HUMBLE HOUSE IS TAIWAN'S FIRST HOTEL BRAND. BEFORE HUMBLE HOUSE, THERE WAS NO TAIWANESE HOTEL BRAND DESPITE TAIWAN'S SUPERIOR ECONOMY AND WEALTH. WE HAVE OBEROI AND TAJ FROM INDIA, DUSIT FROM THAILAND AND BANYAN TREE FROM SINGAPORE AND OF COURSE SHANGRI-LA FROM MALAYSIA THOUGH MOST THINK IT IS HONG KONGESE JUST BECAUSE IT IS BASED THERE. BUT NADA FROM TAIWAN THOUGH THE REGENT CHAIN IS NOW TAIWANESE OWNED. ANYWAY I ADORE THE QUIRKY NAME HUMBLE HOUSE WHICH DENOTES LITTLE PROVINCIAL COTTAGES FROM CHINA'S OUTBACK BUT IS VERY HIGH END, HIGH CLASS AND HIGHLY PRICED!
