This year, The Upper House celebrates 10 years of unparalleled personalised service and understated luxury. To commemorate the occasion, The Upper House invites guests to share in its remarkable journey and experience what makes it extraordinary with “Our 10 Year Journey” room package. Café Gray Deluxe presents a Wine Pairing Celebration Menu featuring a range of 2009 vintages to complement a specially curated four-course menu.
In 2009, Swire Hotels opened the doors to its second House of The House Collective, with the goal to create a highly individualised small luxury hotel that would break with convention. This has been embodied in the sophisticated and modern design reminiscent of an Asian inspired residence, and the passionate team members who continue to redefine hospitality. The team’s dedication has been awarded with international recognition, most recently Trip Advisor 2019 Travellers’ Choice Award Winner – #1 Top 25 Luxury Hotels China, #3 Top 25 Luxury Hotels Asia, and Condé Nast Traveller Gold List 2019 Winner – Best Hotel in China.
General Manager, Marcel Thoma, who has been with The Upper House since the beginning, shares his sentiment, “Many colleagues have been with us since pre-opening and it is such an honour to share this milestone together. They have contributed so much to the company’s success and seen their own professional growth. I am so grateful to have such a fabulous team. We believe our team members are what defines a luxury experience.”

Designed to appeal to the most discerning travellers, each excursion can be further curated to guests’ interests or expectations. Edward Tang, Director of Guest Experience and The Food Guru at The Upper House says, “We need to understand our guests’ personalities in order to make suitable recommendations instead of providing them with cookie-cutter suggestions from guidebooks. I enjoy exploring a variety of traditional, new and alternative dining experiences in my personal time so that I can make the right recommendation.”
Café Gray Deluxe – Wine Pairing Celebration Menu
Available from 1-31 October 2019, Café Gray Deluxe will present a special four-course Wine Pairing Celebration Menu, priced at HK$1,260 per person. The dishes include Hokkaido Scallops, Grilled Red Snapper, or Slow Braised Veal Cheek and Chocolate Délice to finish.
Wine improves with age and dining experience improves with wine. Award-winning Chef Sommelier, Leo Au has handpicked a selection of 2009 vintages to complement the dishes on the Celebration Menu. Leo says, “2009 was not only a good year for our hotel’s opening, but also for wine. With optimal weather in Europe throughout the year, 2009 wines are one of the most opulent vintages.”
Partnering with pioneering sparkling wine producer Nyetimber, those reserving a table for 10 people or more will also receive an exclusive preview of the world’s first Prestige Cuvee English Sparkling Wine, Nyetimber 1086 Rosé in magnum, available for the first time in Hong Kong.
Nyetimber’s most prestigious wine, 1086 is the ultimate expression of owner Eric Heerema’s vision and his confidence in England’s ability to produce world-class sparkling wines. 1086 is made of a selection from a precious treasury of over 90 exceptional wines superbly crafted by Head Winemaker Cherie Spriggs.
Café Gray Deluxe – 10 Year Wine list
Wine lovers can also delight in the Café Gray Deluxe 10 Year Wine List. The wine list features a range of 2009 vintages from established brands that show a glimpse of what happened in the vineyards the same year The Upper House opened its doors. On the second part of the wine list, Leo meticulously chooses a diverse selection of hidden gems from up-and-coming vineyards that are worth looking out for in the next ten years, including wine from Portugal, China and Bulgaria. The wine list is available from now until 31 December 2019.
