World's Best New City Hotel
AsianConnections is proud to present reviews of the world's Asian hotels and resorts - what's in and what's out, what's tired and what's hot.
When one thinks of the most luxurious 5 star hotel in Hong Kong, the Peninsula Hotel, flagship hotel of The Peninsula Group always
comes to mind with its legendary elegance and history as host to the world's most famous guests. While there are numerous other 5 star hotels in the region, the Peninsula Hong Kong has set the gold standard
for the essence of a world class hotel, the ambience, the impeccable level of service, the dining experience, even to the sumptious afternoon tea in the hotel's grand lobby.
The new Peninsula Bangkok continues the gold standard. Just recently opened in
1998, The Peninsula Bangkok is a luxurious hearth that radiates the beauty and tradition of Thailand. Sitting graciously on the west bank of the Chaophraya River, the hotel is
perfectly located near the business and shopping districts of Bangkok. Sights and sounds abound, with the Golden Buddha Temples, the Reclining Buddha, the Grand
Palace, the Temple of Dawn and Chinatown all close-by. Inside, you will find Asia's best cuisine, such as award winning restaurants Mei Jiang and Jesters, and spacious rooms and suites.
