HOTEL SUMMARY
Rising above Hong Kong's bustling streets like a serene house in the clouds, The Upper House Hong Kong redefines luxury hospitality through André Fu's visionary design and an intimate scale that feels more like a sophisticated private residence than a traditional hotel. Opened in 2009 as the debut hotel project of acclaimed architect André Fu, The Upper House represents a masterpiece of understated elegance within the Swire Hotels portfolio. Fu, celebrated as a "design wunderkind" by Vogue UK, conceived this luxury accommodation as an upward journey from the city's energy to tranquil sanctuary above. The hotel's striking 40-metre metal installation anchors a brutalist lobby surrounded by a water moat, while guests ascend via escalators flanked by dimmed red lights inspired by Japanese Torii gates. This architectural poetry earned recognition as a temple of understated beauty, setting new standards for Hong Kong luxury hotels. The Upper House's 117 guest rooms, including 21 suites and 2 penthouses, occupy floors 38 and above, ensuring every accommodation commands spectacular city views. Studio-style rooms range from 730 square feet to palatial 1,960-square-foot penthouses, designed with clean lines and muted palettes of bamboo and celadon tones. The signature André Fu Suite showcases the designer's aesthetic philosophy with mineral blue, dusty mink, and pale ivory hues across its one-bedroom layout featuring an 18-seat dining room and private spa treatment space. Spa-inspired bathrooms feature limestone soaking tubs and standing rain showers, while tech amenities include 42-inch LCD TVs, dual-temperature wine fridges, and complimentary "Maxi" bars stocked with premium refreshments. Dining experiences center on Salisterra, where Michelin-starred Chef Jun Tanaka crafts Mediterranean flavors in a relaxed neighborhood bistro setting. The 49th-floor Sky Lounge, accessed via the dramatic Sky Bridge spanning a 40-metre-high atrium, offers cocktails crafted with housemade ingredients alongside killer vistas through floor-to-ceiling windows. The rare outdoor court with green lawn provides an unexpected oasis in Hong Kong's dense urban landscape, hosting complimentary weekend yoga sessions and monthly #TUHRunningClub gatherings. For discerning travelers seeking Hong Kong's most sophisticated boutique hotel experience, The Upper House delivers unparalleled intimacy and design excellence. Book during cooler months for optimal enjoyment of The Lawn's outdoor amenities, and request higher floors for the most dramatic harbor views.
