The House Collective - A group of refined, highly individual hotels that defy comparison

Each with its own unique character and style, The House Collective is a group of refined, highly individual hotels that defy comparison. The Upper house, The Opposite House and The Temple House are all exceptionally imagined hotels for seasoned travelers who seek a different, intimate and personalized experience in luxury travel. Each of the hotels is its own sophisticated, singular piece of design, created by the talented architects and designers that enjoy a sense of place by reflecting the unique qualities of their surroundings.

Located in Hong Kong, The Upper House was designed by architect Andre Fu. A calming and contemporary hotel, the House is a haven within the city. Rising above Pacific Place, The Upper House is the culmination of an upward journey from the bustling city below to a haven of tranquility and peace.

The design of The Upper House embodies the idea of an upward journey, inviting guests through an atmospheric entrance, the journey takes you to the spacious guests rooms, the largest on offer in Hong Kong, and on to the hotels’ Sky Bridge on level 49, featuring a skylight above a 40-metre high atrium which leads to the Sky Lounge and the hotels signature restaurant & bar, Café Gray Deluxe.
