The Peninsula Hong Kong has already been in business for close to a century, and although many of its precious traditions remain preserved to this very day, it has never rested on its laurels. Instead, it is constantly seeking change, working with various organisations to launch ever-innovative services. By committing to causes such as philanthropy, environmental protection, and the development of arts and culture, it hopes to make an impact across all aspects of life. These outside-the-box collaborations and reforms often give the hotel an extra boost in the face of new challenges.

Grande Dame of the Far East: Majestic Makeover
In 1970, 42 years after the opening of the hotel, its management was in the hands of Baron Lawrence Kadoorie and Sir Michael Kadoorie of the establishment’s founding family. With father and son both being avid car enthusiasts, a decision was made to introduce a limousine fleet.
The more famous the hotel became, the more VIPs stayed there. To cope with the increasing number of guests, it was necessary to extend the original 6-storey building. The works for adding a 30-storey new wing to the north tower then commenced in 1991 to include a rooftop restaurant, spa, and other modern facilities. A helipad was even put in place, making the hotel accessible by land, sea, and air.31/12/2024收看 -
Grande Dame of the Far East: Splendid Serendipity
The Peninsula Hong Kong opened in 1928 and is the oldest six-star hotel in our city. When it was first announced that the hotel would be built in Tsim Sha Tsui, everybody was shocked because the Kowloon Peninsula was considered relatively remote at the time and the upper crust of society lived on the other side of Victoria Harbour. However, the hotel management – the Kadoorie family – firmly believed that it would draw in travellers from all over the world due to its vicinity to the pier and train station. The establishment’s continued success to this very day proves this decision a wise one. Serendipity led to the birth of a timeless legend.
The hotel has grown up alongside Hong Kong and will be celebrating its centenary in a few years. Over the course of three episodes, we will be delving into the glorious past of this legendary hotel, which is also known as the “Grande Dame of the Far East”.24/12/2024收看
