The Peninsula Hong Kong is delighted to announce its recognition as Hong Kong’s Unmissable Hotel in the prestigious Cathay Members’ Choice Awards 2025. The accolade reflects the nearly century-old hotel’s unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality and impeccable service and solidifies its reputation as an iconic destination for both business and leisure travellers from around the world.

This exclusive community of engaged, worldly members, with knowledge and authority on all things travel and hospitality, makes the awards a coveted accolade in the industry.

A Legacy of Innovation and Excellence

The Peninsula Hong Kong and Cathay Pacific have maintained a trusted partnership since the late 1950s. In those days, this grand hotel in the city – served as a second home for many of the major air carriers that serviced Hong Kong. Notably, Cathay Pacific pioneered the creation of the world’s first in-town check-in counter at The Peninsula, establishing ticketing and onsite check-in service using the hotel’s lobby.

Over the ensuing decades, both companies played increasingly integral roles in the development of their home city. By the 1960s, Cathay Pacific had firmly established itself as one of the most successful carriers in the region, as well as the only all-turbine airline in the Far East. The Peninsula Hong Kong, meanwhile, had become known around the globe as ‘The Grande Dame of the Far East’ – the embodiment of elegant luxury in a sophisticated and rapidly growing metropolis. The two companies have continued to evolve in tandem with their locale, reflecting both the illustrious heritage and modern innovation that define Hong Kong.

As the recognition from the Cathay Members’ Choice Awards reaffirms, today’s Peninsula Hong Kong continually strives to achieve new heights in sumptuous comfort and peerless service. Beyond offering superb accommodations with stunning views over Victoria Harbour, exquisite cuisine at its acclaimed restaurants (including two with Michelin stars), world-class rejuvenation at its Peninsula Spa & Wellness Centre, and opulent transport in its fleet of Rolls-Royce and Bentley vehicles, the hotel is the only hotel in Hong Kong to feature twin helipads for seamless helicopter arrivals and departures. The hotel also provides a wealth of engaging experiences that allow guests to immerse in the distinctive culture of the city. These range from Art in Resonance, a programme which lets guests interact with ground-breaking contemporary artists, to signature Peninsula Afternoon Tea Cruises aboard Hong Kong’s legendary World Star Ferry.
