"Much more high-class"/"Higher-class"

I realize that these two expressions must be used differently due to the fact that they're of different lexical categories.

But what I'm more concerned about is whether the former is even being said/used at all?
That's how I'd construct the adjective if I had to describe the situation.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it certainly sounds natural enough to me; no doubt I've said it. I suggest that the first is said with less slightly less mental preparation (i.e. when the adjective has not yet been chosen in the process of the utterance).

I'm sorry—I thought your understanding of the language was better. The point I was trying to make was a very subtle one which needn't worry you at this stage of your learning; it was just a possible nuance.

It really depends on the context. Much more high-class - is less of the natural choice for the reason explained by Mr MM. If this is to describe a restaurant or hotel, thse are the better suggestions: " much classier ", "much more up-scale ". or " much more high-end"
