Spent 3 days at this hotel after a business trip and found it to be top notch in every way. Everyone is very professional, service is cordial and make you feel they are sincerly happy you are staying at the Peninsula. A bit pricy but well worth the addtional cost.

Service outstanding, room beautiful and comfortable, free internet. I would not spend the extra $45 per person for buffet breakfast -- nothing special. The cantonese restaurant in the hotel, Huang Ting is extraordinary. The dim sum weekend brunch is exquisite and affordable.

Recommended Trip type: All Others "suveränt hotell"

Reviewed by M of Stockholm on Oct 5, 2008

Hotellet har ett bra läge nära Himmelska Fridens Torg och Förbjudna Staden ~ 15-30 min promenad. Hotellet är snyggt och stilfullt inrett. Praktiska finesser på rummet som dämpad belysning och AC vilket kan styras från sängplatsen. Hotellet har en västerländsk och en kinesisk restaurang vilka båda var bra även om det kostar lite mer jmf med att gå ut och äta. Det finns även en restaurang ca 200 meter vänster om hotellet (om du har ryggen mot hotellet) som serverade bra kinesisk mat mycket billigare. En rekommendation är att prova hotellets spa avdelning som var mycket bra.
