"Opened in 1928 as a luxurious terminus hotel on the Kowloon Peninsula, this grande dame has long been a social hub for elites crossing Victoria Harbour for afternoon tea, tea dances, and high-society gatherings. Subsequent expansions added towers, shops, a spa, an aviation lounge with rooftop helipads, and a Philippe Starck–designed fine-dining restaurant; recent guest-room renovations blended creamy, polished finishes with modern tech conveniences like bedside control panels, while preserved relics and ritualized services maintain the property’s storied, elegant reputation." - Mary Holland
"This luxury hotel runs a private two-hour Dim Sum Making Class in its banquet kitchen, including refreshments and a follow-up lunch at its Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant; participants receive recipes and a certificate, and the session (led by the hotel's chef and dim sum team) costs about $350 per person (HK$2,680 + 10% service). The program aims to bridge the gap between master craftsmen and eager learners by offering rare, hands-on exposure to professional dim sum techniques and kitchen processes." - Jake Emen
"The Peninsula Hong Kong is one of those very special hotels whose name causes former guests to go a bit misty-eyed at its mere mention. Since opening on the Kowloon waterfront in 1928, The Pen (as it is affectionately known) has been beloved by both visitors and the people of Hong Kong. And it’s still the place to be—ot just for the sense of history, but because it is simply fabulous. Pull into the driveway in one of the hotel’s 14 Rolls-Royce Phantoms. Take your pick from nine superb bars and restaurants. Have a Margy’s Monte-Carlo facial at the spa, then retire to calming dark veneer and champagne-toned rooms with dazzling harbor views and be attended to by some of the most thoughtful staff in the business. Hong Kong and The Peninsula: It’s impossible to imagine one without the other. From $540. —Lee Cobaj" - CNT Editors

"The Peninsula Hong Kong is a legendary hotel facing Victoria Harbour, epitomizing quality and elegance. It features luxurious guest rooms, exceptional service, and iconic staff uniforms. Even after 80 years since its opening, it continues to impress with its MICHELIN-starred restaurants, Gaddi’s and Spring Moon." - Mandy Li
