Frommer's "A popular choice for business travelers, the majority of whom are American... Sterling service... which is probably one reason why repeat guests make up more than 55% of hotel occupancy." Full review
Fodor's "You might feel like a '70s tycoon amid murals, fountains, and crystal chandeliers in the lobby, and the feeling extends to the spacious rooms decorated in warm colors."
Oyster Luxury
"This luxury hotel lives up to the Shangri-La brand's stellar reputation, but there are a few small details that prevent it from being a true five-pearl property." Full review
Michelin Guide "The first thing to strike you will be the size and grandeur of the lobby, with its marble, sparkling chandeliers and tiered water fountain."
Star Service "This hotel boasts a Hong Kong harbor-front location and views similar to those of the InterContinental Hong Kong, but at a lower price." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars

Travel + Leisure "-room hotel on Kowloon's Tsim Sha Tsui East waterfront, with floor-to-ceiling bay windows in every room." Full review

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."
Star Service "This contemporary boutique-hotel stands alone in Admiralty next to its big-boy neighbors Conrad, JW Marriott and Shangri-La, but it continues to hold its own in both luxury and service." Full review

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?"

Travel + Leisure "More pied-à-terre than hotel, this contemporary-style 117-room property in a Central tower is all about subtle details." Full review
