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."

"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."

Avoid rooms facing Canton Road, which can be noisy.
Fodor's "Spacious rooms with sweeping views of Hong Kong Island are near the shopping hub along Canton Road and linked to Harbour City's immense shopping complex."
Rough Guide "The Harbour City complex houses threedifferent hotels under the same Marco Polo umbrella. They’re all fairly fancy, and guests can use any hotel’s facilities."
Star Service "This is the best of the three Marco Polo hotels here, with the largest rooms and the only one with views of the harbor." Full review

Luckily, one floor of standard rooms was renovated, making them the choice units to request.
Star Service "The entrance is through a marble foyer, past a bland lounge, to a lobby scaled to a personable size, with two small but comfortable sitting areas. " Full review

Guests have use of the outdoor pool and health club at The Marco Polo Hong Kong, but they may get lost in the Harbour City maze (ten minutes via covered walkway) trying to find them, although access to Harbour City is a plus for those who prefer to avoid minibar charges or wish to shop at all hours.

"Located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, the Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel is a good luxury choice for shopaholics given that it's attached to the Harbour City shopping complex, Hong Kong's largest." Full review

"Location is everything in Hong
Kong, and with its harbor-side perch along Canton Road in bustling Tsim Sha
