Upper House Hotel Hong Kong review! Luxury hotels, HK harbour view hotels

Duration: 4:27
Updated: 19 Sep 2014

Travel writer and host La Carmina (http://www.lacarmina.com/blog/bio) reviews the Upper House Hotel in Hong Kong. She and her friends stay in a suite overlooking the HK harbor and skyline, and have fun exploring the giant freestanding bathtub, sculptures, Chinese tea and magical curtains. The Upper House experience is all about seamless and subtle luxury, as reflected in the zen-like architecture. The staff goes out of its way to make guests blissfully happy. Each room has peaceful design elements like "cocoon" wood sculptures, and a free-standing bathtub with a sky high view of the harbor. The most basic rooms are a costly $650 US a night, but the numerous perks and attentive service make it worth the value. ** Please SUBSCRIBE and contact La Carmina via http://www.lacarmina.com/blog/contact for travel projects, hotel and tourism board collaborations and more.
