The Peninsula- Hong Kong, Hong Kong

And, as he walk'd, t'himself alone he smiled, To think how Venus' Arts he had beguil'd;
And when he slept, his Rest was deep:
But Venus laugh'd, to see and hear him sleep:
She taught the am'rous Jove
A magical Receipt in Love,
Which arm'd him stronger, and which help'd him more,
Than all his Thunder did, and his Almighty ship before.

Two densely packed miles from Kai-Tak Airport stands the Peninsula, one of the grandest hotels in the world. A stay here is a case study in class, luxury, and service. Rarely will you find these ingredients perfectly blended in such abundance. As a result, you will be rewarded with romantic memories sure to last a lifetime. Built in 1928, the Peninsula stands guard over the South Kowloon shoreline. Its wings spread out to form a towering thirty-story landmark. The wings were added only several years ago and regained the Peninsula's famous views and nearly doubled the hotel's capacity. Inside you'll find 300 rooms and suites that combine luxurious period furnishings with high-tech features like dataports and other items that are not important for a romantic experience. The hotel's gracefully elegant lobby sets the tone for the entire hotel with its columns and gilt cornices. Here you'll find the concierge and be able to enjoy tea while watching other guests or marveling at the efficiency of the valets attending to the guests' needs. Just outside the lobby, you'll discover the hotel's Rolls Royces which you can use for a price (a high price). At the top of the tower is Felix, one of Asia's most romantic restaurants boasting a commanding view of Victoria Harbor and the business district's skyscrapers. Felix serves delicious and elegant cuisine in this idyllic setting and is an experience that you must indulge in even if you are not staying at the hotel. In addition to the Felix, the Peninsula features four other fine restaurants: Imasa, serving Japanese cuisine; Spring Moon, for authentic Cantonese; Verandah, specializing in continental cuisine; and the famous Gaddi's, one of the region's best French restaurants. When not eating, you can relax at the new, terraced pool or the spa which is located in the tower.
