The Peninsula Hong Kong

Hong Kong, Far East

Virgin rating

The hotel

Once in a lifetime you stay somewhere truly exceptional. Where every detail’s polished to perfection – from the Tiffany tea plates to the fleet of Rolls Royces. That’s The Peninsula. Transporting you back to the glittering 1920s, Hong Kong’s oldest hotel still promises timeless traditions, from being welcomed by white-liveried ‘Peninsula Pages’ to taking afternoon tea in the lobby, where dainty finger sandwiches, pastries and scones are served to the delicate sounds of The Lobby Strings. They also transport you deep into local life, with The Peninsula Academy providing experiences from dim sum making to caviar courses, and from helicopter tours to pastry chef classes for children. And, after all the excitement, you can retreat to your luxury guest room, perhaps overlooking the harbour, in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui.

I went to Veranda to have my 2 days breakfast during my staycations with my family. Service: All well experienced staffs r well trained with Peninsula standard. But most impressive is that they have new generations & staffs to join in. They are hard working, well mannered with pleasant smile and good observation when serving the guests!Good job! Food: A new and well experienced chef just start working here. Western, Japanese, Chinese food r all included in the buffet breakfast! Personally, I like the salad, crispy bacon ( you can request for that), different styles of eggs and Chinese food the most! If they can added more items on HK dim sum will be perfect for me,like steamed beef siu mai( the fishy one ), steamed plain vermicelli roll with sauces... They change some food items everyday so I do not have to eat all the same food during breakfast! Peak hour: 8:30-9:30a.m. From my experience,you can always starts a beautiful day when you choose to have breakfast in Veranda cause they all carry a big and warm smile to welcome you! Read less

Standards up with the best The Grande Dame did not disappoint. We arrived after a long and much delayed flight from London to be met by the super efficient and friendly reception team. Within minutes we and our luggage were in the room without any of the offers of hotel tours and welcome drinks which now seem to be the norm in other hotels when all you want to do is get to your room - spot on!! The veranda restaurant buffet was so good we used it both nights - outstanding selection and quality. Breakfasts equally good. Live music in the lobby is always excellent and provides an elegant backdrop to the superb people-watching opportunities below. It is also a special treat to be able to place your shoes in the valet box and for them to come back looking like new A blocked toilet on our last evening was dealt with by a key to a neighbouring room - please don’t let the maintenance slip. Well worth the trip Read less

I enjoyed my stay at the Peninsula. I appreciate the hotel’s flexible check-in and check-out times through PenClub, it certainly makes a big difference. The room was comfortable and incredibly well maintained, it was immediately visible that the quality of materials is very high. F&B offering was strong - I had a great lunch at Spring Moon, followed by an even better dinner at Imasa. Aside from the food being excellent, Kenneth the restaurant manager made my experience even better, he was very kind, and he kept the service flawless. SPA was stunning, I had a 2-hour treatment and also enjoyed the massive pool with its beautiful outdoor terrace. Service was consistently great, everyone was friendly and helpful, particularly Andie at the reception who gave me a tour of the hotel upon check-in. The only flaw was the breakfast - chaotic, crowded and slow. Will opt for in-room dining for breakfast next time. Otherwise - (almost) perfect hotel. Read less

This iconic hotel deserves 6 stars. It is what I call a destination hotel - the hotel itself is worthy of a stay just for the experience. This is the flagship of the Peninsula hotel chain. It is conveniently located in Kowloon at the corner of Salisbury Road and Nathan Road. We were upgraded from the Superior Harbour View Suite to the Deluxe Harbour View Suite. The view of Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong skyline is amazing. It is well worth paying for a room on a high floor with a harbour view. The suite certainly did not disappoint! It was beautifully appointed. There was even a nail dryer! The lighting, TV, and audio control panels were very easy to use. I usually sleep poorly in hotels but the bed was so comfortable that I had no trouble. The attention to detail is amazing; there is hardly any trace of plastic in the room - the bathroom skincare comes in metal tubes and the bag for wet swimwear is biodegradable. A lens cleaning cloth was placed next to my spectacles case. My messy handphone charging cable was neatly wrapped up with a leather cable. The fruit basket was replenished daily as were dainty snacks for tea. We had the very popular classic afternoon tea in the lounge; this was very pleasant with sandwiches, petit fours, and scones. There is a huge selection of teas as expected. Felix, the rooftop bar, is a must. It was designed by Phillippe Starck and it is simply stunning. The Peninsula house champagne and canapes were very good. The bathroom is a must-see (I won't spoil the surprise). I particularly liked the chair cushion covers which featured photos of long-serving (>20 years) hotel staff. The service was impeccable. First shout out is to the staff who met us at the airport upon our arrival (sorry I didn't catch their names). I casually mentioned that I liked roast goose; when we reached the hotel the reception staff asked us if we would like a reservation at a recommended roast goose restaurant! Second shout out is to Wilson who was our airport departure handler. He went out of his way to ensure that our check-in process was fast and seamless despite the crowds. Another staff who also deserves a special mention is Ms Bira (I hope I got the spelling right). She was our Grande Dame tour guide and she showed us the Archives where the history of the hotel was carefully documented with interesting artefacts. Look out for the Annie Leibovitz photos. We had an outstanding trip and we will certainly be back. Read less
