I have been wanting to have afternoon tea here at the Peninsula HK for a while and finally managed to set time for it this trip. I have to say overall it was a pleasant experience but a few things disappointed me. The food while traditional and nicely presented, it wasn't anything outstanding for such an establishment and what is... More

Lobby is a great place for a drink. It's especially atmospheric at Christmas. This is the place to get "High Tea at the Peninsula" which I think is totally overrated, so watch out. You end up waiting in line for ages, and although the lobby is beautiful and service is impeccable, I think that the fact that there's no view... More

Very English, complemented by the grandeur of the the lobby and sophisticated live music, the Afternoon Tea at The Peninsula Hotel is uniquely fascinating. An absolute must-try for time visitors, it is ideal for entertaining, enjoy a good cup of tea and cakes or simply rendezvous with good old friends whilst in Hong Kong. It is consistently busy and popular... More

Visited here for afternoon tea one afternoon. It was a very special experience, in such a beautiful setting. However be aware that you may have to queue for a long long time until you are seated, I think we were waiting for at least an hour, on a Sunday. Also we ordered afternoon tea and the afternoon tea snacks did... More

Iconic and grand...this lobby is reminiscent of the glory days of the Peninsula and makes one feel very special to be there to share the space. The ceilings are especially grand, worth a visit if you are not staying there.

Food and tea was ok. Atmosphere and service ok. Expensive. Had to queue for 40 minutes (got in position at 1.20 p.m. to be seated at 2 p.m.). I hate queuing and it seems to unnecessary - why can't they accept reservations? Compared to, say, The Ritz in London - which was outstanding - it was simply ok.

We was there for Breakfast: The menu is divided as in the large hotels in the U.S., there are continental and American breakfast in a menu sequence or you can put together some things. We once had American breakfast for me and Eggs Benedict with toast for my wife. From the American breakfast was served only what was ordered. The... More

Been to many an afternoon tea around London but it was just nice to sample the elegance of the Peninsula. The price I would say is good value for a two person afternoon tea menu and enough food and tea for a hungry couple. Relaxed surroundings and free wifi (ask at the service desk). The only way you could get... More

Still a major item on the list for visitors when they come to see you in Hong Kong Peninsula provides one of the best afternoon teas in the world. I am not sure that many locals come very often and it's always a pleasant trip when you have friends in town to revisit this spot.
