Since 1928, Hong Kong's original luxury hotel commands Victoria Harbour with white-gloved ceremony, afternoon tea rituals, and dedicated green Rolls-Royce transfers.
“You know you’re somewhere special when pillbox-hatted pageboys politely whisk open double-front doors to reveal an airy lobby with soaring ceilings.”
What it’s good at
Exceptional
White-uniformed pageboys, a dedicated Rolls-Royce fleet, and silent valet boxes deliver intuitive hospitality.

The Peninsula is the original Hong Kong luxury hotel, still its grandest, and is the archetypal Asian colonial hotel…
“there’s nothing fusty about this landmark hotel. As the city's oldest hotel, the venue has aged gracefully, blending well-honed traditions with an ever-contemporary approach:”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, the hotel is steps from the Star Ferry pier and waterfront cultural museums.
The rooms
Champagne tones and dark lacquer frame cutting-edge multilingual touchscreens, built-in nail dryers, and deep marble tubs with embedded televisions.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and spa
Classical columns surround the 18-metre Roman-style indoor pool, and thermal suites have saunas overlooking Victoria Harbour.
The gym
The seventh-floor fitness centre looks straight out over Victoria Harbour, lined with cardio equipment and strength training machines.
At the table
Philippe Starck-designed Felix overlooks the harbour from the 28th floor, and classic dining rooms serve Michelin-starred Cantonese and French cuisine.
Arrive at The Peninsula Hong Kong in style—perhaps in one of its signature Rolls-Royce Phantoms Extended or Bentley Bentaygas gliding over Tsing Yi Bridge, or by helicopter…
How it began
Established in 1928 by the Kadoorie family across from the trans-Siberian rail terminus, the neoclassical landmark added a 30-storey tower in 1994.
“The true highlight, however, is thanks to the in-house technology team who have brought the hotel into the 21st century with state-of-the-art tablets...”
