The Upper House
Getting there
Perched above chic Pacific Place, Hong Kong Island's revamped shopping and business complex, the Upper House enjoys a super-convenient location in Admiralty district, just a stroll east of Central.
- Planes Fly into Hong Kong International Airport (www.hkairport.com), on Chek Lap Kok just north of Lantau Island, a 35-minute drive from the hotel.
- Trains The Upper House is a just a few minutes' stroll from Admiralty station on the cheap and slick MTR (Mass Transit Railway; www.mtr.com.hk), Hong Kong's well-connected subway. The MTR's speedy, regular Airport Express takes about 23 minutes to reach Central; from there just change to the blue Island Line (direction Chai Wan) for the one-stop ride to Admiralty or grab a cab. It's also on the red Tsuen Wan Line. The nearest major rail station is in Hung Hom on Kowloon, 25 minutes' drive away, for connections from Guangzhou.
- Automobiles For a hassle-free ride from or to the airport, the hotel can organise a transfer in one of its comfy Lexus RX450H hybrid chauffeured cars, which comes with bottled water, newspaper and WiFi connection (HK$700 a car each way).
- Others The famous Star Ferry crosses the harbour from Kowloon to Central or Wan Chai ferry pier, both of which are close to the hotel. Atmospheric trams also serve the area.
