Formosan Naruwan Hotel (Taitung City, Taiwan)

Naruwan is a greeting word which means “How are you?” and “Welcome!” in Taiwan aboriginal language, just like “Aloha” in Hawaii. Naming the hotel ‘Formosan Naruwan Hotel Taitung’, we greet all guests with the highest passion. Taitung as the native town of the sun makes sunshine our greatest asset. At the initial concept of designation, we took a ladder-shaped design and used a large amount of glass to take in the brilliant sunshine and scenery; hence the similar pyramid building becomes a new landmark in Taitung. Containing modern fashion and aboriginal culture, Formosan Naruwan Hotel Taitung is a genuine artwork. The four pillars in front of the facade are 9 meters high and the material is sandstone from Shanshi Province of mainland China. On the pillars, it tells the history of Taiwan aboriginal tribes, Lu-Kai, Dao, Puyuma and Amis.
