PB hotel design editorial

Perched above Admiralty on the upper floors of Swire Properties' Pacific Place complex, with the green forested flank of Hong Kong Park pressing against its lower windows, The Upper House was always conceived as something closer to a private residence than a conventional hotel. Andre Fu, then a relatively young Hong Kong-based architect completing his first major commission, delivered 117 rooms across floors 38 to 49 of the tower when the property opened in 2009 — each one larger than the market expected, with floor-to-ceiling glazing that makes the surrounding hills feel genuinely close rather than decorative. Fu's palette runs to pale oak, warm limestone, and grasscloth wall panels, the material register kept deliberately quiet so that the views and the proportions carry the room rather than the furnishings. The lobby lounge, set well above street level, is anchored by a low linear fireplace in pale stone, flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows that frame Victoria Peak's ridgeline — a composition visible in the images that gives the space the atmosphere of an elevated retreat rather than a transit point. Guestrooms continue the language: vertical oak slat screens dividing sleeping from dressing areas, green velvet benches at the bed foot, and carpets woven with a delicate botanical motif. The rooftop restaurant Café Gray Deluxe, with its dramatic bronzed chandelier and city-light panorama, completed a project that established Fu's international reputation almost immediately upon opening.

The Upper House, Hong Kong Reviews

"The Upper House is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. The rooms are fantastic, spacious, and very well designed. I highly recommend not missing out on the view of the bay. The breakfast is served at the table and is of very high quality, which I really appreciate. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to eat in the restaurant; we just had some great drinks at the bar. It’s a shame that Hong Kong and Berlin are so far apart. I would love to come back"

"So this is a very nicely designed hotel but with, IMHO, some flaws. The plusses are great breakfast food, lots of window space in both bed and bathroom, large bathrooms, and it has to be said great interior design. But having said that the hotel is very pricey and the entrance is rather underwhelming - there's not much space to sit outside the room to relax if the library is being used for an event as it was during our stay, as the tea shop is small and there is a very loud escalator next to it. You can have harbour views but they are literally nothing compared to the upper floors of the Peninsula or Rosewood so if you want views stay in Kowloon looking to HK Island - not the fault of UH of course. The staff often seem to be busy doing their own thing (they were having a meeting this morning for example at reception in the open) and when we checked in it seems quite chaotic. All in all it's a nice hotel but pricey with limited facilities (no pool, not much space outside the room). It is very highly rated by others, but sadly just didn't click for us; we thought we'd like it more. It you get a good price and you like the idea of a very large bath and dressing area maybe it is for you."

"Absolutely out of this world service!! From end to end the whole team was there for me to plan my entire trip from airport pickup to departure. And one of the all best welcome gifts I’ve ever received — snacks, exercise gear, a book and a branded scented candle! Also I loved the room design: very grounded in earth tones and calming…incredible to admire and very comforting for a good night’s sleep."
