2022 Holiday Dining Experiences at The Peninsula Hong Kong

For decades, travellers from all over the world have made special visits to The Peninsula Hong Kong during the winter holidays.  A spectacular railway-themed musical extravaganza marked the beginning of the festive celebrations in the majestic hotel lobby, culminating the lighting of the enormous Christmas tree. Offering a profusion of meals and opportunities to share gifts with loved ones and the larger community, the hotel invites guests to enjoy a unique voyage of holiday enchantment.

Inspired by the love for travel, The Peninsula Hong Kong is transformed into a mesmerising winter wonderland, showcasing the “Festive Past”, “Festive Present” and “Festive Future” to bring joy and hope during the holiday season.  Inspired by the yesteryears of steaming locomotives and nostalgic train station, The Peninsula Express and the Grand Salisbury Station on the hotel’s first floor will transport guests to the golden age of railway travel, while the glowing pearl installations on the hotel’s façade and around the property illuminate the hotel and the “Pearl of the Orient”. Revel in the festive experience at the Grande Dame, the iconic landmark of the city this holiday season.

Festive Voyages Aboard The Peninsula Express

In 1928, The Peninsula Hong Kong first opened its doors to welcome Christmas-season guests – many of whom had arrived after long train journeys. Now, the hotel honours that history, and the enchantment of holiday travel, by recreating itself as a grand vintage train station. Here, guests will be transported back to the golden era of steam locomotives and exciting rail voyages.

A Gourmet Holiday Tour 

The elaborate train set and miniature Alpine village that adorn the entry to The Verandah restaurant each festive season are complemented by the full-sized installation of a marvellous train platform, Grand Salisbury Station, on the hotel’s first floor. Here, guests can enjoy sumptuous meals inside a meticulously crafted, signature green Peninsula Express train carriage, ensconced in gleaming wood-panelled comfort.

Delightful Dining – and Giving 

In celebration of the season, a magnificent festive “Teas of Hope” Afternoon Tea will be offered to holiday guests at The Lobby, featuring a menu of special treats. Sweets, curated by the hotel’s Executive Pastry Chef Florian Couteau, will include a chocolate mulled-wine Yule log, blackcurrant cinnamon macarons, a ginger-honey candle cake, assorted Christmas cookies and chocolate bonbons, and traditional scones with clotted cream and jam. Savouries, created by The Lobby’s Chef de Cuisine Anton Ho, will include salmon rillettes in cornets, duck confit and potato tartlets, and foie gras with smoked eel and beetroot chips.
