of NVIDIA H100's per-chip performance, and HBM supply constraints cap actual 2025 shipments far below estimated capacity, even as US export controls kept tightening through January 2026.
Facing a projected jump in global data center electricity demand from about 415 TWh in 2024 to about 945 TWh in 2030, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta have all signed nuclear power deals — but most rely on small modular reactors (SMRs) that won't deliver meaningful capacity until 2030 or later, and NuScale's 2023 project cancellation shows the economics are still unproven.
