The door lions always appear as a pair, one male and one female, sitting on each side of doorways or entrances. The lion and the lioness must be placed on the correct side of the entrance to ensure feng shui harmony. The Peninsula Hong Kong was the first hotel in Asia to adopt the idea of having the Chinese door lions at its grand entrance and today the tradition continues with the entrances to all Peninsula hotels guarded by these traditional architectural ornaments.

Conceptualized by Beverly Hills-based interior design firm Forchielli Glynn, the redesign at the AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five Star-rated property reflects the hotel’s signature glamour with three updated color palettes and contemporary furnishings that are both luxurious and graciously residential. “We put great care into embracing the charm of The Peninsula Beverly Hills as a welcome haven where guests can feel that they are coming home to their own pied-à-terre rather than a hotel room,” said Managing Director Offer Nissenbaum. “The enhanced rooms stay true to the hotel’s DNA of quintessential Southern California luxury.” Guest rooms are punctuated with floral-patterned drapery and bright accent pillows, while rich new furnishings, such as sofa beds and ottomans, feature refined contemporary lines. Guest rooms, suites and spacious villas feature three new color palettes that complement the hotel’s lush tropical garden setting: - more - THE PENINSULA BEVERLY HILLS UNVEILS DESIGN UPDATE AND BMW LUXURY CAR PARTNERSHIP – 2 A soft peach theme in Standard and Grand Deluxe guest rooms showcases classic Brunschwig & Fils tree-of-life-patterned window dressings and bed canopies, complemented by French- inspired checked bed skirts, coral-colored accents, pale champagne walls and Axminster wool carpets.

    THE HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI HOTELS, LIMITED 2 March 2016 THE HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI HOTELS, LIMITED CELEBRATES ITS 150th ANNIVERSARY IN 2016 The Hong Kong-based parent company of The Peninsula Hotels, The Peak Tram, Peak Tower and Repulse Bay Complex, celebrates 150 years of tradition well served. HONG KONG 2 March, 2016: The distinguished heritage of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited (HSH) reaches a new milestone today as HSH celebrates its 150th anniversary. Originally incorporated on 2 March 1866 as The Hongkong Hotel Company, Limited, HSH was one of the first companies to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and is currently the oldest registered company on the Hong Kong Companies Registry. For a century and a half, the compelling story of HSH has been closely tied to its city of origin, Hong Kong. Whilst evolving to meet the changing times at home and abroad, HSH has never lost respect for its past and its heritage, and it continually strives to emulate the standards of service and style that earned it the accolade of “The Far East’s leading hotel company”. The concept of “Tradition well served” remains fundamental to HSH’s approach. “Tradition is taking account of a wonderful history, but remembering that everybody today looks to the future. It is important not to forget that the future is built on the past, and we have a great legacy,” said The Hon. Sir Michael Kadoorie, Chairman of HSH. “We believe that our rich history gives us a fuller understanding of our shared identity, culture and values, enabling us to manage change responsibly, to safeguard the best of the past and to keep innovating to meet the demands of the next generation.” Today, the HSH legacy encompasses a diverse portfolio of assets worth HK$44.2 billion1 including ten Peninsula Hotels around the world, The Peak Tram, The Peak Tower and The Repulse Bay Complex in Hong Kong.
