The Upper House

Despite being nestled within Pacific Place, Hong Kong's bustling commercial and retail complex, this intimate property offers the feel of a private residence. Asian chic best describes the style — a subtle blend of neutral tones, clean lines and Oriental accents. The guest rooms are notably large and feature walk-in rain showers, freestanding bathtubs and panoramic harbor or island views from both the bedrooms and bathrooms. As for the thoughtful details, they range from personal iPod touch systems stocked with local recommendations to Lexus RX 450h town car service. Café Gray Deluxe emphasizes organic produce, while the 49th-floor Sky Lounge offers a dramatic setting for evening drinks. Those seeking escape from the overstimulating streets of Hong Kong need look no further than the sixth floor, home to a quiet lawn and garden.
