Peninsula Hong Kong Unveils Room Enhancement Program

January 10, 2012 - In a bid to offer guests the highest levels of comfort and experiential luxury during their stay at ThePeninsula Hong Kong, the hotel is embarking on a landmark room enhancement program that will cement its leadership position in global luxury hospitality. Building on its role as the purveyor of timeless luxury, the hotel is as committed to defining the future of luxury, as it has been to preserving its magnificent heritage in the past.

Culminating in a project that will see all 297 of the hotel’s guestrooms transformed, the two-phase enhancement program is set to kick off on January 8, 2012, confined to two separate buildings to ensure that disturbance to guests is kept to an absolute minimum. Initially focusing on guestrooms in The Peninsula Tower, which will re-open in August 2012, these new rooms will pave the way for the transformation of guestrooms within the Original Building, to be fully unveiled in early 2013. Conceived by The Peninsula Hotels in-house design team, the newly enhanced rooms showcase the finest materials and craftsmanship, boasting a bespoke luxury residential feel. With an accent on Classic Modernity, simplicity and chic elegance, the new room aesthetic melds the distinctive design touches and practicality present in today’s luxury yachts, motorcars, and private jets, taking The Peninsula guest experience to the next level.

“Innovation is part of the tradition of this hotel,” said The Peninsula Hotels’ Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Peter Borer. “This concept will usher in a new era of in-room comfort, showcasing our leadership role in bringing the latest guest-focused technology to the world.” Set to be unveiled in 2012, revolutionary in-room technology at The Peninsula Hong Kong will set new standards of guest personalization.
