Concierge "The entire anti–chain hotel experience is deliberately minimalist, though at times the coveted coolness is a little overplayed—the restaurant staff in particular seem brusque and self-satisfied."
Fodor's "Even standard rooms in this haven of stylish luxury are suites—tranquil havens of design and indulgence that feature huge windowside bathtubs." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Every corner of this boutique hotel spells zen-like serenity." Full review
Michelin Guide "This discreet and stylish hotel is on the wish-list of fashionistas everywhere. The clever use of art, sculpture and natural materials makes one feel on is in a private house."

Hotel owner Swire Group, which also owns hometown Cathay Pacific Airlines, is known for its efforts to maintain high standards, but the staff can occasionally turn up their noses if guests have too many special requests.
Gayot "With its understated, designer-Zen decor and urban residential mood, The Upper House makes for a discreet, relaxing home-away-from-home in Hong Kong."
BlackBook "What happens when you commandeer the upper levels of a JW Marriott and turn it into a boutique hotel?"

Rough Guide "Run by the Scouting organization, this tidy mid-range place has smart doubles facing Kowloon Park, along with triples and quads. $1800."
Fodor's "These small and no-frills rooms in a modern tower on the north side of Kowloon Park come with a bonus: views over an extensive swath of greenery or the harbor."
i
Quarters vary in size considerably, so be sure to ask for a spacious room.

"B P International is a huge mid-range hotel with an enviable location off of Kowloon Park, near shopping, tourist attractions, and major transportation lines." Full review
Frommer's "This hotel has as much charm as a dormitory, and because it serves also as the home of the Hong Kong Scout Centre (a portrait of Lord Baden Powell, founder of Scouts, hangs in the lobby), it's also popular with youth groups" Full review
