Upper House Hong Kong
Minimalist, residential, and quietly confident. Think pared-back luxury rather than showy opulence. Bamboo, limestone, and warm stone tones dominate. Thomas Heatherwick's brutalist Stone Curtains façade makes a striking first impression at street level. The crowd skews international, design-conscious, and business-chic.
Book a harbour-view room if budget allows — the island-view Studios have better feng shui according to Mr & Mrs Smith, but harbour views from the soaking tub are the defining Upper House moment.
Why It Matters
Ranked #10 on The World's 50 Best Hotels 2025 list (and #5 in 2024), it is the debut hotel project of acclaimed Hong Kong designer André Fu. It holds 2 Michelin Keys and was voted No.1 by Condé Nast Traveler UK readers in 2025. Its paperless check-in was pioneering for its time, and the complimentary Maxi Bar — free everything except wine — remains a fan favourite.
Upper House Hong Kong sits on floors 38 to 49 above Admiralty's Pacific Place, and it operates more like a private residence than a hotel. André Fu designed the interior around the concept of an 'upward journey' — warm oak tones, limestone bathtubs, floor-to-ceiling windows, and over 400 commissioned artworks. With 117 rooms starting at 730 sq ft, it has the largest entry-level rooms in Hong Kong. No pool, no traditional spa, but the rooms are so generous you barely notice.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
André Fu Suite
The flagship suite, honouring the ongoing relationship between the hotel and its original designer André Fu. A secluded, highly private space positioned just below the 49th-floor restaurant with sweeping Hong Kong skyline views. The dining room seats 18 guests and there's a dedicated personal massage room inside the suite — effectively your own private treatment space. One of the most distinctive hotel suites in the city.
King · 182 sqm
Pacific Place Apartments
For longer or permanent stays: one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments styled with the same residential aesthetic as the hotel rooms. Ideal for extended business stays or if you want to make Admiralty a semi-permanent base.
Penthouse
Two-bedroom penthouse with panoramic views and the feel of a private sky residence. Generous living area, spa-like bathrooms, and capacity for four adults plus two children. One of only two penthouses in the building. Can also be booked for private events and functions.
Two King · 182 sqmStudio 70
The entry-level room at Upper House, and still the largest of its category in Hong Kong. A freestanding limestone soaking tub and floor-to-ceiling windows give the room a spa-like feel. Harbour or city views depending on which side of the building. The Maxi Bar is fully stocked complimentary. Cushioned window seats look out over the skyline.
King · 68 sqmStudio 80
Slightly larger than the Studio 70 with city and mountain views. The only room category offering twin beds. Comes with a generous dressing room and the same limestone soaking tub. Can accommodate two adults and one child (sofa bed). Popular with families who want space without moving to a suite.
King or Twin · 78 sqmUpper Suite
21 suites across the upper floors with a separate living room, proper dining area, and walk-in wardrobe. The corner-positioned suites are particularly good. Twin vanities, a walk-in rain shower, and a limestone soaking tub that faces a wall of windows. The soaking tub views are the real selling point here — you can watch the entire Hong Kong skyline while you soak. Designed with wood, stone, and glass throughout.
