The MSUG Hotel

Converted from a Japanese-era shophouse on Minsheng Road, The MSUG Hotel keeps its original timber beams and terrazzo floors alongside a new kitchenette and soundproofed sleeping quarters. The West Central District location sits five minutes' walk from the Confucius Temple and Shennong Street's lantern-lit shophouses, a fit for travelers touring Tainan's temple district on foot.

A rooftop terrace and garden courtyard break up the historic floor plan, and the property runs its own cooking class centered on local Tainan street-food technique. Bicycle rental suits the flat old-city grid better than a car, and airport shuttle service covers the longer haul to Tainan Station.
