TLE have been a long-term fan of Hong Kong ever since we first encountered it a number of years ago. It?s perfect mix of east meets west, compact size, convenient public transport system, shopping, nightlife, food and bars in abundance have made it a great place – be it a quick weekend getaway to a week of city surfing.
On our most recent trip to the city we explored and enjoyed some of Hong Kong?s newer luxury hotel offerings as well as some old favourites that all have the TLE factor. So read on and learn more about our favourite hotels in the city.
Peninsula (Kowloon Side)

Walk past the hotel’s Peninsula Shopping Arcade with names like Goyard, Harry Winston and Graff and its fleet of Peninsula green Phantom Rolls Royce and you know you are in the pinnacle of luxury ? which is no coincidence given its name and location TST (the tip of mainland China). Whilst the hotel has retained its colonial past both inside and out, it embraces technology with open arms ? rooms have the latest gadgets and a loyal workforce (many of which have spent a lifetime in service) keep the hotel?s attention to detail above and beyond other brands in the city.
