The Upper House

Hong Kong, China

• No.4 The World's 50 Best Hotels 2023

Is it a hotel, or is it a gallery? It’d be easy to mistake The Upper House as the latter thanks to its beautiful, sleek interiors and the sheer volume of art that line its walls. This aesthetic masterclass is the work of Asian design wizard André Fu, whose attention to detail and penchant for storytelling through architecture is manifest throughout the property. Starting with the 40-metre metal installation located in its brutalist lobby through to its red-toned wooden lift, Fu’s guiding principles are centred around the concept of an ‘upward journey’, with every element of the hotel designed to seamlessly transition guests between its many floors. For guests, The Upper House delivers on its ‘houses not hotels’ philosophy, with lodgings designed to feel like a high-end apartment rather than a hotel. Each of the 117 rooms is a masterclass in clean lines and neutral hues, warmly illuminated by ornate pieces. Its bathrooms trade traditional opulence for a muted palette of light wood, with a limestone bathtub acting as the centrepiece. For a taste of understated Asian luxury in Hong Kong, The Upper House is the place to be.
