Hailed as one of the world’s finest hotels, the Peninsula Hong Kong offers a blend of Eastern and Western hospitality in an atmosphere of classical grandeur and timeless elegance. While it once served as emergency military accommodation, it is better known for playing host to glamorous Hollywood stars and for being the center of the city’s vibrant social life. In fact, the Peninsula was the venue for Hong Kong’s best parties and balls, which drew the rich and titled.

This glamour continues to be reflected in the colonial-style hotel’s opulent furnishings and spacious interiors. It is also highlighted by the fleet of 15 chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce limousines and the helicopter shuttle service that it operates to ferry guests to and from the airport and around the buzzing city.

With its close proximity to Hong Kong’s busiest shopping districts and its famous cultural attractions like the Hong Kong Museum of Art and Temple Street Night Market, guests have easy access to the amazing sights and sounds of Hong Kong.

But when you do need a break from the city’s exciting nightlife, the Peninsula’s lavishly appointed guestrooms provide the perfect place to relax with their old world charm, advanced conveniences and breathtaking views of Victoria Harbor.
