HOSHINOYA Guguan

Resting in an Art Museum Amidst the Sound of Running Water

On the outskirts of Taiwan's second-largest city Taichung, there is a hot spring resort surrounded by the central mountain range 3000m above sea level. In June 2019, Hoshino Resort opened Hoshinoya Guguan, the company's second resort outside of Japan. The resort is themed as a luxury hot spring resort. Visitors will be enchanted by the magnificent scenery that nature has created over time, truly mesmerizing. Once you reach the end of the long bamboo forest road, a modern structure appears. When entering the Hoshinoya Guguan, which values harmony with nature, large reception areas are decorated with paintings expressing nature, in contrast to the modern exterior. At the end of the library floats a tranquil water garden. As you stroll through such space reminiscent of an art museum in the woods, you will begin to forget about the fatigue of everyday life. In the midst of the scenery, we wish for uninterrupted relaxation, and prosperity by soaking in the hot springs.

There are five different room types. Sen can accommodate up to 7 guests and feature a wide terrace furnished with a dining table for al fresco dining amid a stunning mountain view. Yue, a maisonette suite with a premier outdoor bath area twice as large as in other rooms. Shan, single-level suite with outdoor bath ideal for the elderly or those traveling with small children. Feng, for true comfort and easy relaxation, perfect setting for a casual meal or conversation with friends or family. Shui, features picture windows overlooking the gorgeous mountain views. After a shower in the evening, relax on the fourth floor's special deck. Mountains spread out in the living room and bedroom through floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing you to see changing scenery over time.
