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).
The look and feel of The Upper House is more residential than standard-issue hotel, with creamy, neutral tones, sleek, modernist furnishings and sizable studios stocked with high tech toys (iTouch iPods loaded with music and hotel information, LCD TVs, wine fridges, espresso machines).
Famed chef Gray Kunz’s Cafe Gray Deluxe serves updated classics (think gourmet burgers and other comfort fare), while the bar and lounge delivers potent cocktails and incredible views.
