【Origin】
“Puppetry. A memory so far away yet so close to my heart.
Was it a memory from my childhood or stories passing down from the elders?
The colours of this memory could be fading,
yet it still plays in my mind vividly.”
Huwei Hotel is the only puppetry-themed hotel in Taiwan.
Carlton Chou, the founder of Huwei Hotel, was born in Huwei but left for work when he was young. He had a busy life for decades and was occupied by his business.
However, the memories of going to puppet shows with his family still plays in his head from time to time.
Under the chance, Carlton and his friends took over the former residence of Jun-Xiong Huang, who is the master of Puppetry,
devoting in the traditional puppetry culture that is gradually forgotten by the young generation.
Carlton re-establishes and combines the old architecture, old culture and new ideas,
hoping to bring a new vision to the travellers.
【About Huwei Hotel】
Huwei in the 1980s is like a bustling Taipei. At that time, the puppetry was popular in Taiwan and enriched Carlton’s childhood. Mr. Huang Junxiong’s former residence retains the architectural contour of the 1980s and the flourishing style of the 1990s. Carlton witnessed the completion of the building, yet he couldn’t stand seeing its dying recession, determined to rebirth it by the whole new "Huwei Hotel".
