Even in a city with so many world-class hotels, The Peninsula—opened in 1928 and the luxury brand's flagship—stands apart from the rest, an oasis of old-world glamour, with Kowloon and harbor views that'll make you feel like you own Hong Kong and high-ceiling, apartment-like rooms furnished with chic, residential-style elegance and updated with guest-oriented technology. Amenities here include multiple bedside adapters, LED touch-screen wall panels (available in 11 languages), interactive digital tablets, and wireless phones with complimentary VOIP long-distance. Eating and drinking options range from Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant Spring Moon to award-winning French at Gaddi’s, fine dining in the Philippe Starck–designed Felix to Swiss classics in the chalet-style Chesa. Of course, there's the reimagined afternoon-tea service in the lobby and swank cocktails at aptly named The Bar. There's also a pool and fitness center, and, as with all Peninsulas, a top-of-the-line spa incorporating Asian healing traditions. It all comes together with impeccable service, and—for those not minding the bank—can be accented with experiences like private helicopter tours and dim sum \"journeys.\"
