Rough Guide "Possibly the grandest hotel in Hong Kong, the Peninsula has been putting visitors up in unrivalled style since the late 1920s."

Those doing business on the Hong Kong side or who prefer to avoid the onslaught of Kowloon shoppers may prefer the equally excellent but less grand Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental on Hong Kong Island.

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?"
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Opened in October 2009, the boutique hotel The Upper House, sister to Beijing’s trendy Opposite House hotel, occupies the top floors of a Pacific Place tower (thus, the name)." Full review

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
