The Peninsula Hong Kong Review

Established in 1928, The Peninsula is an oasis of Old World glamour amid the chaos of Tsim Sha Tsui. Anyone who has savored classic high tea with live chamber music in the lobby, or sipped cocktails at the bar of the Philippe Starck-designed Felix restaurant with its panoramic views of the territory, can attest to this. When staying here, guests have a choice of accommodations in the original building, with its high-ceiling apartment-like suites, or in the newer upper wing, where Kowloon and harbor views from suites equipped with iron telescopes make you feel like you own Hong Kong. All rooms are furnished to reflect the territory's colonial heritage, complete with marbled bathrooms, but also include modern audio-visual systems, outside weather indicators, mood lighting, and remote-controlled curtains. In celebration of its 81st anniversary, the Peninsula added two MINI Clubman cars to its already famous fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms, so grab the included iPhone with GPS and go for a complimentary scenic ride far away from the crowds.

Remarkable - absolute indulgence! High tea is a must to experience, beautiful surrounds and very relaxing.

(To begin, and please note, the sole reason for my '4 Value' rating : its incomparable Bangkok 'sister', a Thai business travel (and occasional pleasure) property so special, have yet to bring myself to review for fodors.) ... Now, have stayed at the Peninsula HK on only a few occasions with the better half (and purely pleasure : my main HK work hotel is the Island Shangri-La), and each visit has been sublime. ... Our visits have been partially (primarily) prompted by 'suite life' and 'corporate rate' promotions. ... On one occasion, we did 'splurge' with the full-on Rolls Royce transfer service : forever kudos to our HK RR drivers, Mr. T and Mr. W; the hotel's 'main man', Mr. B; and finally Mr. L, with the airport check-in and departure formalities, via yes, Singapore Airlines. ... As for our accommodations : amazing 'deja vu' re the room/suite 'electronics' with its Thai sister. ("Are we still in Bangkok?!") ... And, as for 'the view', well, can't help but recommend that Hong Kong evening harbour panorama ... (and sweet dreams, with your loved one.)
