The Upper House, a Hong Kong legend
#4 of World's 50 Best Hotels 2023
The Upper House showcases the innovation and adventurism that defines the prime trader and developer, the Swire, and that never goes out of fashion. This 117 keys property has enjoyed immense popularity since the opening in 2009, on the upper levels of an eighties skyscraper in Admiralty, as the inaugural hotel to be designed by André Fu and the cornerstone for his later glowing career. The glimpse of the verdant and futuristic Pacific Place marks an entry into the quiet, timeless yet undoubtedly luxurious sanctuary.
The Siam, an imaginarium of high design and service excellence
#42 of World's 50 Best Hotels 2023
Wintertime in Taipei has never been too harsh, yet I always desire a Siamese sojourn and yearn for the Indochinese sunshine and inspirational exoticism before the winter solstice. The languorous riverside of the Chao Phraya always summons me back. Literature by Swain and Duras has been my best travel company as I lounge in the afternoon with the view of all the vessels painting the vibrant city daily.
