莊秀石說,六福皇宮未來不排除在台北、外縣市、甚至海外尋覓新據點重生。
20年的南京商圈地標台北威斯汀六福皇宮今天舉辦熄燈派對,員工一字排開,90度鞠躬感謝共同見證歷史的賓客,並贈送每位賓客代表愛與祝福的紅玫瑰,現場瀰漫著不捨的氣氛。台北威斯汀六福皇宮自1999年開幕以來,寫下許多全台第一的紀錄,除了是台灣第一個Westin品牌飯店、首創五星級飯店內設置電影院、國內第一個設置雪茄館的五星級飯店。
六福旅遊集團董事長莊豐如今天在致詞時感傷落淚,她表示,讀旅館管理最難得的是參與籌備,但她沒想到也參與到了飯店的熄燈,今天她會在此送走最後一位客人,並強調在觀光產業的努力,會繼續加油,不會讓大家失望。
莊豐如分享,她是六福皇宮的001號員工,全程參與六福皇宮的籌備,找來當時總經理來面試,總裁莊秀石一如往常穿著夏威夷衫和涼鞋現身,結果剛好總經理從關島來的,前一天才把鬍子刮掉,兩人沒說幾句就一拍即合,於是總經理成了002號。

多年來被視為台北市南京商圈地標之一的台北威斯汀六 福皇宮31日熄燈,六福旅遊集團董事長莊豐如(前右) 收下員工獻花,難掩感傷落淚。
六福皇宮一路走來其實不順遂,莊豐如表示,1999年10月開幕,當年發生921大地震,一開幕就處理許多取消退房事宜,接著遇上911、SARS的事件,還經歷6到年的捷運施工黑暗期,加上商圈發展移轉到東區,坦言這20年來不是很有優勢。
莊秀石今天強調,「這只是逗點,不是句點」,未來六福皇宮將會更好更大更奢華;莊豐如說,「再見,不是再也不見,而是很快再見」,但她說,六福皇宮再開應該是總裁希望完成的事,但要在台北開這麼大的量體的飯店,確實要花時間來找,會持續來進行;六福皇宮未來不排除在台北、外縣市、甚至海外尋覓新據點重生。
熄燈派對中,不少老員工紛紛表示:「這裡就像我第二個家,許多同事相處時間甚至比家人還長,心裡很不捨」、「想到這麼好的地方就沒有了,真的很難過」,現場賓客及員工紛紛拿起手機或相機自拍留念。也有年紀約70歲的老顧客表示,聽到六福皇宮要熄燈很難過,希望六福皇宮能從這裡再出發,轉進其他地方,再把旗子插下來。
莊豐如也說,創辦人以前曾做過醬油工廠、電影院和證券公司,不過從六福客棧開始後47年,都是在觀光產業,後來建設的建設公司和營造廠,目的都是支援集團的營業點,未來集團還會在這領域發展。

Zhuang Xiu Shi said that the future of Luk Fook Palace will not rule out the re-emergence of new locations in Taipei, foreign counties and cities.

The 20-year-old Nanjing business district landmark, the Westin Liufu Palace in Taipei, held a light-out party today. The staff lined up in a row, 90 degrees to thank the guests who witnessed the history together, and presented each guest with a red rose representing love and blessing. The atmosphere of disappointment. Since its opening in 1999, the Westin Liufu Palace in Taipei has written many first records in Taiwan, except for Taiwan’s first Westin brand hotel, the first five-star hotel to set up a movie theater, and the first five cigar museums in China. Star hotel.

Zhuang Fengru, chairman of Luk Fook Tourism Group, was saddened by tears in her speech today. She said that the most difficult thing to do in hotel management was to participate in the preparations, but she did not expect to participate in the lights-out of the hotel. Today she will send the last one here. Guests, and stressed that the efforts in the tourism industry will continue to cheer, will not let everyone down.

Zhuang Fengru shared that she was the No. 001 employee of the Luk Fook Palace. She participated in the preparations for the Luk Fook Palace. She was interviewed by the general manager at the time. The president Zhuang Xiu Shi appeared wearing a Hawaiian shirt and sandals as usual. The result was just the general manager from Guam. The beard was scraped off the day before, and the two did not say a few words and they hit it off, so the general manager became 002.

For many years, Taipei Westin Liufu Palace, which is regarded as one of the landmarks of the Nanjing business district in Taipei, was turned off on the 31st. Zhuang Fengru (front right), chairman of Luk Fook Tourism Group, accepted the staff to offer flowers, which made it difficult to hide the tears.

The Luk Fook Palace is not going smoothly along the way. Zhuang Fengru said that it opened in October 1999. When the 921 earthquake struck, many cancellations were handled at the opening, followed by events of 911 and SARS, and also experienced 6 years. The dark period of the MRT construction, coupled with the development of the business district moved to the Eastern District, frankly that this 20 years is not very advantageous.

Zhuang Xiu Shi stressed today that "this is just a comma, not a period." In the future, the Luk Fook Palace will be bigger and more luxurious. Zhuang Feng said, "Goodbye, not seeing it again, but seeing it soon," but she said The reopening of the Luk Fook Palace should be something that the president hopes to accomplish, but it is really necessary to take time to look for it in Taipei to open such a large-scale restaurant. It will continue to be carried out; the future of Luk Fook Palace will not be ruled out in Taipei, outside counties and cities, or even Looking for new locations overseas to regenerate.

In the lights-out party, many old employees said: "This is like my second home. Many colleagues get along even longer than their families. I am very sad." "There is no such thing as a good place. It is really Sad, the guests and staff have picked up their mobile phones or camera to take a selfie. There are also old customers about 70 years old who say that it is very difficult to hear the Luk Fook Palace to turn off the lights. I hope that the Luk Fook Palace can start from here, transfer to other places, and then insert the flag.

Zhuang Fengru also said that the founder had previously worked as a soy sauce factory, a cinema and a securities company. However, 47 years after the start of the Lufu Inn, they were all in the tourism industry. Later, the construction company and the construction plant were built to support the group. At the business location, the future group will also develop in this field.
