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.

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.

The award, the first in Beijing for a newly renovated hotel, was in recognition of The Peninsula Beijing’s complete transformation in 2017 which saw it become the first all-suite hotel in China. The Peninsula Beijing was transformed in a complex feat of engineering and design, effectively combining the original 525 rooms into 230 suites. During the renovation, sustainable guidelines including BREEAM were incorporated from the beginning of the project planning. The Peninsula Beijing achieved a GOOD rating to become only the third BREEAM-accredited building in the Chinese capital, and the first for a newly renovated hotel. It is also the first hotel owned by the Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels to achieve BREEAM status. Senior representatives from BRE, HSH and The Peninsula Beijing attended an award ceremony at the hotel, to honour the hotel’s remarkable achievement. “Congratulations to The Peninsula Beijing which has gone beyond typical best practice in design and refurbishment and is a great example of the enduring benefits of sustainable construction,” said Mr Niall Trafford, CEO of BRE Group.
