Dear Mitriel,
You may say «I showed him the way upstairs».

Hi Goldmund,
I'm going to say that 'lead' is preferred in this case where the speaker is going along with him...unless of course the speaker is behind the other person, which could be sometimes the case, I suppose --as in the rear guard.

Also "I showed him upstairs", maybe.
Definitely not "I took her upstairs".
