Ambassador Hotel Menu

Old Photo of the original Grand Hotel circa 1960s.

Before the Chinese style gate was built, the original Japanese Tori from the Japanese Shrine still stood in it's place.
There are a couple of photos of it on the Aandahl Families Website.
Two Japanese Laterns can also been seen in the Aandahl photos.

View looking towards Taipei. The Chinese Gate is visable in the photo. It must have just been built.

Early 1970s after new Grand hotel was built

Grand Hotel Tennis courts (1960s?)

The photo's below are of the Grand Hotel in the 50s-70s. John Glenn stayed here in the 60s. (above)
