The Peninsula Hong Kong

An exceptional 5 star hotel. Luxurious rooms with quality throughout the whole facility. The staff were friendly and welcoming and couldn’t do enough to assist in all things. Central to many stores, eating places (of all styles) and bars. If you only stay here once it’s well worth the experience.

The Veranda buffet lunch is World class. Food quality is exceptional. Asian and European. Only slight niggle more vegetables/ vegetarian options needed. Great service.

I stayed at the Peninsula for two nights as a stop-over on my way to Australia and really enjoyed it. The hotel is perfectly located opposite the city centre with a wonderful view of Victoria Harbour (make sure to book a room with harbour view) and within walking distance of the underground train station and the ferry terminal. The rooms are perfectly equipped and service is impeccable. The hotel has a very nice indoor swimming pool as well as a sundeck and a very decent gym. Both the breakfast buffet and the dinner buffet (served in the same area) are extremely rich and of the highest quality. For a special treat, be sure to book the airport pick-up service in one of the hotel's Rolls Royces.

This hotel is a bit of a legend. It was on my bucket list for a while so of course the expectations are high. I'm going to be a bit critical because at that level of hotel, one can expect perfection. The concierge contacted us prior to arrival to ask for arrival time, offering either the room to be ready early or to have a transit room. They didn't really honor Amex fine hotels and resort room upgrade, They told me I had already booked a room of a high level, which I didn't... I booked the basic one I believed. They did immediately offer late checkout though. On arrival, we were not offered either. I had to ask and insist to get a transit room. The hotel lobby is very busy, it;s a tourist attraction and also has tables for tea time and drinks. Hallways and rooms are very nice. Almost perfect, everything is qualitative. from the furniture to the bed sheets, towels. the devil is in the details and they mastered it. Sound proofing is excellent. Let's talk about something basic... bottled water. They provide only 2 small bottles per day? For more you have to ask room service? A bit strange in that hotel category. The rooms have a very nice size for a large city. The rooms felt new, they are very well maintained. We went for tea time, it's a glamorous experience with live musicians, it feels a little bit like time travel. The salty food was very good, I found the pastries to be average. We also had breakfast in the hotel. The selection is outstanding, the quality of food is very good but not outstanding. Another note, I found service to be a bit lacking. Not bad by any means, but not extraordinary. Overall this is a solid 5 star experience, my expectations were high, maybe too high.

Fantastic hotel — so stylish, clean, and elegant. Everything is thought through down to the details. The Christmas decorations are wonderful. Unfortunately, we had to leave just before the big tree was finished. It would be great if one of the next guests could take a picture of the decorated tree and post it — we would really love to see what it looks like. The service was professional and very polite. The breakfast selection was excellent, and the atmosphere was lovely. The gym is very well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back.
