While other luxury hotel chains go for the Big Bang Glitzy look, which tends to attract an equally gaudy clientele to match, the Swire Hotels has decided to go in the opposite direction with Upper House, its latest hotel in Hong Kong. Elegant and understated, the hotel will be appreciated by travelers who are a bit tired of the coldly efficient business hotels that dot the city. There are three types of rooms: studios, upper suites and penthouses. Rates at Upper House start at HK$2888 (US$370; €260) for the studios.
