In Chengdu, meet our next House Local Yvonne Du – our Tea Master. For Yvonne, tea is her mother tongue. Born near the legendary Mengding Mountain, she knows each leaf like an old friend, translating how air and soil live in each sip. Here, she guides our House friend Tiffany, from high-mountain tea gardens to the city’s bustling teahouses – picking leaves by hand, crafting them with care, and finally raising cups in the lively chatter of locals.
This is Chengdu’s idyllic living culture: relaxed, joyful - one mindful cup at a time.
More stories from Upper House cities are brewing — stay tuned and journey with House Locals and @nownessasia .

In Hong Kong, meet Edward Tang, our Char Siu Chaser!
For Edward, the city isn’t a map; it’s a menu. Here, he takes our House friend, Olivia, on his personal Char Siu journey, from nostalgic spots to local tables. Side by side, chopsticks in hand, laughing between bites - this is the kind of journey we’d love to share with you.
Whether it’s Hong Kong, Chengdu, or Shanghai, our House Locals connect you with someone who loves their city deeply, and can’t wait to show you a different way to experience it.
Stay tuned for more episodes from our wonderful house cities, and explore them with our House Locals and NOWNESS ASIA.

From today, our Houses shall be named UPPER HOUSE. “Upper” because we aim to always be raising our game and being upstanding in whatever we do. It’s a name we look forward to living up to.

Your furry friend just became Shanghai’s newest style icon 🐾
Inspired by Shanghai’s bold street energy, we’ve curated a People and Paws Room — where your furry muse gets a try of the new adidas Original SS2026 Pet Apparel Collection.
This isn’t just a pet-friendly stay — it’s a fashion moment.
Experience all from your private terrace suite, with a special in-room pet menu, pet-themed afternoon tea, and take home a limited-edition Adidas pet bib while stocks last.
Come strut the moment together!

Our first course is never on a plate - It's the room. The light that falls, the texture that speaks and the view that holds you.
📍 Salisterra | @upperhouse_hkg
Rise above the harbour, where geometric lines trace the nightscape. The view alone is a feast.
📍 Tivano | @upperhouse_cd
Descend into a sunken Italian courtyard, where stone texture and quiet metallic lustre feel earthy and timeless.
📍 Mi Xun Teahouse | @upperhouse_cd
Drift into an open-air seat wrapped in lantern light and dreamlike stillness. Here, let time slow with every cup.
📍 Sui Tang Li | @upperhouse_sh
Step into elegant tranquillity, where Eastern and Western aesthetics gently meet in private dining rooms.
Our visual menu, served. Now the only question is: which room is yours? ✨
