The Peninsula Hong Kong
Hong Kong
Opened in 1928, The Peninsula Hong Kong is one of the world's renowned grand hotels. This legendary "Grande Dame of the Far East" continues to set hotel standards worldwide, offering a blend of the best of Eastern and Western hospitality in an atmosphere of classical grandeur and timeless elegance. Most luxury hotels are on Hong Kong Island, but The Peninsula has views from the Kowloon side of the renowned Hong Kong skyline. The hotel suits those looking for a classic Hong Kong experience with all the luxury comforts, killer views and great service. You have a choice of suites in either the grand, historic Original Building or the more contemporary floors of The Peninsula Tower, with commanding views of the harbour and city. Facilities include a Roman-style swimming pool, sundeck, a 12,000-square-foot Peninsula Spa by ESPA and a top fitness centre. The pool opens onto the hotel's sun terrace, providing an incredible view of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island. Dining options are varied, with its 8 restaurants serving French, Swiss, Continental, Pacific Rim, Cantonese and Japanese cuisine respectively. Felix, the rooftop restaurant created by renowned French designer Philippe Starck, is a true highlight.

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
