The Ultimate Lazy Luxury Above the 38th Floor – Breathtaking, Unobstructed Views at This Top Hong Kong Hotel

The Upper House, located near Admiralty Station, sits on the 38th floor and above of Pacific Place, comprising ten floors and 127 guest rooms. It is a five-star hotel operated by the Swire Group. Although surrounded by numerous other five-star hotels, The Upper House stands out with a serene and stable aura. Designed in the style of a private luxury residence without appearing overly extravagant or ostentatious, this is the first impression you get upon entering the hotel lobby.

In Hong Kong, a metropolitan city with an abundance of five-star hotels, for a hotel of the same star rating to truly stand out, it may need to embody a refined yet noble form of “understated luxury.” The Upper House embodies exactly that. From its extremely minimalist entrance lobby, take the escalator up to the second floor with its sky garden, then ride the elevator upward—what you see before your eyes consists of just a few simple colors: light wood tones, pale furniture, and light gray floor mats. The rooms are the same, yet this simplicity is not the no-frills practicality of a two- or three-star hotel, but rather a lazy, top-tier sensory indulgence that unfolds throughout every corner of the room.

On the booking website Agoda, The Upper House is most beloved by travelers for its stunning window views from the rooms. And indeed, the rooms are beautiful, designed by Hong Kong designer Andre Fu, who incorporates natural materials and sculptures throughout the hotel space. The most stunning feature is the spacious bathroom—approximately ten tatami mats in size—where a square bathtub is placed in the center. At night, turn off the lights, draw back the curtains, and lie in the tub as the unobstructed view of Hong Kong’s mountain-and-sea night scenery fills your vision. Pairing the experience with REN, a renowned English brand of bath and body care products, creates a truly wonderful sensation after a long day of shopping and sightseeing in Hong Kong.

Taiwanese travelers should take note: in the bathroom, The Upper House has specially placed wooden art pieces by Taiwanese artist Fan Jiangmingdao. These artworks display the soft beauty of wood grain lines, blending seamlessly with the hotel space. Through this artistic method of wooden regeneration, even though the pieces are placed in a corner, they brighten the overall spatial perspective, extending the visual field through the wood grain textures.

“The name ‘The Upper House’ in English carries not only the meaning of wanting to move upwards, but also the desire to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy good rest,” said Tang Wing-ho, Guest Room Department Manager of The Upper House. Built above the 38th floor, the hotel offers panoramic views of Hong Kong’s night scenery. Every corner of the room is a space for guests to relax and enjoy, complemented by humanized eco-friendly design that places great emphasis on the sensory experience of guests.

For example, the hotel has eliminated paper-based printed menus, opting instead for smart PADs. Guests can simply browse the menu on the tablet screen and place their orders with ease, making the process more accurate and convenient compared to traditional paper-based ordering. Additionally, to provide refined beverage service, all non-alcoholic drinks at the in-room mini-bar are complimentary. There’s also a capsule coffee machine and over ten types of tea, which can be paired with four different glass jars of snacks and sweets—an exceptionally thoughtful touch.

Also worth mentioning is the bed in the hotel, which uses an independent pocket spring mattress coupled with a down comforter. It’s comfortable and plush, making you feel as if you’ve sunk into a warm duvet, yet soft enough that it doesn’t cause discomfort or back pain for the elderly. The comforter wraps around you with a sense of serene coziness, and with the Hong Kong night view after the lights go out, you can enjoy a dreamless, deep sleep.
