圓山大飯店是位於中華民國臺北市中山區劍潭山的地標性質中國風飯店，成立於第二次世界大戰後，早年為臺灣首屈一指的大型國際性飯店。目前所見的宮殿風格建築於1973年落成，是臺北市的著名地標之一。除了位於台北市的主館，圓山大飯店在高雄市設有分館。台北圓山大飯店已晉升為交通部觀光局評鑑之五星級飯店[1]。圓山大飯店的原址在日治時期曾是日本人建的臺灣神宮，由於地處的劍潭山山頭，突出於台北盆地之上，在風水學上地理位置極佳。飯店屋頂使用歇山式。飯店的建築上採用相當多的龍形雕刻，故有人稱此飯店為「龍宮」；除採用龍形之外，亦有石獅、梅花等中國建築常用的圖案。 逃生密道 2006年台北圓山飯店密道被媒體曝光後，飯店人員當時也詳加介紹，因蔣中正、蔣經國時代有很多國內外政務官要，都來此地享受國宴，因保護元首而在建造過程中增加此設計。圓山飯店總經理池漢乾指出，這兩條密道位於地下二樓，除了考量蔣中正的安全外，主要是當時圓山飯店出入的都是達官顯要，萬一發生空襲，貴賓可就近至地下二樓防空避難室躲避；若一旦發生威力更大的核彈空襲，即可迅速進入防空避難通道。這兩條密道往東可達北安公園，全長78米，在沿線裝有電燈照明設備，共有45個燈座，86個階梯；往西可抵圓山聯誼會劍潭公園，全長80米，75個階梯，內部蜿蜒曲折，一直到出口處可以見到兩扇長期深鎖的金屬門，打開後還會見到兩座高約5米的石牆遮蔽，外界根本看不出這是坑道出口。兩條密道皆為2.3米寬，2.1米高，造型有如螺旋式走道，一路向下盤旋，若不小心可能就會摔個大跤，寬度可容納二至三人同時並行。最特殊的是，西側的密道旁，還設計成約一人寬，以磨石子為底，類似溜滑梯的滑行道。飯店說法是，這種設計便於讓行動不便的人員使用。由於滑道兩端距離約20米，又是一路往下盤旋，看過的飯店人員戲稱，這大概是世界最長的「水泥溜滑梯」。

The Grand Hotel (Chinese: 圓山大飯店; pinyin: Yuánshān Dà Fàndiàn; literally: 'Yuanshan Great Hotel'), is a landmark located at Yuanshan (圓山) in Zhongshan District, Taipei, Taiwan. The hotel was established in May 1952 and the main building was completed on October 10, 1973. It is owned by the Duen-Mou Foundation of Taiwan, a non-profit organization, and has played host to many foreign dignitaries who have visited Taipei.The main building of the hotel is one of the world's tallest Chinese classical buildings[1] at 87 metres (285 ft) high.[2] It was also the tallest building in Taiwan from 1973 to 1981.] General features With its vermilion columns, the roof makes the hotel a visible showcase of Chinese architecture and culture. The hotel itself contains numerous objets d'art, wall panels, paintings, carvings, and significant restaurants. Dragon motifs are frequently intertwined throughout the various structures that make up the hotel, earning the hotel the name "The Dragon Palace". Besides dragons, lion and plum flower motifs also make a significant presence in the hotel. Each of the eight guest levels represents a different Chinese dynasty, as reflected through the murals and general decor. The hotel has a total of 490 rooms. The rooms facing south offer guests a panoramic view of Taipei City. The presidential suite, as the hotel claims, contains former President Chiang Kai-shek's desk and Madame Chiang's dressing table. Currently the presidential suite costs NT$160,000 per night (Approx. US$4,850). Budget rooms are available from ca. $99 per night.[3] The hotel also features auditoriums and meeting rooms, making it a popular venue for conventions and conferences in Taiwan. Secret passages Ever since the opening of the hotel, rumour had it that secret passages ran from the hotel to the nearby Shilin Official Residence and farther out to the Presidential Office Building for Chiang's convenience.[4] The truth was uncovered after the 1995 fire as part of the safety commission that was conducted. The secret passages were revealed to be two air-raid tunnels, each of them 180 m in length leading to nearby parks, not to the presidential residence or the emergency headquarters as rumours had suggested. The western passage is equipped with a slide for the disabled as an alternative to the spiraling stairs. The exits are obscured by concrete walls, thus escaping public detection for decades. The tunnels have a maximum capacity of about 10,000 people. As of 2005 the tunnels were closed to the public except for special events, when hotel officials invite the press and public inside the tunnels for a tour.
