Following the successful launch of its first hotel, The Opposite House in Beijing, Swire Hotels is to unveil its second hotel, The Upper House, in Hong Kong this October.
The hotel will be located within Pacific Place in Admiralty — an integrated commercial, retail, and hospitality complex on Hong Kong island.
The hotel's 117 rooms, all featuring scenic harbour or island views, including 21 suites and 2 penthouses, are all at least 70 square meters in area and are claimed to be the largest in Hong Kong. The bathrooms which are over 30 square meters are framed with panoramic windows, come with walk-in rain showers, dressing areas and deep soaking baths.
Cafe Gray Deluxe, a 21st century 'grand cafe' located on the 49th floor overlooking Victoria Harbour, features a 14 meter long open kitchen and an equally long bar.
For outdoor entertaining there is lawn on the sixth floor and a sky lounge on the 49th floor.
The name, 'The Upper House', is derived from the design philosophy of an upward journey from Queensway towards Pacific Place.
The Upper House is designed by Hong Kong architect Andre Fu of AFSO with the use of natural materials, distinctive sculptures, and original artwork. The contemporary Oriental design is said to echo an understated feeling of residential calmness.
"Our goal is to create a highly individualized small hotel with a dynamic and busy restaurant, and to help in showcasing the revitalized Pacific Place," said Brian Williams, managing director of Swire Hotels.
