The Hong Kong Flagship Hotels Battle

PART 4: THE PENINSULA HONG KONG

 

Arguably the first hotel to provide such elaborate and cohesive service directory in electronic form. It's actually all online-based. Good bye all those chunky Room Service Menu Book with traces of saliva in the olden days at other hotels, it's all easy breezy and paperless at The Peninsula.
