PENINSULA HOTEL \ GRAND DELUXE HV SUITE
Despite some glittering new hotels opening – Mira Moon and Indigo come to mind – still nothing holds a candle to the queen of Kowloon, The Peninsula. Its 300 rooms and suites, fresh from a $720-million makeover, are hands-down the best designed I’ve stayed in. Everything is where you want it to be, nothing is superfluous or annoying. Finishes are elegantly luxurious – marble bathrooms, high-gloss walnut and mahogany – and views are
eye-popping. The in-room technology is unprecedented; intuitive tablet computers let guests order room service, control lighting and temperature, connect to myriad internet TV and radio stations, plan excursions via virtual city guides – and more, in 11 languages. There is a lot to love about this hotel. Free phone calls to anywhere in the world, faultless wi-fi, laundry returned to your personal valet box with an orchid flower (just because), the music room with its grand
piano always ready for use, and the illustrious Lobby, Hong Kong’s favourite meeting place. And, best of all, the airport transfers in Peninsula-green Rolls-Royce Phantoms. Way to make an entrance. \ khill@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.peninsula.com
