TH E FIN E R THING S
A stylishly warm and informal haven in the centre of Hong Kong, The Upper House sits atop the glossy Pacific Place shopping complex in Admiralty, the eastern end of the CBD. Owned by the UK’s Swire family through one of its holding companies, the 117-room hotel offers spectacular views of the Hong Kong skyline—even from spa- inspired bathrooms—and features natural materials and muted tones in its spacious suites. More sophisticated than the average city hotel, Upper

House is the creation of cult millennial architect Andre Fu. In his design, Fu minimised public spaces like the lobby, instead giving the meterage to guests’ suites, meaning the limestone clad bathrooms are the largest of any hotel in the city, and mini bars become “maxi bars”.

Dreamt up by 30-year-old next-generation property developer Louis Li, Jackalope was named Australia’s Hotel of the Year just a few weeks after its April 2017 opening. The son of KCC Real Estate Development Company head Jie Li moved from his native China to Melbourne to study filmmaking in 2006. He then settled on a new way of telling stories—commissioning some of Australia’s preeminent creatives to reimagine the role of art and design in the hotel space. The
result is Jackalope’s 46 designer dens in a sweeping wing overlooking a working vineyard. As well as being set in its own 11ha winery with two boutique restaurants and a cocktail bar, this moody and mythical hotel an hour’s drive from Melbourne is surrounded by 50 other cellar doors and restaurants in the rolling hills, and 20 golf courses, of which three are rated in Australia’s top 10.
