Pool, Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong

Peninsula Hong Kong

City
Hong Kong, China

Created in 1928, The Peninsula is Hong Kong’s oldest hotel and offers a blend of Eastern and Western hospitality in an atmosphere of classical grandeur and timeless elegance.

Rooms are split between the original building and the more contemporary Tower but all offer state of the art comforts. Facilities include an indoor pool, spa and fitness centre. Arrive in style on the rooftop heli-pad, take a traditional afternoon tea or just enjoy the views across the harbour to Hong Kong Island.

Why we like The Peninsula Hong Kong

The Peninsula is an iconic building overlooking the harbour and although one of the oldest hotels in the city it manages to combine history and modernity seamlessly.

The design and operation of this holiday was excellent and took us to places that we had hardly heard of. A great experience and opportunity to sample " Old China" before it becomes overcrowded. We were very happy with the whole procedure.

China

Paul put together our trip very quickly, within a month of leaving! He did a great job and we loved the little add ons such as a cookery class and fan making. All of the guides, drivers and vehicles were amazing.
