Hong Kong · Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon
The Grande Dame of the Far East Since 1928
Why The Peninsula Hong Kong Remains Asia’s Most Legendary Luxury Hotel
The Peninsula Hong Kong is more than a hotel — it is a living landmark. Since opening in 1928 with the ambition of becoming “the finest hotel east of Suez,” this icon of Tsim Sha Tsui has welcomed heads of state, royalty, and the world’s most discerning travelers with a grace and grandeur that remains unmatched. For those exploring luxury travel in Hong Kong, The Peninsula stands in a category entirely its own.
Positioned directly on the waterfront of Victoria Harbour, the hotel’s celebrated fleet of Rolls-Royce limousines, its legendary Afternoon Tea in The Lobby, and its constellation of award-winning restaurants and bars make it the definitive Hong Kong experience. Guests continuing their journey beyond the city can also explore the remarkable route from Hong Kong to Angkor — one of Asia’s most rewarding travel itineraries.
