Chateau de Chine Kaohsiung: Blending Historical Charm and Modern Art in Yancheng

Chateau de Chine Kaohsiung is situated in the historically rich Yancheng District and is one of the representative properties of the L'Hotel de Chine Group in Southern Taiwan. It is not only an international hotel offering exquisite service but also a bridge connecting Kaohsiung’s old city memories with contemporary arts and culture. For travelers seeking to deeply explore the historical texture of Kaohsiung while enjoying a modern, comfortable stay, Chateau de Chine is an excellent choice.

The hotel's predecessor was the "China Trust Hotel," which opened in 1984. It served as a landmark hotel in the Yancheng District for many years, witnessing the rise and fall of commerce and tourism along Kaohsiung Harbor. This building reflects the past glory of the Yancheng District as the former commercial center of Kaohsiung. In 2011, following a significant investment in renovation and brand upgrade by the L'Hotel de Chine Group, the hotel underwent a comprehensive eight-month refurbishment, transforming the old property into an international boutique hotel and officially relaunching as "Chateau de Chine Kaohsiung." The hotel stands 11 stories tall and features 152 guest rooms and suites.

The hotel’s exterior was designed by renowned Japanese architect Itaru Yamane. The facade utilizes transparent glass windows paired with staggered, elongated light tubes, appearing like a glittering star tower when illuminated at night, symbolizing the injection of modern technology and vitality into the old neighborhood. The overall design boldly merges classical elegance with modern lines, centered on the theme of "New Retro, Old Modernity." Within the contemporary glass curtain wall structure, nostalgic elements of the old Yancheng area—such as retro general stores, displays of antique objects, and the traditional atmosphere of a harbor tea house—are subtly incorporated. This allows guests to feel Kaohsiung's history and local culture even within the comfortable accommodation environment. The structural essence of the old building has been preserved, while a highly designed atmosphere has been infused, making the hotel itself feel like a fine piece of art that perfectly complements the surrounding Pier-2 Art Center and Love River landscape.

The hotel offers diverse and high-quality public spaces, emphasizing a balance between business and leisure:
