The Peninsula Express: An Enchanting Festive Voyage
The festive season is the most magical time of year at The Peninsula Hong Kong, when the legendary “Grande Dame of the Far East” transforms into a marvellous winter wonderland. This year, the hotel takes special holiday inspiration from the golden age of railway travel by inviting guests on an enchanting voyage aboard The Peninsula Express.
The Peninsula Hong Kong first opened its doors to visitors during the Christmas season of 1928 – many of whom arrived via Salisbury Road after long train journeys.
The hotel honours the heritage, and the excitement of holiday travel, by recreating itself as a bustling vintage train station. Guests will be transported back to the grand era of steam locomotives and railway adventures – and embark on a delightful itinerary of sumptuous meals, family activities, and festive events.
To celebrate the spirit of giving and the magic of the season, a portion of proceeds will benefit those in need through a partnership with ImpactHK, a local charity that supports the homeless and underprivileged in Hong Kong.
A Festive Railway-themed Musical Extravaganza
This year’s holiday season commences on 24 November 2022 with the transformation of The Peninsula Hong Kong’s lobby into the Grand Salisbury Station, where it will take centre stage to a spectacular performance of classical festive tunes and lively rendition of this year’s themed story: “An Enchanting Voyage aboard The Peninsula Express.”
The Peninsula Express - An Epicurean Railway Journey through the Past and Present
This season, the beloved train set and miniature Alpine village set up outside The Verandah restaurant will come to dazzling life with the installation of a full-sized train platform, Grand Salisbury Station, on the hotel’s first floor. Guests can board an exquisite Peninsula Express train carriage to embark on an exclusive culinary journey in an Alpine setting.
