Hotel Proverbs Taipei
Taipei, Taiwan · Independent · Accessible Luxury
Architect Ray Chen named Hotel Proverbs for Goya's Los Proverbios etchings and wrapped 42 rooms in a dark mesh facade in Taipei's Da'an District, opening in 2015. Each room hides a proverb in the artwork that only evening light reveals; unpolished copper in the corridors is meant to take a memory of every passing guest.

History
Hotel Proverbs Taipei opened in 2015 in the Da'an District of Taipei, a design-led boutique hotel of 42 rooms. Both the architecture and interiors are the work of the noted architect Ray Chen, who wrapped the industrial, postmodern structure in a dark patchwork mesh facade and secured it green-building certification.
The hotel's aesthetic draws on Francisco Goya's nineteenth-century print series "Proverbios," using copper, wood, leather and stone throughout. A member of Design Hotels and bookable through Marriott Bonvoy, it features a rooftop pool, the restaurant L'Idiot and an award-winning bar.
