The Upper House

A favourite with visiting celebrities, this five-star boutique hotel, manages to feel cutting-edge, ultra-luxurious and homely all at the same time.

Propped on the top floors of a 48-storey skyscraper, each swish suite offers sweeping views of the city, either down towards the harbour or up towards Victoria Peak.

The facilities are few (there’s no swimming pool or spa) but you’re here for the spectacular design – a 40-metre atrium soaring through the heart of the building, honey and caramel interiors from
Hong Kong designer André Fu – and the haute atmosphere, best soaked up at the new Mediterranean restaurant Salisterra. The adjoining bar is also an excellent late-night watering hole.
