The Upper House
High-tech cocoon ideally situated




The spacious studio-like rooms and suites at this 117-room boutique are perhaps the main draw at the Upper House. Andre Fu-designed suites that evoke a homeliness and informality, though not at the sacrifice of style, where a warm tactility in bamboo wood and other natural materials are complemented by original sandstone and bronze artworks throughout. As the name suggests, the Upper House is an above-it-all escape, but for those looking to get back into the city, it sits directly above the Pacific Place mall and, situated on Queensway, lies not too far from Hong Kong Park and the cultural surrounds of the Botanical Gardens.
