Guests repeatedly praise Upper House for exceptional, personalized service, calm residential atmosphere, understated luxury, design, views, location, spacious rooms, amenities, and thoughtful celebration touches. Many consider it Hong Kong’s best and return repeatedly. The main reservations are high pricing and occasional design flaws or a lack of personal connection.


From the moment you get to the hotel to the moment you regrettably have to leave, you will be amazed by small things that will make your stay at this hotel and HKG a fabulous stay.
Our time at Upper House was a delightful retreat and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a blend of luxury and wellness care in a tranquil setting :)
Their front office team provided a tailored experience based on our interest and helped us have the best time during our couple days in the city.


In a city that can be so busy and hectic, the peaceful environment The Upper House offers puts it a cut above the rest.
I’ve been to Hong Kong around twenty times, but The Upper House is the one hotel I would choose again and again.
The top rate service and calm beauty of the place combine to make a magical experience that keeps me coming back.


We stayed at the Upper House during our last trip to Hong Kong and it was an absolutely amazing experience.
This is undoubtedly the place I will choose over and over again every time I am in Hong Kong.
After 10 years of returning, we can confidently say that everything about The Upper House is simply perfect.


Love all the amenity arranged by them and it is definitely my favourite hotel in Hong Kong.
I just want to give my gratitude to Upperhouse during my long stay in November, 2025.
And the rooms have some of the best views to wake up to in Hong Kong.


The concierge team deserves a mention as well for their warm welcome and great advice!
We've now stayed at all the "upper houses" and can't fault any of them.
Upper House is in the top 10 of the 50 Worlds Best Hotels.


I’m already looking forward to returning on my next trip to Hong Kong.
I would definitely choose this hotel on any future visit to Hong Kong
Always happy to come back this lovely house spending my special occasion.


We always cannot wait to go back and plan another visit.
A place you dream of returning to the moment you leave.
Upper House just keeps getting better every time we visit.


We stayed on New Year’s Eve, to celebrate my birthday.
Staying at The Upper House truly feels like going home.
Probably one of the best hotels I've stayed at.


I had an unforgettable night at my biggest day.
Swire Hotels continues to set the hospitality standard in this part of the world and that the Upper House remains a firm fixture among the very best hotels in the world is testament to the ingenuity, diligence and scrupulous attention to detail of an extremely professional team.
This 117 key property has enjoyed immense popularity since its opening in 2009, on the upper levels of an eighties skyscraper in Admiralty, as the inaugural hotel to be designed by André Fu and the cornerstone for his later glowing career.


We’ve been staying here for business and pleasure for 20 years, and in the best possible way, nothing has changed - if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, but somehow they manage to keep improving on perfection.
Our first stay at The Upper House was amazing throughout, from the style and the design of the hotel to the impeccable service and attention to details to the breathtaking view from the top floor restaurant Salisterra.
Absolutely stunning stay - numerous little details making us feel seen, celebrated and loved - I know that sounds like a lot, but it was truly one of the most remarkably and unique hotel stays ever.


Staff: What guests say

Staff are the hotel’s most consistently praised feature: warm, professional, highly attentive, and proactive with reservations, airport transfers, celebrations, local recommendations, and personalized amenities. Guests frequently mention Sharon and Edward by name, with staff remembering preferences and returning guests. A few reports describe chaotic check-in or staff seeming busy.


Staff were extremely accommodating – helping us out extensively with the various luggage and bits we had to carry, working with our production and photography crew members on the morning of our wedding when we held our traditional Chinese tea ceremony, providing us with a Chinese tea set, and generally being very attentive.
In particular, I have never had such special and attentive care as we received from Paul - who went out of his way to make us feel at home, showing us to our room and taking the time to make sure we had everything we needed.
Last but not least I’d like to thank one of the guest experience managers, Edward Tang, who has never failed to do his best to personally look after me, as well as my friends and family who visit the House, every time I visit.


The staff at Upper House are warm and friendly and went out of their to help me with an in room massage alongside fantastic recommendations of local hiking trails and local food spots.
Special shout out to Sharon the senior guest liaison manager who gave excellent recommendations on where to eat and get a spa treatment (among questions I put to her).
I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else on my next visit such an exceptional hotel with amazing service, facilities and a team that create magical guest experiences.


All along we simply felt welcome - also Edward was there for a chat many times, and we could tell that all efforts were made.
Perhaps it was just me, but one male bartender and one other male waiter seemed cold and "un-smiling" while I was there for lunch.
The wonderful Angela, Kim, K Ma, Paul and team led by Edward, you are what makes The Upper House above and beyond!


Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Edward for providing us with such high-quality service during our stay.
Thank you to Sharon Lee, Paul, Edward and K at the front desk and to all the Upper House team!
A special mention to Paul Stanton (Guest Experience) who always goes the extra mile to ensure everything is perfect.


We were looked after by Paul, who spoilt us with his kindness and professionalism from beginning to end.
The expertise, solicitude and charm of the wonderful guest experience team remains at an astonishingly high level.
We felt genuinely well cared for, and a minor issue did not detract from our overall experience.


The staff had also added personal touches like a welcome fruit plate and handwritten note card.
The front office, restaurant, and housekeeping team were all exceptional—smile and warm, responsible, attentive, and thoughtful.
The warmth and hospitality extended by the team made all the difference, we are sincerely grateful.


What really sets the Upper House apart is its superb staff and attention to detail.
A special thank you to Gigi and Eddie for their attentive care during our stay.
The guest services team reached out to ask about the purpose of our trip.


Thank you for her treat and her suggestion to us about the Korean restaurant.
We were truly impressed by the exceptional level of service provided by the staff.
What makes it my home when I am away from home is the staff.


The effervescent director of guest experience, Edward, accompanies me into the residential heaven.
Over our four-day stay, the staff made us feel completely at home.
Guest services are extraordinary and ensure a home away from home experience.


From the moment we entered, everyone was very friendly and enthusiastic.
Every time they go above expectation to create a memorable experience.
The wonderful caring staff were attentive to our every needs.


Rooms: What guests say

Rooms are consistently described as exceptionally spacious, spotless, quiet, and residential in feel, with warm Andre Fu design, highly comfortable beds, and panoramic harbour or city views. Bathrooms are a major highlight, often featuring huge layouts, freestanding tubs, strong showers, and skyline views. There is no pool and limited outdoor seating.


Our suite (#09) had great view of city and harbor, and gave a spectacular view of firework during Chinese New Year (so we didn't need to go to the Bar Lounge to watch the firework).
Also the hardware and design of the rooms is undoubtedly of world-class standard, with Andrews Fu's original design setting a subtle tone and, at the same time, boasting elegance and beauty.
One thing I would also like to note, the room was constantly being cleaned and topped up with anything we used (coffee, drinks, cosmetics etc) throughout the days of our stay.


Every detail has been thought of; up to date charging points next to the bed, a mini kitchenette and even equipping the dressing room with a Dyson hairdryer and yoga mat.
The rooms are amazing- Pale wood furnishings, huge bathroom with a tub and rain shower and a separate area to hang up clothing- more a small apartment than a room.
The views facing water, city and hills are breathtaking, the bed is very comfortable, the bathroom huge, the bath tub and shower allow daily hygiene with marvellous outlooks.


Our harbour view room was very spacious with a large comfy bed and designed with clean lines and minimalist taste, whilst also feeling very homely.
The shower has both a rain head and a hand held shower with strong water pressure - I loved taking a shower here!
The soothing oaky muteness filtrates the sizeable bed chamber and vanity area and precipitates the minimal Noh climax in the limestone-lined bathroom.


In the evenings and nights, our room contrasted perfectly by giving us a private and serene space high above its surroundings.
Third, you don't need a key card to get to the guest room levels, although it seemed pretty safe for us.
The rooms are spacious, stylish, and always impeccably clean (and made ready by the time you get back from breakfast).


The attention to detail can be seen everywhere, not just in the room itself, but throughout the entire hotel.
I am immediately mesmerized by the unhindered vista of the Victoria Harbour through the picture window of Suite 90.
The bathroom and shower both also overlooked the harbour with a separate area with his and hers basins.


Excellent fit and finish to the rooms and the quality of every little thing seemed effortless but perfect.
The suite itself is spacious with incredible view of Hong Kong harbour, cityscape and greeneries all around.
I spent many hours soaking in the tub, enjoying a bath bomb thoughtfully sent up by Paul.


The combination of natural wood, bamboo, the warm tones, and abundant daylight created a peaceful sanctuary.
I booked the upper suite as my bridal room for my wedding and it was great.
The soaking bathtub is placed meticulously in the center as if it were an altar.


The rooms are exceptionally spacious, beautifully designed, and offer stunning views of the city.
Lay-out is well thought out and it is more like a very nice apartment.
The room had an amazing view, with a spacious bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.


The hotel is beautifully appointed with more than ample space in our suite.
Nice clean and spacious room with a view to make Hk proud!
It's great that the room already included 800 HKD of meal charge.


Very spacious room and great view up at the 47th floor.
The room is large with spectacular views of the mountain.
The room itself was stunning, spacious, and extremely comfortable.


Location: What guests say

The Upper House is repeatedly praised for its prime Admiralty location above Pacific Place, with direct or easy access to MTR, shopping, dining, Central, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Park, and walking trails. Guests describe it as central yet serene, with impressive harbor views. One downside is frequent public events and accessible guest floors.


Location is excellent - you're tucked away near the Admiralty metro stop and abutting the Pacific Mall - makes for a nice walk through Hong Kong Park to get to Central and just steps away from yummy eateries in Wan Chai.
Excellent connection to all parts of the SAR thanks to its proximity to MTR Admiralty station, high-end shopping options in the same Pacific Place complex, and relaxing elements of greenery in Hong Kong Park and the Mid-Levels near-by.
The location couldn’t be more convenient—perched above Pacific Place in Admiralty with easy access to the MTR, shops, and restaurants—yet the atmosphere felt completely serene, like a private retreat in the clouds.


Located in between the busy Central and bustling Causeway Bay districts, it was the perfect urban base camp for our metropolitan getaway filled with city walks and shopping.
The location is great considering other alternative dining options, sight seeing like the Peak, the botanical gardens and architectural landmarks, all were at walkable distance from the hotel.
If there's any downside, it's that the hotel is quite buzzy with many events open to the public and the guest floors are pretty much accessible to anyone.


The Upper House has a great location with easy access to the best of Hong Kong’s shopping, restaurants and transportation - walking into Central is a breeze.
The location is perfect; nestled right in the middle of the city whilst only a few blocks from some of the best walking paths into the mountains.
The property is at its finest by the design and its location at Pacific place which you can do shopping and also dining without going anywhere else.


Location is fantastic—away from the hustle of Central, but Pacific Place is right there for shopping and dining, and the MTR is an easy walk away.
The hotel is situated in an extremely convenient location — easily accessible by MTR and the charming Ding Ding tram, which made exploring the city effortless.
And Pacific Place the only Mall I go to with everything you need to get and best best spacious and clean mall in Hong Kong.


At the very heart of Hong Kong Island — right above Pacific Place shopping mall, with direct access to the MTR and numerous bus routes.
There is so much to do and see in HK and this hotel is in a great area to get out and about from.
I was very happy we stayed here: walking distance to Sun/Star/Moon street, so I managed to go there quickly despite the tight schedule.


There are many restaurants in the area (Admiralty) and the hotel restaurant on the 49th floor is exceptional for food, service and view.
Location is good - next to a shopping centre and right near a metro station so well connected for the whole city.
Will definitely be back with my family to stay at "The House" again and try its penthouse or suite with harbour view.


The location is ideal because the hotel is above a very high end shopping mall and a short walk to the subway.
The objective facts are easy to describe, with the House's supreme location offering all you could wish for in Hong Kong.
Short walk to Central and all transport hubs as well as all the restaurants and bars of Wan Chai.


The team greets me and escorts me ascending the grand escalator lined by lanterns in dimming lava-tone light.
The hotel is also conveniently located just one metro stop from Tsim Sha Sui and Nathan Road.
The hotel's location was great and it was very convenient to go anywhere from there.


I would highly recommend the Harbour View - the sight at night is breathtaking!
If you want a laid-back luxury vibe in HK, this place nails it.
It’s a shame that Hong Kong and Berlin are so far apart.


The location is very central, close to metro and ferry stations.
The hotel itself is perfectly located.
Very nice view, very quiet.


Facilities: What guests say
View Upper House Hong Kong43 relevant reviews
Upper House is impeccably clean and well maintained, with a serene lawn, Sky Lounge, Green Room, strong wellness offerings, and generous complimentary minibars. Facilities are limited by the absence of a swimming pool, large lobby, business center, and extensive in-house dining; the small entrance and long dark escalator may feel unwelcoming, while décor shows some age.


Soft drinks and staples are well stocked in the mini cellar of the complementary Maxi Bar, and I just cannot help but grin at the ultra-healthy welcome snacks placed on the coffee table next to the yoga mats and blocks.
With over ten collaborators offering everything from sauna and cold plunges, conscious therapy, and chiropractic care, to reiki, gemstone healing, and even make-up services, there’s something for every kind of restoration and renewal.
Possibly better suited for shorter business stays as after 5 days we would have loved a pool, outdoor relaxing space and more in house dinning options ( expect in 5 star)


There is a bar on the same floor (The Green Room) which has a DJ and offers stunning views of the harbour at night with a friendly and buzzy vibe.
I unfortunately had too much work to fully take advantage of all the in-house amenities but really enjoyed the Monocle cafe and popup for my morning and afternoon coffees.
With panoramic views of both the lush green mountains and Victoria Harbour, you get the best of both worlds — nature and the city’s iconic skyline.


And one more thing, I like the canvas tote with the hotel's name on it very much but I couldn't find any place to buy it.
Just need a scale in the room and a bit more light in the escalator area between ground and first floor to make it perfect.
There are no business centers within this hotel - but the team creatively helped us find a fix on their expansive 49th floor.


Check out the guest toilets too, as they’re as stunning as the rest of the hotel, again - the view is worth seeing!
Everything, from the lobby to our room and the fitness center, was spotlessly clean and clearly very well-maintained, modern, and cared for.
I love the lawn to chill at whether I’m not in the room and decided to just chill at the hotel.


Standing on the grass, surrounded by buildings yet feeling the calm of a jungle, is a rare gift in this city.
The bar and dining experience on site is also amazing and I would definitely recommend heading there for a night in.
Then the long dark escalator which takes you to the seventh floor is not the most welcoming beginning to your stay.


Staffs at the coffee bakery station on the second floor you can find all gluten free bakeries and detox juices.
We were given lots of lovely gifts throughout our stay from the most comfortable PJ sets to smart monogrammed razors.
The bath, in-room yoga mat and the hot yoga on offer, allowed me to relax when I had any breaks.


I did enjoy light snacks and cocktails in the bar and the sliders were the best I have ever eaten.
There was no lift in the small lobby, making it difficult to carry all the suitcases to the small lobby.
The Lawn and The Sky Lounge are perfect for intimate and large events and are incredibly chic and luxurious.


The outdoor garden is a hidden gem — a pocket of green in the middle of Hong Kong’s skyline.
The iconic 'Green Room' at the Upper House Hong Kong just hosted my daughters wonderful 16th birthday party!
Having opened in 2009, the décor is now showing its age, but everything is still very well maintained.


Maxibar with Generous snacks and drinks are really incredible for relaxing and enjoyable holidays.
The hardware in this famous hotel has always been a standout fixture.
Don't miss the venue or the service for your special moment.


The Bimbo Concepts Playroom, they went 4 times in 3 days
One of the most unique aspects is their wellness partnerships.
TheUpper House excels in every possible way - the facilities.


Restaurant: What guests say
View Upper House Hong Kong42 relevant reviews
Guests consistently praise Salisterra and the hotel’s restaurant and bar for excellent, sometimes world-class food, attentive service, memorable cocktails, and spectacular high-floor Hong Kong views. Breakfast offers wide variety, while room service is tasty, varied, and prompt. Romantic atmosphere and distinctive dishes, including salt-baked sea bass, are recurring highlights.


Food is another highlight; we returned from our wedding banquet having not eaten very much, and the late night menu gave us a good spread of selections to pick from.
And their bar and restaurant on the 49th floor is magical - great views, grab bar, great vibe and a restaurant that has the most welcoming couch and table configurations.
The bar and restaurant are wonderful highlights — vibrant in the evening for a drink, and equally enjoyable in the morning for breakfast with stunning views.


When making the reservation, Sharon Lee kindly walked me through different options and recommended the weekend brunch, which turned out to be a great choice.
The restaurants he recommended were outstanding—my dad enjoyed the meals so much that he said he’d return to Hong Kong just for that!
We still frequent the Salistera Restaurant and the Green Room Bar, two of our favourite places to entertain and hang out with friends.


After long days of sightseeing, we opted to stay in and have dinner at the hotel on a number of evenings.
The Salisterra amplifies the immersive experience through their anticipation of guest needs, proficient product knowledge, excellent presentation and seamless service standards.
A quick call to the room service team and food was promptly served to our suite in under 30 minutes.


The food is world class including the in room dining options which are varied and always to a great standard.
Undoubtedly the stunning bird's eye view from the top floor of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon is one stellar aspect.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to eat in the restaurant; we just had some great drinks at the bar.


We enjoyed delicious cocktails with a view at Salisterra in the evening and the amazing breakfast the following morning.
My partner raved about his full English after two weeks of a lot of local food in HK.
Upon arrival, we had lunch at the Salisterra restaurant while waiting for our rooms, which was very nice.


I also recommend visiting The Continental, just a short stroll away — delicious food and fantastic service.
Salisterra, the restaurant on the 49th floor did delicious breakfasts in the evening did drinks and dinner.
We also enjoyed a nightcap at the Green Bar with an amazing view over the city.


Service in the restaurant and bar was excellent, and breakfast offered a wide variety of choices.
Thanks to the team’s quiet but consistent care, it became a really memorable birthday meal.
The food was excellent, and my friend was genuinely happy the entire time.


They gave him some cupcakes plus a great dinner at the hotel restaurant.
We also had dinner and drinks at Salisterra, the top floor restaurant.
The salt-baked sea bass and pineapple tarte tartine at Salisterra are delicious!


Ordered room service and was well balanced and tasty.
The bar is like a scene from a movie.
The restaurant had excellent menu and unique dishes.


The restaurant at the top is exceptional.
Restaurant in hotel has incredible food
The cuisine is so delicious.


Breakfast: What guests say

Breakfast is repeatedly praised as exceptional, fresh, beautifully presented, and high quality, with generous Japanese, Chinese, local Hong Kong, and Western options, excellent coffee, and attentive service. The à-la-carte setting on the 49th floor offers spectacular harbour and city views. Variety is not extensive, and one tea-order mix-up and isolated quality criticism were noted.


Breakfast (and in particular, the Japanese and Chinese breakfast sets) is one of the parts of the House which I always look forward to whenever I stay; the quality of the food and the generous portions all speak for themselves!
There is no huge variety, but the quality of food and the relaxed atmosphere are very enjoyable, especially compared to other hotel breakfast settings.
The à-la-carte only breakfast in the beautiful Salisterra restaurant on the 49th floor excelled, at an even higher rate as during earlier stays.


We especially loved starting our mornings upstairs with breakfast and winding down in the same spot with sunset drinks—both experiences were equally memorable.
Some misunderstandings occurred where I received black tea instead of green tea when I ordered a green tea at the Cafe Gray Deluxe.
They serve some of the best breakfasts anywhere and it was great to see some new items on the refreshed menu.


We were there for 8 nights and tried all set menus and many a la carte combinations with complete satisfaction.
Breakfast at The Salisterra on the 49th floor was outstanding, the menu varied for all tastes and the food excellent.
They offered a great mix of local Hong Kong specialties and classic Western options, all beautifully presented and delicious.


The breakfast is served at the table and is of very high quality, which I really appreciate.
The à la carte breakfast is excellent, with great coffee, and definitely worth booking with your room.
Special notice that I had my best boiled egg in the house! everyone should try it once!


(Tip: the HK style peanut butter french toast with maple syrup is not to be missed.)
Excellent breakfast in beautiful dining room with a panoramic view of the city and harbour.
Breakfast sets of different cultural backgrounds, additional options, and drinks' quality convinced with no exceptions.


Breakfast at Salisterra was top-notch—great food, beautifully plated, and the 49th-floor views don't hurt.
I love that the breakfast is not buffet as it saves so much wastage.
Food stands out too: breakfast is unbelievable - great choices with high-quality coffee.


Ken and Roy at the restaurant take great care of us during breakfast.
The breakfast menu was exceptional with the most spectacular views over Hong Kong!
We also really enjoyed the breakfast — it was delicious and very fresh!


And the breakfast! It was a fantastic start to each day.
I highly recommend trying the Egg Royale on the breakfast menu.
I particularly enjoyed the breakfast and lunch during my previous stay.


A great breakfast room with a nice menu and fabulous views.
The breakfast offerings were delicious, adding to the wonderful experience.
The warm reception at breakfast each day.


The breakfast is so delicious.

Check-in / Check-out: What guests say

Check-in and check-out are consistently described as seamless, quick, efficient, and welcoming. Guests particularly value in-room check-in, personalized arrival assistance, and flexible early check-in or late check-out options. One guest reported no reservation record despite having a confirmation number.


We had a personalised and effortless check in with the wonderful Edward Tang, who met us as we came out of the taxi and whisked us straight up to our suite.
Especially the arrival process - being met at the gate, sheparded thru C and I, then ordering a light meal to be in the room on arrival!!
Despite my late arrival, the House’s Guest Experience Team made the check-in process effortless, introducing the room to me and arranging the checkout process.


This includes the possibility of extremely early check-in upon arrival and check-outs after 8 pm on both departure days.
Every stay is a flawless experience – from the seamless check-in to the thoughtful details throughout our time there.
Check-in is done right in your room, so you don’t have to wait in a busy lobby.


Every detail is taken care of from check in to check out
Every detail—from seamless check-in to thoughtful turndown treats—showcased genuine hospitality.
Check in was seamless and the staff were very welcoming.


High expectations were met- from check-in through each interaction.
No record on reservations even with confirmation number.
To the greeting upon check in


The check-in process was very efficient.
The check-in process was seamless.
Check-in was quick and easy.


Seamless check-in/out, flawless execution.
Check in is seamless.
Smooth check-in in room


The hotel doesn't have a pool but we were given passes to use the spa facilities at the Marriott.
I recommend using the sauna and cold plunge at 10x longevity especially if you are hungover or jet lagged.
I particularly loved the addition of the longevity spa suite with a cold bath / infra red sauna etc.


In room massage


The small size of the gym (it is the same same size of the room that has been outfitted with the gym)
There’s a decent gym that is usually not too occupied.
There is a gym but no pool.


Top-tier gym.


First of all, there is no swimming pool in the hotel, which seems unusual for a luxury hotel.
Again, I spent many hours lying by the pool, enjoying the peace and quiet.
And no pool.


Let the hotel arrange your transportation to and from the airport.
Easy access to MTR and buses.
From the car pick up,


You won't be disappointed.
