    Located on Pacific Place, next to the J.W. Marriott, this ultra high-end getaway starts at 6000 HKD (773 USD) for its smallest suite. With spectacular floor to ceiling windows in every room, I found myself in a staring daze with Hong Kong's skyscrapers and city lights more than once. Each bathroom comes with an elegant tub and waterfall shower separate from each other, as well as remote control blinds to give yourself ultimate privacy in every room. Countless celebrities and high-end clients roll through, while I was there the boy band Big Bang were guests for a few nights. This hotel contracts out their own security for personal body guards if needed, the screaming fans outside couldn't even get close. There are three things I do when I stay at hotels such as these to test their customer service. First, I ask the concierge for items that may be difficult to get. I have sensitive skin and there's only one type of razor blade I can use, I requested it. They had to go online to find it, and then they actually called to verify if it was the one. It was. They retrieved the product as well as some miscellaneous items I needed and I was beyond impressed with the 20 minute retrieval time. Next, I get close to the front desk staff and see how well they interact with their guests. The next morning I received a candle from the front desk with a note, asking me how my night was (I had told them about my cousin's birthday party) and wished me a great day. I was so flattered. Brownie Points. Lastly, I order room service. The most pretentious order you can possibly make, I request. Not to be ridiculous but to see how far the hotel will go to accommodate me. I requested different milks, I asked for substitutions for a vegan diet, I even asked for something not on the menu and they said it would be no problem to get (I asked for KFC drum sticks). The food was above average. I stayed here for a week, and constantly asked to change rooms for different views each day and different suite types to see what their other rooms are like. They accommodated me above and beyond my expectations. The more expensive rooms had additional amenities such as a to-go battery pack to charge your smartphone to and rose oil for the bathtub as well as a sewing kit and a HDMI cord in case you wish to stream from your laptop. This hotel doesn't have a spa or a pool, and it only occupies 10-12 floors that start on floor 37. Hence, the name: The Upper House. I loved my stay here and I even left some things behind to see if they would have them in the Lost and Found a day or two later... They kept my hoodie and notebook (which I was surprised they kept) and they offered to mail it back to me internationally, now that's what I call ultimate service. Kudos. xoxo

    Awesome shower with a hidden perimeter floor drain.

    The Upper House was an oasis for my wife and I while visiting Hong Kong for four nights in March. The incredible accommodations, impeccable service and convenient location all combined for us to consider the Upper House one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. We can't wait to visit Hong Kong again in the future and stay here. Our room on the 40th floor overlooked Victoria Harbor and was huge with just over half the space dedicated to a massive bathroom. One enters the palatial room through a large wooden door via a fancy 3D holographic key card, which handily has the hotel address in Chinese on the reverse side, into a small foyer with the first of several pieces of original sandstone art. The theme seems to be nuts and seed as the other sculpture at the end of the hallway in the room was that of a giant pistachio nut and my favorite in the entire hotel. I asked at the front desk and was told they have over 300 original pieces of sandstone sculpture. Also in the foyer by the door are the first of several lighting controls that magically control all the lighting throughout the room. From the foyer, one enters the bedroom to find a large, super comfy king size bed. On either side of the bed are nightstands with more controls for the lighting, do not disturb and service lights and the two sets of curtains. The bedroom window juts out in the shape of a triangle where they have placed a similarly shaped sofa. Also in the bedroom is a nice desk area with an array of power, usb and audio/video outlets. In the desk drawer, one can find an array of cables to hook most anything up to the TV and audio system as well as stationary, eraser and even correction tape. In the cabinet to the left of the desk is the maxi bar, a refrigerator loaded with complimentary beer, soda and water as well as wine and champagne to purchase. In the right cabinet are several jars of free snacks including my favorite gummy bears along with a super fancy Illy espresso machine. Heck there was even a toaster in one of the drawers, a first for me to find in a hotel room that didn't come wit a kitchen. The large screen TV is the hub of all things video and audio. From there you can watch complimentary recent movies or listen to a host of audio selections that can be piped into the bathroom if desired. They offered standard radio along with Spotify and several well curated Internet radio station including our new favorite jazz station from NYC. Moving from the bedroom, one slides a wooden door to enter the rest of the suite which is dedicated for the bathroom and dressing room. To the left is the large bath tub and fantastic shower with another large triangle shaped window jutting out creating even more space. This window also offers remotely controlled blinds to provide privacy at night. The bath tub has a host of fine amenities my wife loved and faces a large mirrored wall that houses a second TV. Only complaint from my wife was the back of the tub was too upright for her but she did enjoy the nice pillow provided. The shower was an incredible huge slab of stone as the floor with a hidden perimeter drain, a wall mounted and removable shower head and another overhead rain shower head to boot. Hot water was instant with hardly a wait and the temperature never fluctuated. Two super plush bath robes are provided along with several pairs of slippers. Across from the bathing area is a huge dressing room with a large lighted make up mirror and seat for the morning prep work. Opposite the dressing table was a large closet with multiple drawers and these big chunky wooden hangers. There is a room safe, umbrella and shoe stretchers provided in the closet but not an iron or iron board. The latter are easily obtained with a phone call if necessary. Moving down a hallway from the dressing room was the commode in a separate sparse alcove with a telephone and writing pad for any thoughts that may come to you. Service is outstanding at the Upper House from check-in time to when one finally has to depart. We were warmly greeted every time we entered the hotel and when leaving offered assistance with any directions or transportation we may have needed. It didn't take long at all for the staff to know us by name. In the morning when we would head upstairs for breakfast, they would clean our room for the day and have everything replenished by the time we returned from eating. Our only service complaint is we found the people working in the upstairs lounge to be very aloof always on the phone or working on a laptop never greeting us once the several times we visited. The view up there is outstanding though and well worth a visit or two. There are numerous large coffee table books spread throughout the space for enjoyment. We quickly discovered this to be our favorite spot in the hotel. Oh well lots more to share but I hit the text limit for reviews that I wasn't aware existed.

    Was looking forward to brunch here and felt good when we were seated at a semi private table away from the open seating area. Too bad the open kitchen next to us had a loud ventilation system that was not working well with contant greasy smells wafting over. We ultimately moved tables. The beef tartar was salty in some areas and bland in others topped with limp chips. So disappointing! The shepherds pie was ok, nothing to write home about.

    Minimalist in style and service. Amazing views and a very nice bathroom. The service is a bit stark, there is no one around when you need them kind of thing and you don't want to get on the phone for help in the lobby( area at the top of the tall escalator). The gym is less than adequate. For a grand a night it wasn't worth it for me. After five nights I missed the Marriott next door especially their great breakfast.

    Awesome beef braised ribs!  Fantastic flavor!

    Awesome dinner on arrival into Hong Kong and relaxing night with friends after 24 hours of travel time! Great ambience and nice views of Hong Kong!

Filled with shops, high & low, food and easy access to convenience stores like 7/11 on the MTR level. Easy walk out to neighborhoods like Wan Chai for local eats, and strolled a little further to Central or CWB! Be sure to do booking/resy for restaurants - seems to be the way to go. The hotel itself is well maintained. The rooms are beautiful, even is it's a little dated in some areas (bathroom) but the views are amazing looking at the hills, trees and houses above. Love that they provide international plugs already, so no need to have your converters. Hospitality: staff are all friendly, warm and welcoming. They always greet their guests with a smile. Housekeeping team - top notch! I'm so glad we picked JW, over the Conrad (ugh don't ask, had the worse experience in Singapore)... since we are members of both rewards programs. I feel like the JW is more on brand as their top tier namesake. I'm happy to be a Marriott Bonvoy member and excited for more stays! Pro tip: with the Marriott Bonvoy, you get late check out, so if you decide on a late flight, you don't need to rush. Just ask Concierge to make a note of it.

One of its biggest perks is the direct access to the Admiralty MTR station right beneath the hotel, making it incredibly easy to explore the city. Also below the hotel is a sleek, modern shopping mall packed with dining and retail options--though for my taste, it leaned a bit too polished and commercial. That said, just a short walk away is Bakehouse, an excellent spot for egg custard tarts and other baked treats. You'll also find several well-known roast goose restaurants in the area, which are absolutely worth seeking out. Inside, the hotel is clean, contemporary, and staffed by a genuinely attentive team. The lobby is stunning, with massive windows offering sweeping views of the city and harbor. Our room (2002) was spacious and well-appointed, with comfortable beds, a pillow menu, generous bathroom featuring both a tub and shower, and plenty of canned water on hand. Our corner room's wraparound windows provided panoramic views, and the blackout drapes--controlled remotely--did a great job blocking the early morning light. The outdoor pool and bar were open until 10 p.m., which our family appreciated after long, hot days exploring Hong Kong.

The concierge team is especially helpful with recommendations and securing restaurant reservations which made navigating the city much easier. The executive lounge is a great perk and the food there is genuinely well made, not just standard hotel fare. Garden Cafe breakfast has a smaller selection, but everything is fresh, the coffee is good and there is plenty of seating if you go before 9am. The gym is on the smaller side compared to other Conrad's, but it is well equipped. I really appreciate that they have a barbell with plenty of weight, enough to lift well over 200KG, along with a smith machine, back machines, chest press, leg machines, a treadmill, bike and ski erg. It covers everything you need for a solid workout while traveling. The overall aesthetic of the rooms and lobby feels timeless and well maintained. The hotel sits above a very large shopping center and the elevators give you direct access to both the mall and the train system which is incredibly convenient. Overall, the Conrad Hong Kong is a well run, comfortable and thoughtfully designed hotel. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Hong Kong.

The rooms are clean and are of decent size. There isn't a lot of closet storage space for suitcases, so we ended up storing our larger suitcases in the room itself. We had some difficulty because some of the elevators were being repaired so we had some difficulty/fairly long wait times getting to and from our rooms on the 60th floor.

    "It's a dump." Those…read morewere the first words out of my mouth when we stepped into our room at the Cosmo. It's about the size of a large closet. The beds are less beds and more cots. They're comically tiny. When I lie down, my feet hang over the edge. The two beds are also frustratingly close together, so we actually wound up moving one of them entirely. We turned it around and shoved it closer to the bathroom. (To be fair, aside from being insanely small, the bed is relatively comfortable.) The room is otherwise really rundown and shoddy. There is virtually no storage space, so I'll have to live out of my suitcase the week I'm here. The cramped bathroom smells pretty bad, too, especially after you use the sink. I definitely won't dare drink any of that water. Another weird thing is the humidity of the room. It doesn't matter what you set the temperature to: you always feel damp. On the plus side, the WiFi is pretty fast. Ultimately I don't think I would've been so upset if the webpage hadn't been completely misleading. The site makes the Cosmo seem like a luxurious hotel, when it's actually about the caliber of a cheap roadside motel. The amount we paid for the room is much, much more than it deserves. What a scam.

I understand, but the stained glass windows to keep you out of the view of the cemetery doesn't help. Location: you'd have to walk 15 minutes to get anywhere such as Times Square and the MTR, but to be fair, the hotel offers shuttle service to those areas. Staff: The front desk staff were friendly and professional. The housekeeping went into our rooms and did cleaning when we clearly had DO NOT DISTURB sign hanging from the door. I was fearful we had valuable items stolen, but fortunately nothing went missing. The room: There's a bed literally 2 feet to the desk, bathroom, window, and closet. The room smelled funny and was located in an odd corner. Their bathrooms are updated and clean. I could deal with the cramped space, but see what we found that was beyond unacceptable: Under the bed sheet and on the mattress cover was a huge, dried, yellow URINE stain, smack dab in the middle. It has obviously been there for a very long time. Disgusting. After complaining, a front staff came to confirm the problem. She seemed unapologetic and not at all surprised, but she did have all the bedding changed for us. Horrible experience.

If U walk in, U might mistake it as a typical residence/office lobby.
