Overview
Here, everything begins with space, a rarity in Hong Kong. The Upper House opened in 2009 with only 117 rooms, each measuring no less than 68 square metres. This is not just a brochure detail; it transforms your arrival after a long-haul flight and alters the way you experience your room. You do not step into a well-designed urban box; instead, you take possession of a tranquil volume, crafted for more than just a night’s stay. Dining is anchored by Salisterra, located on the top floor, which has been awarded 1 Michelin star, with Ricardo Chaneton appearing as culinary consultant in 2025. If you wish to quickly grasp the essence of this establishment, start there. Then, order the Galician Lemonade, a delightful blend of Nordés gin, Ceylon tea, lemon, pineapple, and rosemary. The rest follows the same thoughtful approach: a more discreet bar, Green Room, clear-cut breaks at The Tea Room, and a suspended garden named The Lawn. Even the access maintains this precise tone: expect about a 40-minute journey from Hong Kong International Airport. In a city immortalised countless times by Wong Kar-wai, this house opts for restraint and holds to it until the end.
