The Pen as they call it has gone through a $30 million refurbishment and its new look, easily gives it the tag of one of the finest hotels in Hongkong. The bulk of these upgrades were in guest room technology, with a focus on comfort, convenience and ease of use.
LobbyBuilt in 1928, the Peninsula Hong Kong hotel has been the playground of governor’s and mandarins; diplomats and powerbrokers for over a century. Since the premium property owns a large fleet of Rolls Royces’ – it’s only fair to say that the Peninsula Hong Kong has been engraved out as the most luxurious stay in town by competitors.
The selection of eateries in the luxurious hotel is quite impressive in style as well as quality. While fine dining at the Philippe Starck designed Felix offers stunning views of the city skyline, upscale Cantonese at Spring Moon and classic French at Gaddi’s is a food connoisseurs’ hub; although the most unique of all, Chesa, serving Swiss alpine classics like spaetzle, raclette and fondue is a personal favourite.
If you are really in the mood to splurge and be treated to utmost luxury, reserve a night at the 4,111 sq ft Peninsula Suite! Situated on the 26th floor of the Peninsula Tower, the suite has the most stunning views of Victoria Harbour from the double-height living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and the exclusive landscaped terrace.
Peninsula Suite – Living AreaThe majestic suite offers one of the most comfortable living experiences with a private living room, palatial bedrooms, bathrooms, a gym and a cinematic screening room. Rooms feature double – height ceilings and stunning views of Hongkong.
Peninsula Suite – Dining AreaA grand 10 seater dining room adorns the beautifully styled living room. Rich tones and exotic upholstery blend elegantly with the classic living room furnishings to create an elegantly designed suite.
Peninsula Suite – Bed RoomThe suite may have only one master bedroom but can be converted to a seven-bedroom spread with adjoining rooms. Since many of the visitors to the suite are diplomats and heads of state, both the CIA and M15 were consulted on the design to ensure maximum security.
