Opened in October 2009, the boutique hotel The Upper House, sister to Beijing’s trendy Opposite House hotel, occupies the top floors of a Pacific Place tower (thus, the name).
The look and feel of The Upper House is more residential than standard-issue hotel, with creamy, neutral tones; sleek, modernist furnishings; and sizable studios stocked with high-tech toys (like iTouch iPods loaded with music and hotel information, LCD TVs, wine fridges, espresso machines).
Crowning the top floor is Salisterra, an elevated neighborhood bistro inspired by the colors and flavors of the Mediterranean. And if you want another option within Pacific Place, The Continental is a sophisticated European-inspired café with a classically influenced menu and a tranquil year-round terrace.
