What can I say about this hotel that has not been said before? The ‘Pen’ truly is one of the best there is.
We stayed in a grand deluxe harbour view room for five nights on the first leg of our one month round the world honeymoon. Although a little bit upset we did not get upgraded to a suite (well you can hope can’t you) the room was great with a view that is unsurpassed.
The bathroom was spacious with his and hers sinks and one of the most powerful showers around, and two robes each.
We also made us of the health facilities when we were there and they are highly recommended, the swimming pool was great with a view over Hong Kong Harbour and there are saunas, steam rooms and jacuzzi’s, but these are segragated by sex so I could not have a steam with my new wife, (just a big fat naked man:).
The staff could not be any more friendly and are always happy to help.
Two things I would recommend is to have afternoon tea in the lobby where they will bring you out a selection of cakes and finger sandwiches (if you are a resident you can jump the long line of tourists waiting for a table). And if you are thinking of making you arrival at the hotel a little more grand than a standard taxi the Peninsula has a fleet of Rolls Royces’ that are available for airport pick ups.
I would recommend this hotel 100%.
