"We'll come right out and say it: The Peninsula is one of the finest hotels in the world, and has been since 1928."
"Even in a city with so many world-class hotels, the Peninsula manages to stand apart from the rest, an oasis of old-world glamour."
"This, the grand old dame of Hong Kong’s hospitality business, has been a byword for impeccable service and colonial-style grandeur since 1928."
Kid-Friendly
"The vibe is very upscale... the location in the touristy Tsim Sha Tsui neighborhood, near designer shopping and Victoria Harbour, is very convenient." Full review
"Possibly the grandest hotel in Hong Kong, the Peninsula has been putting visitors up in unrivalled style since the late 1920s."
"The iconic lobby remains the place for afternoon tea: the spa boasts a Roman-style pool and a host of dining choices range from the modern to the traditional."
"The Peninsula blends marble-clad opulence and old world colonial charm while its modern rooms offer unrivalled harbour views."
"The Peninsula Hong Kong is one of the world's best hotels." Full review

Those doing business on the Hong Kong side or who prefer to avoid the onslaught of Kowloon shoppers may prefer the equally excellent but less grand Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental on Hong Kong Island.
"Like a throne commanding the harbor of Hong Kong, this hotel occupies a unique place in the world. Its august rooms sit atop the best real estate in a charmed city."

"For many guests, a long list of amenities makes up for an isolated-from-action locale: most of the large, comfortable, contemporary rooms have harbor views."
Luxury
"The 554-room Harbour Grand is slightly removed from the main attractions in Kowloon. However, many choose to stay here precisely because it isn't in the center of the hustle and bustle." Full review
"This shimmering glass structure is right on the waterfront and offers superb views across Victoria Harbour."
"Although it is not in the thick of the action, this hotel is close enough to reach Hong Kong Island by Star Ferry (a pier is close by) or taxi within 20 minutes." Full review

From here, the views can be endless except on foggy days, and locals often choose to conduct informal business dealings over lunch.
