Peninsula Hong Kong – Historic Luxury on the Harbour

Peninsula Hong Kong is a prestigious luxury hotel in Hong Kong, set on Kowloon Island next to the Star Ferry terminal. Once known as the “Grand Lady of the Far East”, this legendary hotel consists of an historic 1920s building and a new 30 stories tower added in 1994. Refurbished in 2013 to its old glory, albeit with modern fitting and technology, this beautiful hotel is the embodiment of total luxury. Situated in Kowloon, it forms a perfect base to explore its wetlands and country parks.

Overlooking the Hong Kong harbour, Peninsula Hong Kong has 165 rooms in the original building and 135 rooms in The Tower. All are completely remodelled and feature luxurious Italian designer furniture and large picture windows. Modern high-tech conveniences include touchscreen LED wall panels, 3D LCD TVs, Sony Blu-ray players and tablets with controls for just about everything in the room. Some of the amenities included are an area-jogging map and Nespresso machine.

Dining options at the Peninsula Hong Kong include a wide choice of restaurants serving French, Cantonese and European cuisines. There is also a Swiss and a Japanese restaurant but Felix, on the top two floors is a big a draw for its glitz, glamour and views. Leisure facilities include an indoor pool with stunning views towards Hong Kong island and a spacious spa. In the surrounds is a large wetland reserve and Kam Shan Country Park, known for its large population of macaques.
 


Stay Peninsula Hong Kong features 300 rooms and suites, spread out in the original building and in the new Tower. All rooms are elegantly decorated and come with high-end mod-cons and cool white marble bathrooms. Those wanting a classic view over Hong Kong Harbour and cityscape, can opt for the Grand Deluxe Harbour View Rooms. Superior and Deluxe Suites, located in the original building have separate sitting/ dining areas, while rooms in the tower enjoy views of Hong Kong skyline.

ChildCare Families with children are welcome to stay at The Peninsula Hong Kong. The Peninsula Kids' Academy occasionally runs cooking classes for 6-12-year olds with the hotel's chef. Rooms have special bathrobes for children as well as activity kits. Babysitting service can be arranged, upon request. 

Dine There are eight award-winning restaurants and bars at the Peninsula Hong Kong. These include Gaddi, serving the finest French gastronomy, the Philippe Starck-designed Felix and Michelin-starred Spring Moon which exudes a 1920s Shanghai ambience and serves delectable Cantonese specialities. It also has and enclosed Wine Bar and the American Bar overlooking the harbour.

Relax Leisure facilities at the Peninsula Hong Kong includes an ESPA spa, a luxurious sanctuary with several indulgent treatment rooms overlooking the harbour. There is also an indoor heated swimming pool with stunning views towards Hong Kong island, a lovely timber decked sun terrace, and fully equipped gym with steam room, sauna and Jacuzzi. 

Experience Situated on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong means guests at the Peninsula Hong Kong can easily take a short trip on the star ferry to the island for sightseeing or shopping. Back on the mainland, ride the 120-year-old funicular railway up Victoria Peak for views of the Kowloon Peninsula and the distant mountains. See the endangered Chinese giant salamanders and Pandas at the Ocean Park. Also visit Hong Kong’s Zoological and Botanical Gardens known for exotic flora and tropical birdls.
