guest — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:47:40 +0000

Hotel dua is opened in 2012, one of very few boutique hotel in Kaohsiung. “dùa” is pronounced the same as “living” in Luohe dialect. While sincerely inviting you to stay here in this hotel, we invite you to experience with us the enthusiasm of local Kaohsiung people.

Hotel dùa is conceptualized with regional context in mind. With a backdrop restricted to limited material palette, the primary design intent is to provide the interior with a sense of serenity; a sanctuary for weary travelers. With that setting the tone, rest of the interior was complimenting it and in the process reflecting elements of local culture.

Nestled in the heart of Sinsing District, Hotel Dua is an ideal spot from which to discover Kaohsiung. From here, guests can enjoy easy access to all that the lively city has to offer. For those of you who want to venture out, Liouhe Tourist Night Market, Central Park Underground Train Station, Sinyi Elementary School Underground Train Station are just some of the attractions available to visitors.
