We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

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.

For drinks with a view, head to the Sky Lounge on the 49th floor, where you’ll find a fireplace, furniture accented in soft greens and blues, and killer vistas.
Salisterra brings flavors from the South of France and Italy in a relaxed setting. The restaurant's striking bar serves cocktails crafted with housemade ingredients, including pickles, infused tinctures and seasonal garnishes.
