Congratulations on The Upper House turning 10. What are some of your favourite memories relating to the property?

There are so many highlights and wonderful memories over the past 10 years. The most rewarding one would be seeing the general growth of our team and property. The Upper House has set itself apart as a destination of its own in Hong Kong. We receive great reviews across various social media platforms and are currently ranked number one amongst all hotels in Hong Kong. It is gratifying to see how our how team helps our guests have extraordinary experiences.

Tell us about the celebrations that have been planned.

We are planning a party at the end of September that will be true to The Upper House's style with unique pop-ups and entertainment. We are inviting friends and supporters to celebrate with us and hope everyone will feel welcomed and enjoy the night.

There have been quite a number of new hotel openings in Hong Kong of late. What do you think sets The Upper House apart?
