If stately is your style, you’ll be right at home at the Peninsula, affectionately called the ‘Pen’, a legendary Hong Kong hotel set on the tip of Kowloon, overlooking Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island beyond. The streets outside are always abuzz with tourists and locals alike, and you will find yourself within easy reach of myriad shops, restaurants, museums, and recreation hubs. The hotel itself presents a stark contrast to the hubbub outside. Step in to time-travel into old-world luxury, complete with afternoon tea, classical music, and all the splendor of Hong Kong’s colonial past. And yet, the cosmopolitan vibe of the city seeps into the Peninsula, leading you to bright and chic rooms with polished artwork and sophisticated mod-cons. These are complemented by great food and excellent services, the highlight of which is the Pen’s luxurious spa. Spread over 12,000 square feet, the spa and wellness center consists of 14 treatment rooms, 6 of which are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. One of these is a suite laid out like a plush mini-spa, perfect for couples on a romantic Hong Kong getaway. The Peninsula spa has a rich ambience that blends traditional Chinese elements with contemporary accents. Rejuvenation options include steam rooms, saunas, and aromatherapy experience showers. The treatment package here covers everything from acupressure massages, to Vedic and Thai massages, to a variety of facials, to bespoke massages for men and women. Body contour treatments and tailored slimming solutions are also offered here.
