The Peninsula Hong Kong

The Peninsula Hong Kong is one of the most iconic luxury hotels in Hong Kong and a flagship property of The Peninsula Hotels group. Opened in 1928 in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, it combines classic colonial‑era elegance with modern facilities and technology.

History and character

The hotel is often called the “Grande Dame of the Far East” and is considered one of the world’s leading city hotels. It consists of the original six‑storey building from 1928 and a 33‑storey tower added in the 1990s, preserving the historic façade and grand lobby. After a major renovation completed around 2013, the interiors blend traditional luxury (marble, chandeliers, rich fabrics) with updated in‑room technology.

Rooms and suites

The Peninsula Hong Kong has roughly 300 guestrooms and suites, many with panoramic views of Victoria Harbour or the city skyline. Rooms are spacious and elegantly furnished, with large marble bathrooms, separate bathtubs and showers, and high‑end amenities. In‑room technology includes control panels or tablets for lights, curtains and climate control, plus large flat‑screen TVs and high‑speed Wi‑Fi. The top Peninsula Suite, around 377 m², offers one of the best viewpoints over Victoria Harbour.

Dining and bars

The hotel is known for its strong restaurant line‑up, with around seven to eight venues covering different cuisines. Signature options include Gaddi’s (French fine dining), Felix (a rooftop restaurant and bar designed by Philippe Starck), Spring Moon (Cantonese), Chesa (Swiss), Imasa (Japanese), The Verandah (buffet and international), and The Lobby for all‑day dining and famous afternoon tea. Many of these outlets are regarded among the best in Hong Kong for both hotel guests and local diners.

Facilities and services

Guests have access to a large spa and wellness area, with indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam rooms, treatment rooms, fitness centre and relaxation lounge. The hotel also houses the Peninsula Arcade, an on‑site luxury shopping gallery featuring dozens of high‑end international brands and local designers. Business travellers benefit from conference and function rooms, a business centre, and high‑level concierge and room services.

Location and experience

Located on Salisbury Road in Kowloon, the hotel sits near the Star Ferry, Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade and major shopping streets, offering easy access to both Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. It is famous for its fleet of customized Rolls‑Royce and Bentley vehicles used for airport transfers and VIP transport, which reinforces its old‑world luxury image. Overall, The Peninsula Hong Kong is designed for travellers who want a classic, highly service‑driven luxury experience with strong sense of history and some of the city’s best harbour views.
