Tainan is the birthplace of Taiwan and the oldest city on the island. It is known as the country’s cradle of culture and heritage. It attracts many Taiwanese, but also foreign tourists visit the city for a short holiday. On top of its rich history, modern Tainan is developing as a central city in the knowledge-based economy, bringing in guest scientists for long-stay business trips. The new Hotel The Place in Tainan is part of a new mixed-use complex which consists of a shopping mall, cinema and offices. The 223 room hotel aims to attract young people, families as well as businessmen. The interior concept is based on the idea of getting guests in touch with the old city of Tainan, while staying in a modern and comfortable place. Historic references are added in a well-designed and sophisticated way, and contrast beautifully with the hotel’s sleek and contemporary environment.
