No.9 Hot Spring Hotel

Opened at the end of 2014, No.9 Hot Spring Hotel is located in the tourist pedestrian zone of Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County, just a five-minute walk from the train station and close to downtown Jiaoxi. The building's exterior is clad entirely in weathering steel in geometric patterns, evoking the local character of Jiaoxi: the geometric shapes represent the stacked quartzite and joint patterns of Jiaoxi's geology, while the rust color symbolizes the iron content of Jiaoxi's hot spring water, making it an architectural emblem full of local flavor. The hotel has 3 floors and 27 guest rooms. Unlike the standardized rooms of typical hotels, NO.9 features 18 rooms in Nordic and playful styles.
