The Upper House: Quiet luxury sanctuary soaring above Pacific Place in Admiralty, Hong Kong by architect André Fu with Salisterra dining
Perched on the 38th through 49th floors of Pacific Place in Admiralty, Hong Kong, The Upper House opened in 2009 as the definitive modern masterpiece of celebrated architect André Fu (AFSO). Conceived as a calm, upward journey of residential serenity rising high above the buzzing metropolis, the 117-room luxury hotel redefines Asian quiet luxury. Warm bamboo paneling, natural limestone, shoji glass screens, sculpture installations, and monumental picture windows frame sweeping, unobstructed panoramas of Victoria Harbour, Kowloon, and the lush peak greenery.
Arrival introduces travelers to an effortless sense of calm: guests step through the dramatic 10-metre stone entrance and ascend via a glowing escalator into a hushed 49th-floor sky atrium. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating urban, cultural, and culinary pursuits: taking the historic Peak Tram up to Victoria Peak (just minutes away), luxury shopping within Pacific Place, exploring contemporary art galleries in Central and Hollywood Road, and reserving a sunset table at Salisterra.
Hotel living combines residential intimacy with panoramic dining: the 49th floor hosts Salisterra, an elevated Mediterranean dining room with Victoria Harbour views. The 6th floor features The Lawn, a private open-air grass garden lounge. Guests enjoy in-room wellness treatments and a 24-hour fitness studio overlooking the skyline.
Accommodations comprise 117 spacious rooms and suites starting at an extraordinary 68 square metres for Studio 70 rooms to 78-square-metre Studio 80 rooms and 114-square-metre Upper Suites. Each residence features spa-like limestone bathrooms with freestanding soaking tubs framing harbor views, walk-in dressing rooms, king beds, and the complimentary 'Maxi Bar' with wine, beers, and artisan snacks.
Design connoisseurs, business leaders, and luxury travelers seeking serene residential minimalism, oversized rooms, and breathtaking Victoria Harbour panoramas in Hong Kong should book The Upper House without hesitation. Travelers seeking massive convention ballrooms or noisy public lobbies should look elsewhere. Grounded review consensus confirms legendary standing with a 4.9 out of 5 on Tripadvisor across 2,650 reviews and a 4.8 out of 5 on Google across 1,890 reviews.
