Swire’s Upper House in Hong Kong launches Opening Promotion

The Upper House, Swire Hotels’ first property in Hong Kong, will officially open on 2 October 2009.

In celebration, the new hotel, located within Pacific Place on Hong Kong Island, has launched an exclusive ‘two nights-for-one’ offer for the first 90 days with rates starting from HK$3,388 for a 730sq ft Island View Studio 70.

The Upper House has been designed by renowned Hong Kong architect Andre Fu of AFSO with the use of natural materials, distinctive sculptures and original artwork throughout to create the feel of a sophisticated and modern residence.

The 117 spacious rooms, including 21 suites and 2 penthouses, are among the largest in Hong Kong – starting at 730sq ft – and feature panoramic harbour or islands views.

The bathrooms alone are all over 300 sq ft, with panoramic views and including walk-in rain showers, free-standing limestone clad baths, double vanities and separate dressing areas.

The hotel incorporates the latest in-room technology: interactive hotel information, music and games via iPod Touch, complimentary wired and wireless high speed internet, LCD TVs with 2.1 surround sound, and simple connectivity for PCs, camcorders and MP3s. Guestroom amenities also include complimentary refreshments from the in-room Maxi-Bar and espresso machine.

‘Café Gray Deluxe’ is a highlight of The Upper House and is located on Level 49 overlooking Hong Kong’s iconic Victoria Harbour. Accessed by a spectacular ‘Sky Bridge’ over a 40-metre high atrium, the 21st Century ‘grand café’, serving Modern European Classics, marks the return of celebrated Chef Gray Kunz to Hong Kong from New York where he earned widespread acclaim.

“This highly individualised small hotel with a dynamic restaurant will help showcase the recent revitalisation of Pacific Place and provide a welcome retreat for both business and leisure guests,” said Dean Winter, General Manager, The Upper House.
