  • The Royal Academy of Arts and the Peninsula Hong Kong Announce Installation by Leading British Artist, Conrad Shawcross Ra
    THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS AND THE PENINSULA HONG KONG ANNOUNCE INSTALLATION BY LEADING BRITISH ARTIST, CONRAD SHAWCROSS RA The Royal Academy of Arts and The Peninsula Hong Kong will co-present a public art installation in Hong Kong by leading British sculptor Conrad Shawcross RA. The second instalment in a three-year partnership between The Peninsula and the RA, Shawcross' work is timed to coincide with the fourth edition of Art Basel Hong Kong, and will be unveiled on 22 March 2016. The ADA Project combines sculpture, robotics and music to create a dramatic visual performance, comprising a series of collaborations between Shawcross and leading contemporary composers. Taking an industrial robot arm that is most commonly used on automated assembly lines, ADA has been programmed to perform four choreographed routines with each composer responding. The resulting compositions are played to accompany the robot’s movements. The installation is part of the ‘Love Art at The Peninsula’ initiative, the hotel’s programme of exhibitions and events that celebrates its commitment to art. The second year of the partnership builds on the RA’s recent collaborations with cultural and educational institutions across Asia. Last year Richard Wilson RA was the first artist in the three-year partnership between The Peninsula and the RA with the installation Hang on a Minute Lads… I’ve Got a Great Idea, a full-sized replica vintage coach teetering on the edge of the hotel’s seventh floor Grade I-listed façade. Other RA collaborations have included exhibitions in Singapore, Japan, Qatar and Australia, an artist exchange programme in partnership with Hong Kong-based not-for-profit Arts in Heritage Research Limited and the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, and a student exchange programme with Tokyo University of the Arts.

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.

  • Mga Kilalang 5 Star Hotel Sa Pilipinas
    Mga kilalang 5 star hotel sa Pilipinas Discovery Shores Boracay Island Boracay Island , Philippines The palm-studded island of Boracay – with its white, talcum-fine beach, balmy weather, and warm, crystalline waters – is like a hypnotic magnet. In this tiny, butterfly-shaped island at the northwestern tip of Panay in Western Visayas, days can be spent simply lazing on the beach while nights are for indulging in the tropical party lifestyle. The best part of the island is the four-kilometer White Beach hailed as the “finest beach in the world.” The surrounding water is shallow and the sand is finer and brighter than most beaches in the archipelago. White Beach is so, soooo fine, it feels like treading on miles of baby powder! These days, one of the greatest luxuries in life is a “staycation” – to simply have the time for yourself to relax, read that book, catch-up on your stack of magazines, sit and chat about everything and nothing, take a dip in the pool and let the hours pass, and to really stop and smell the roses, or the ocean breeze, or perhaps admire a sunrise or a sunset with your beloved! Eighty eight luxurious and spacious accommodation that include Junior Suites, One Bedroom Suites, One Bedroom Suite Premiere, Two Bedroom Suites and Two Bedroom Suite Premiere, with an area of 40 square meter to 120 square meter. The balcony /terrace has an area of six to 12 square meter. Some rooms have a Jacuzzi; all rooms are generous in size and most have a view of the beach or of the waterfalls and swimming pool; rooms on the hill (upper cluster) have enviable views of the beach and the property.
