DINE Felix is a Philippe Starck-designed rooftop restaurant that o ff ers sweeping views of Victoria Harbour. The cuisine is as re fi ned as the decor, with a contemporary European menu that’s as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate. For those eager to experience the city’s famous Symphony of Lights, Felix provides an unbeatable vantage point. For a more classic experience, Spring Moon o ff ers an exquisite Cantonese dining experience. This Michelin-starred restaurant not only serves some of the best dim sum in Hong Kong but also transports diners to another era with its 1920s-inspired teahouse ambience. Meanwhile, the celebrated Peninsula Afternoon Tea remains a time-honored tradition, serving delicate pastries and fi nger sandwiches beneath the ornate ceilings of the Main Lobby — a quintessential experience that has become synonymous with the hotel itself. RELAX The Peninsula Spa feels worlds away from the fast-paced streets below. With 14 treatment rooms, a 59-ft pool overlooking the harbor and a sun drenched terrace, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. For fi tness enthusiasts, The Peninsula’s fully equipped gym o ff ers everything from state-of-the-art cardio machines to private coaching sessions. EXPLORE One of the undeniable advantages of staying at The Peninsula is its location at the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui. Victoria Harbour waterfront is at the doorstep, perfect for a sunset stroll or a morning jog with the skyline as your backdrop. Or for those interested in Hong Kong’s cultural scene, the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Cultural Centre are both just a short walkaway. Looking for retail therapy even closer to home? O ff ering over 80 exclusive boutiques, from Louis Vuitton to Chanel, shopping at The Peninsula Arcade is an exclusive shopping experience that rivals the streets of Paris or New York.

THE PENINSULA HONG KONG HONGKONG

While countless hotels claim heritage status simply due to age, few can match the kind of legacy The Peninsula Hong Kong has cultivated over nearly a century. Since opening in 1928, it has stood not just as a gateway to Kowloon, but as a bridge between the East and West. In a city where luxury often trends toward the ultra-modern, The Peninsula stays true to its roots. The experience begins when, as you’re still drowsy and jet-lagged from the fl ight, the world-renowned 'Peninsula Green' Rolls-Royce Phantoms airport transfer pulls into the cobbled courtyard entrance. (Although for those wanting an even more dramatic entrance, The Peninsula o ff ers a helicopter service, which lands on its private rooftop helipad.) Then, at the stone lion-guarded entrance awaits The Peninsula’s other famous fl eet: the legion of pillbox hat-wearing pages. They promptly guide guests up to their rooms for seamless check-ins, and the pages’ ever-watchful presence ensures every need is met before it even arises — one evening, I counted 11 pages waiting to greet us. STAY In a city equally famous as a world-leading fi nancial hub as for its lack of spatial economy, The Peninsula’s rooms, beginning at 441 sq ft, are extravagantly generous by Hong Kong standards. Above the bustling city, the necessary sense of serenity is enhanced by a calm and classic design — think dark, polished woods, fl oral wall decor and green marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs. Despite the aesthetic, modern technology is thoughtfully integrated into the experience: Electronic tablets control everything from mood lighting to room service to curtain positions, with one touch revealing the hypnotizing view of the harbor. The Peninsula Suiteo ff ers total opulence — spanning over 4,000 sq ft, the suite includes a private gym, terrace and dedicated butler service.
