The Upper House

Character and identity

Occupying the upper floors of a Pacific Place tower in Admiralty, this 117-room hotel reads more as a vertical residence than a conventional five-star. Andre Fu's interiors set the tone: creamy neutrals, Japanese-inflected restraint, a curated art collection threading the 10-storey atrium, and rooms that all sit at least 38 floors above the street. On 49, Salisterra delivers Mediterranean cooking under culinary advisor Ricardo Chaneton, with the adjacent Green Room handling cocktails and a weekly Moonlight DJ series. Service is warm and intuitive: arrivals are escorted straight to in-room check-in, and wellness happens through in-room treatments and rotating residencies rather than a fixed spa.

Who's it for

Bottom line

What you are paying for here is the Andre Fu room product, the high-altitude calm, and a top-floor restaurant-and-bar pairing that genuinely competes with the city's best. Book an Upper Suite for the wrap-around harbour views and the apartment-like proportions, and time a visit around a Moonlight night at the Green Room or a wellness residency worth planning around.
