The Peninsula name has always been equated with luxury and magnificence, and as the brand’s flagship location, the Peninsula Hong Kong is a cut above the rest.
The two-phase “landmark room enhancement programme,” commenced in 2012, aimed to transform all 297 of the hotel’s guestrooms.
New room designs offer simplicity and elegance:
The new room designs speak to “Classic Modernity”: tenets of simplicity and chic elegance built with the finest materials and craftsmanship available. Leather finishes and glossy wood detailing create an ambiance of comfort while setting off the room’s warm, neutral color palette (think cream and dark chocolate). Traditional Chinese ink painting served as inspiration for the artistic features – touches of tradition, reminders of the Peninsula Hong Kong’s proud 85-year history.
At the same time, the hotel looks to the future; this renovation has undoubtedly produced the world’s most technologically advanced guestrooms.
For your entertainment and enjoyment:
A 46” LED flat-screen TV, a iPod/iPad docking station, surround sound set-up, and noise canceling earphones (not to mention 90 Internet TV channels, 460 Internet radio stations, and a complimentary selection of HD movies). For effortless convenience: an all-in-one fax/printer/photocopier/scanner, a bank of international outlets, free long distance VOIP calls, and complimentary fibre-optic-cable-enhanced high-speed internet.
Really revolutionary, though, is what the upgraded technology allows in terms of personalization. LED touch wall panels allow visitors complete control of their room environments: temperature, lighting, curtains, privacy. The same options are available on the multiple portable tablets included in each room – but the tablets also offer access to restaurant menus, hotel services (including the Peninsula’s signature Rolls-Royce fleet!), the impressive new “PenCities” virtual city guide, live flight status updates, and more. The entire system is synchronized throughout the room and available in 5 languages: English, French, Japanese, and Traditional and Simplified Chinese.
The Peninsula Hong Kong has always been trusted to deliver on its promise of comfort in the midst of splendor, and with this most recent renovation, the hotel has exceeded all hopes and dreams. Take our word for it – or better yet, take our advice and experience the “Great Dame of the Far East” for yourself.
