Why Upper House Hong Kong is our pick for business travel
Upper House sits above Admiralty MTR station, an interchange of the Island, Tsuen Wan, South Island and East Rail lines, and is connected to the tram; the hotel puts Central minutes away. Admiralty is the eastern extension of the business district and the home of the Central Government Complex. The Studio 70 measures 68 m², the largest entry room of the ranking. The gym is open 24 hours, Salisterra serves breakfast from 06:30, its bar stays open until 01:00, and the Maxi Bar in the room is free.
Its limits for a working trip: there is no Airport Express station in the building, and the airport is about 35 minutes away by MTR from Admiralty, against about 24 minutes from Hong Kong station, which is linked to Four Seasons. None of the restaurants holds a Michelin star, and there is no club lounge. The calculated criteria of this page reward airport access and starred restaurants, and Four Seasons comes out ahead on them.
Central, Admiralty or Tsim Sha Tsui for meetings?
Central is the business district, on the island's northern shore. Four Seasons is part of the International Finance Centre, which sits above Hong Kong station; Mandarin Oriental and Mandarin Oriental The Landmark are served by Central station; The Murray, on Cotton Tree Drive facing Hong Kong Park, is about 10 minutes on foot from Central station and runs a free shuttle. Admiralty, the eastern extension of Central, has Upper House and Island Shangri-La in Pacific Place, both on Exit F of Admiralty station. For a fair at the Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai, Exhibition Centre station is one stop from Admiralty on the East Rail line, and The Hari is a 7-minute walk from it.
Tsim Sha Tsui, across the harbour, suits meetings in Kowloon. The Peninsula and Regent are on Salisbury Road. Rosewood and K11 ARTUS share Victoria Dockside: Rosewood has a direct link to an MTR station, and K11 ARTUS to Tsim Sha Tsui station, exit J2. The Ritz-Carlton is in West Kowloon, in the ICC, served by Austin and Kowloon stations, in the district of the high-speed rail terminus to mainland China.
Getting to and from the airport
Hong Kong International Airport is on Chek Lap Kok island, and the Airport Express covers the 35.3 km to the city in as little as 24 minutes. Four Seasons is linked to Hong Kong station on that line and also runs a free shuttle to the station every 30 minutes from 11:00 to 21:00; the IFC Mall escalator on the way is closed for maintenance until 30 November 2026. The Ritz-Carlton lists Kowloon station, also on the Airport Express. At Hong Kong and Kowloon stations, the airlines that take part offer in-town check-in from 24 hours up to 90 minutes before the flight.
From Upper House, the airport is about 35 minutes away by MTR from Admiralty; Forbes Travel Guide gives 28 to 45 minutes. By car, Rosewood gives 35 minutes, Island Shangri-La about 40 and Four Seasons about 45, and The Murray 45 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic. The Peninsula has a rooftop helipad, with helicopter transfers to the airport.
