PAPO’A LABS: A Breathing Poem of the City
We were born on this land, raised in this city.
Our founder studied and started his first venture in Tainan—drawing inspiration from humble alleyways and learning humility from weathered city walls. With gratitude and courage, we have returned to the place where the dream began. Through the form of hospitality, we say to Tainan: “We are home.”
More Than a Hotel—A Way of Living in Tainan
PAPO’A LABS may look like just a hotel, but its soul is closer to a “breathing anthology of poetry.”
Through design, we converse with old buildings; through service, we pass along the warmth of human connection; through stories, we weave the memory of the city into your journey.
Here, you are not a passerby, but a temporary neighbor of this ancient city. Perhaps around a corner, you’ll encounter the familiar fragrance beneath the arcades; perhaps at the breakfast table, you’ll be served not only food, but also the proud rhythm of life that belongs to old Tainan.
Rooted in Tainan, With a Heart Set on the World
We believe that passion makes places visible, and stories memorable.
PAPO’A LABS chose to take root in Tainan not for romance, but because we know—when the soul of a city is preserved with care, it can walk confidently onto the global stage.
That is why what we want travelers to feel is not just “a stay,” but an experience of resonating with the heartbeat of Tainan.
A Touch of Humor—Because Travel Should Be Easy
Don’t worry—we are not an archaeological museum, nor a library.
We will make your bed with great care, but we might also slip a little note by your bedside reminding you to “take one more look at tonight’s stars.” We can lead you through centuries of culture, but even more so, we hope you leave with a smile, saying: “I’ve never experienced Tainan quite like this.”

We look forward to meeting you,
and writing your next beautiful chapter,
between tradition and innovation.
