The Upper House

Hong Kong , China


The Upper House is Hong Kong's latest and most talked-about hotel that combines five star luxury with boutique intimacy. The Upper House is exciting, quirky and unlike anything else in the city. Tucked away from the vibrant streets of Hong Kong, the hotel is designed by architect Andre Fu, who has created a vibrant refreshing environment, which might well tempt you to prefer a night in - as opposed to a night out in Hong Kong's busy urban landscape.

The hotel's 117 rooms (including 21 suites and 2 penthouses) start at 730 sq ft - the largest in Hong Kong. They feature wonderfully spacious bathrooms and dressing areas, and offer either scenic harbour or island views. Calming and contemporary, the rooms are designed to provide a sense of relaxation, warmth and understated luxury.
