||The Peninsula Hong Kong.💙Introduction: The Peninsula Hotel is the oldest existing hotel in Hong Kong, China. It is one of the buildings participating in the 'A Symphony of Lights' show and is known as the 'Grande Dame of the Far East'. It was one of the most advanced and luxurious hotels in Asia at the time. The hotel's construction began in 1922 and was completed in 1926. During its construction, it was temporarily occupied by the British military as a barracks. During the fall of Hong Kong in World War II, on the evening of December 25, 1941, Governor Young signed the surrender document at The Peninsula. During the Japanese occupation, the hotel was requisitioned by the Japanese army as a command center. From the 1950s, The Peninsula was known as the 'Star Cafe' because many movie stars loved to have afternoon tea there. In the 1980s, celebrities such as Leslie Cheung, Cherie Chung, and Maggie Cheung were regular guests. Hollywood star Tom Cruise has also stayed at the hotel. In 1994, the hotel underwent an expansion project, adding a new 30-story wing to the north, with a helipad on the top floor to facilitate VIPs traveling directly by helicopter to and from Hong Kong International Airport or to tour the skies above Hong Kong. The Peninsula Hong Kong is one of the most luxurious and famous hotels in Hong Kong and the world. The hotel has nine Peninsula hotels in Hong Kong, New York, Chicago, Beverly Hills, Tokyo, Bangkok, Beijing, Manila, and Shanghai. The Peninsula Paris opened in 2012.
