Expert reviews
“Lording it over the southern tip of Kowloon, Hong Kong’s finest hotel exudes colonial elegance. Many rooms in the 20-storey annexe offer spectacular harbour views; in the original building you’ll have to make do with the glorious interiors.”
“This is Hong Kong’s legendary grand dame, built in 1928 to accommodate overland train passengers traveling through China and disembarking at nearby Kowloon Station. Yet the hotel is also stunningly up to date, with room renovations completed in 2013 that make it one of the most high-tech accommodations in the world.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Hong Kong.
“You know you’re somewhere special when pillbox-hatted pageboys politely whisk open double-front doors to reveal an airy lobby with soaring ceilings. And so it is at The Peninsula Hong Kong, the city’s oldest hotel (opened in 1928).”
“Although the Pen, established in 1928, is the Grand Old Lady of Hong Kong’s hotels there’s nothing fusty about her. With a helipad on the roof and a tea-time orchestra in the lobby, it stylishly combine the city’s past and its high-speed present.”

The Dame continues to excel
Everything. The Pen is immaculate and you want for nothing. Best hotel in HK by far
Popcorn chicken (poolside snack), the coating was a bit too hard.

I had a great stay in the Peninsula Hotel Hong Kong. I hope I can come back soon. 😊😊
Very friendly and helpful staff, esp. Joey Lai at Guest Relations, Keith Lam at Front Desk, Hannah Mok, Director of Front Office along with two of her staff members (sorry, didn't get a chance to ask for their names), as well as our house keeping lady. We really felt that we were well taken care of. Our room is on the 25th floor, and it offers a magnificent, unobstructed view of the Victoria Harbor and Hong Kong side skyline, the view alone is worth a million dollars. ❤️❤️ I also like the control by ipad for light, curtains, and TV, etc., making everything very convenient. And of course, the hotel is at a prime location with only minutes walking distance to Hong Kong landmark the Clock Tower, Cultural Center, Star Ferry, Hong Kong Museum of Art, K-11 fancy shopping center, subway stations, Hong Kong movie Walk of Fame, and numerous restaurants and shopping centers.
I like breakfast at Verandah Cafe on the second floor: The decor is very pretty and the atmosphere is relaxing and causal; the food has a great variety, very well make and fresh. Since the holiday season has started, the restaurant lobby has a cute miniature Hong Kong Winter Wonderland train display. The hosts of the restaurant are very warm and friendly, however, I'm hoping some of the food prep staff and waiters can do the same. I would wish the staff member at the egg station would greet customers when they approach, at least to say "Hello" or "Good Morning", and perhaps offers "How can I help you?", etc. instead of just standing there silently. Another thing is, to my observation, certain one or two waiters on the morning when I was there, would not fail to greet customers of European descent but not so much to Asians. Customers should be treated equally. Hope the hotel would provide more training.

Phantastic experience, to be recommended absolutely
The hotel is perfectly located opposite the city centre, with magnificent views of Victoria Harbour (be sure to choose a room with harbour view!). The underground train and the ferry terminal are within walking distance. Rooms are very nicely equipped, and service is impeccable. Great indoor swimming pool, sun terrace and hotel gym. The Breakfast buffet as well as the evening buffet (in the same restaurant) are just marvellous. I did also enjoy the airport pick up in one of the hotel's Rolls Royces which was a special treat not to be missed.

Once in a lifetime experience too expensive to repeat

The restaurant staff were a bit slow to attend to us after we were seated Disappointing not to be able to check in early after 12 hour flight - had to wait in the spa for 4hours with jet lag

stayed for 4 nights, had 1 time free time, wanted to go for a swim, found out they had a private event.. there was no commuication about it what so ever. so no swimming no city views.. dont know why you book a hotel with all the options if they are not available. otherwise a 9/10

I have always wanted to stay in the Peninsula and this exceeded my expectations!
Location was perfect for exploring and walking to the conference and meeting other conference delegates nearby (they all met in the lobby of the Peninsula and were wowed! I am sure I got you new fans for future bookings. The room was amazing and I loved the little foyer for privacy. I LOVED the tea set after a long day, to enjoy the beautiful loose tea leaves.
The gym was nice but there was no one there to ask questions of. I was slightly worried if I used any equipment wrongly and got injured so I refrained. But I enjoyed the choice of equipment very much.

Great Experience. Can’t wait to come back
Andie Cheung, Front desk manager, enabled a quick and pleasant check in. Upon request, Andie converted a King bed into 2 beds. Very professional. Wilson greeted me at the airport. I knew my stay would be a pleasant one after meeting up with Wilson. Warm welcoming. Jimmy, the driver, brought me to the hotel in a clean car providing water route. it was a plodrive from the airport to the hotel.

The hotel is just perfect, the service is at the highest possible standards, starting from the door openers at the entrance to the phone operators - the entire hotel team which I came across and interacted with during the stay is amazing - thank you all.

Overall it was good, nice view, friendly staff, clean, and very responsive
Nothing new but everything shows history and luxury
No fresh milk for the coffee bar, only has coffee mate, a bit disappointing not sure if it’s common in HK. So I had to order it everyday and the last night there it was delivered without clean film, not very hygienic. Also, some staff seems speaking English only or at least when they noticed my friend and I were talking in Mandarin still talked to us in English, sure not an issue for me but not the best for my friend.

Charming hotel, great location, but afternoon tea overrated.

The Peninsula in Hong Kong has a magnificent lobby, elegantly-decorated rooms, amazing service, and central location. The welcome fruit bowl was a nice touch, and we appreciated the free drinks. The receptionist allowed an early check-in even if we arrived hours before the official check-in time.
Too bad the pool wasn't available, but the hotel informed us way ahead of our stay.

Iconic, expensive, worth at least 1 night if you can swing it.
Location is iconic, impeccable service. The view from our room was truly unbelievable. Convenient to the metro. Great gym. Pool was closed for maintenance, but was offered access to 2 other hotel pools next door. Bed linens were so comfortable.

The experience in a word excellent! In two words, very excellent!
Was is there not to like about this property. It’s the Grande Dame of Asia!
However, if I were to nitpick, I have to say that some attention to some details is needed for it be a try Grande Dame. For example, in the bathroom the water from the shower seeped out into the compartment where the toilet bowl is - the door was closed the whole time. So much so, that the base of the doorframe of that compartment has signs of humidity damage. With regards to the bar, the staff was excellent, however, management should take mor care of the atire of the staff, mainly their shoes and their sizes, as when they walked the shoes made a loud clacking sound. Finally, regarding the concierge staff, when one of them handed me the my backpack and helped me put it on, the person was reeking of tobacco. In a hotel of such a category as the Peninsula, such details must not be overlooked. Aside from this, we loved our time spent there!
