ABOUT
SILOAH ARTISTIC RETREAT is located in Qingshui Village, Nangan Township, Lienchiang County, Matsu, Taiwan, redefining the hotel experience in a region that once stood as the Cold War frontier in the Taiwan Strait. Matsu’s unique geographical and historical character makes it a perfect canvas for “reinterpreting boundaries.” Through cultural decoding and contemporary translation, the layered history and spatial qualities of Matsu evolve into an artistic language that is both deeply local and universally resonant. This creative process revitalizes cultural memory, generating fresh narrative possibilities within today’s art scene.
Transformed by INSPACE Interior Design into a luxurious, art-infused sanctuary, SILOAH ARTISTIC RETREAT is the only high-end hotel in Matsu offering 60 guest rooms—setting it apart from typical homestays. The design flawlessly fuses modern functionality with historical charm and classical elegance, with art serving as the unifying theme throughout the property.
Inspired by Matsu’s maritime spirit, the design draws upon the mesmerizing “Blue Tears” phenomenon and the rhythmic pulse of ocean waves. These elements are subtly woven into the design and soft furnishings, creating an immersive marine ambiance. Every detail—from the welcoming lobby to each guest room—is meticulously crafted, turning the entire space into a dynamic art gallery that preserves historical traces while exuding modern luxury and comfort.
Each guest room is equipped with an exclusive British Vispring mattress—a brand used by only six hotels worldwide—with SILOAH ARTISTIC RETREAT proudly becoming the seventh. This mattress is not merely a symbol of unparalleled comfort but also a testament to history and quality, cherished by British royalty and international icons. The classical lines, ornate carvings, and carefully selected furnishings in each room harmonize perfectly with modern amenities, providing guests with an incomparable experience of elegance.
The public spaces are equally striking. In the lobby and banquet hall stands a historic pipe organ which, though over a century old, has been innovatively reinterpreted with fresh arrangements of Taiwanese classics and indigenous melodies—transcending its traditional association with church music. Complementing this is an 1862 Bosendorfer antique piano, while the space is adorned with calligraphy and artworks by Taiwanese artists. Together, these elements create a cross-temporal symphony that turns every performance into an artistic feast.
Moreover, collaborations with the Taipei Philharmonic Orchestra and an exclusive 16-member ensemble, re-arranging 120 classic Western and Eastern songs along with light classical tunes, transform music into a bridge of interaction, evoking deep emotional resonance with guests.
SILOAH ARTISTIC RETREAT is not merely a hotel but a cultural platform that fuses sustainability, local heritage, and artistic innovation. Here, history and modernity, art and life, intertwine to craft an unprecedented narrative of themed hotel interior design—offering every guest an unforgettable, soul-enriching experience.
