The Peninsula Hong Kong (香港半島酒店)

Known as the "Grande Dame of the Far East," Peninsula's Hong Kong hotel is their first and arguably most iconic property. From its perch on the Kawloon waterfront, it offers easy access to numerous museums, shops and restaurants outside its doors. But with five restaurants, a luxury shopping arcade, and its famous tea-time in the lobby (with live music), you don't actually don't even need to leave to experience the city. You might prefer to spend your time gazing out the window (like I did), taking in the always changing view of the Pearl River, and beyond it, the skyline of Hong Kong Island. – Skye Parrott
