Hong Kong is a bustling metropolis that offers a constellation of opportunities for travelers. Luxury shopping, incredible restaurants, breathtaking city views and more are all accessible in this modern wonderland. However, this densely populated city can also be a little overwhelming for first-time visitors. Luckily, there are hotels throughout the city that offer guests a combination of bespoke residential-style comforts and dedicated passion to deliver impeccable service.
The Upper House is a great example of this. Located over the top floors of Pacific Place this boutique hotel offers just 117 rooms and suites, but it feels more spacious than most. Designed to feel like a mansion, the entrance doesn’t have a very obvious door and this creates a sense of privacy. Once inside you are greeted with a red hued escalator, inspired by a Japanese red torii gate, and this sets the tone for a journey upwards through the hustle of the city into a serene house of intriguing spaces.
Once you have made it to the second floor of the hotel you are welcomed by a beautiful vista of the city. Each room has large windows and a swish chair positioned perfectly to take in the view. The bathrooms are spacious with a dressing area and limestone-clad bathtub. The toiletries are by the glorious British spa brand Bamford and include a wash bag to take away with you. The hotel also offers a turn down service and a mini bar with free snacks and drinks.
All the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The concierge is particularly impressive and goes above and beyond to help with anything you may need during your stay. The hotel is located very close to the metro and ocean terminal shopping mall. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a great stay in Hong Kong.
The newest addition to the W family, this hotel is designed with a nod to traditional Chinese hospitality and has been named as a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Hotel. The property features a rooftop lounge, Michelin-starred restaurant and more, but it is the service that really shines. Guests are greeted by name and welcomed with a personalized itinerary. They are offered a Tesla airport pick up and the staff go out of their way to ensure every detail is perfect.
A truly luxurious and unforgettable experience. This hotel is located in the heart of Hong Kong Island and is ideal for business travellers, who will find themselves only minutes from corporate offices and government buildings. The modern skyscrapers in the surrounding Central District are juxtaposed with historic colonial buildings and temples, creating a unique skyline. The property itself is an architectural masterpiece, with a series of interconnecting spaces ranging from the lobby to the rooftop, and each space has been thoughtfully curated with local art and cultural elements. The staff at the hotel are very helpful and always eager to provide recommendations for dining, shopping and entertainment.
