Concierge "We'll come right out and say it: The Peninsula is one of the finest hotels in the world, and has been since 1928."
Fodor's "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."
Insight Guides "This, the grand old dame of Hong Kong’s hospitality business, has been a byword for impeccable service and colonial-style grandeur since 1928."
Oyster 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
Rough Guide "Possibly the grandest hotel in Hong Kong, the Peninsula has been putting visitors up in unrivalled style since the late 1920s."
Michelin Guide "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."
DK Eyewitness "The Peninsula blends marble-clad opulence and old world colonial charm while its modern rooms offer unrivalled harbour views."
Star Service "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.
BlackBook "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."

Frommer's "A popular choice for business travelers, the majority of whom are American... Sterling service... which is probably one reason why repeat guests make up more than 55% of hotel occupancy." Full review
Fodor's "You might feel like a '70s tycoon amid murals, fountains, and crystal chandeliers in the lobby, and the feeling extends to the spacious rooms decorated in warm colors."
Oyster Luxury
"This luxury hotel lives up to the Shangri-La brand's stellar reputation, but there are a few small details that prevent it from being a true five-pearl property." Full review
Michelin Guide "The first thing to strike you will be the size and grandeur of the lobby, with its marble, sparkling chandeliers and tiered water fountain."
Star Service "This hotel boasts a Hong Kong harbor-front location and views similar to those of the InterContinental Hong Kong, but at a lower price." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"It’s all about location, location, location for the Kowloon Shangri-La. The hotel sits smack-dab on top of the East Tsim Sha Tsui subway station and next to Victoria Harbour." Full review
Lonely Planet "The views, the bars and restaurants here, including Tapas Bar, are excellent." Full review
Travel + Leisure "-room hotel on Kowloon's Tsim Sha Tsui East waterfront, with floor-to-ceiling bay windows in every room." Full review
Jetsetter "The Shangri-La Kowloon has a well-balanced blend of old — the glam lobby’s Viennese crystal chandeliers and Italian marble floors, the unstuffy service — and new: The hotel’s 688 spacious rooms are all stylishly teched out." Full review
Gayot "An elegant hotel with a central location overlooking Victoria Harbour."
