The Peninsula Hotels: All 12 Properties, Rates & PenClub
Twelve hotels in nearly a century. One family, no compromises, and a Rolls-Royce fleet painted in proprietary green.
By Biirdee Travel, Luxury Travel Concierge · Updated June 10, 2026
The Peninsula is luxury hospitality's most disciplined brand. The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels company has been at it since 1928 (the year The Peninsula Hong Kong opened as the "Grande Dame of the Far East"), and in almost a hundred years it has opened exactly twelve hotels. No management-contract sprawl, no soft-brand collection: each Peninsula is majority-owned by the family company, built or restored over a decade, and run as a flagship. In 2025, all twelve received Michelin Key recognition: a clean sweep no other brand of this size achieved.
The portfolio splits neatly: six Asian originals (Hong Kong, Manila, Beijing, Bangkok, Tokyo, Shanghai), three American city hotels (New York, Beverly Hills, Chicago), and the three European-era statements; Paris (2014), then London and Istanbul, both opened in 2023 after decades of site hunting.
Peninsula in Brief
- Twelve hotels worldwide as of June 2026, and no pipeline; the next opening is wherever the family finds a site worthy of a 100-year hold.
- No public loyalty program. PenClub is an invitation-only travel-advisor program: booking through an affiliated advisor adds upgrades, breakfast and credits at no extra cost.
- The Peninsula Hong Kong holds Two Michelin Keys (2025) and remains the brand benchmark: entry from ~US$500–700, a relative bargain for what it is.
- The Peninsula London (2023) is the priciest, from ~£1,300 a night; the Asian originals are the value plays.
- Signature theatrics: the green Rolls-Royce Phantom fleet, rooftop helipads in Hong Kong, and page-boy heritage everywhere.

PenClub, Decoded, and How to Get the Benefits
Peninsula runs no points program and never has. What it runs instead is PenClub: an invitation-only program for vetted travel advisors. A PenClub booking costs exactly the same as booking direct, but arrives with room upgrades (subject to availability, often confirmed at booking), daily breakfast for two, a property credit, early/late check-in and out, and VIP recognition from a brand whose service culture actually delivers on that word.
The catch is simply access; you can't join PenClub yourself. Booking through Biirdee gets you PenClub-grade benefits via our preferred partnerships: same rate as the Peninsula website, perks attached, one email to arrange it. The math is straightforward: breakfast alone at The Peninsula London runs £45+ a head.
Peninsula FAQs
What is the best Peninsula hotel?
Hong Kong for the legend and Two Michelin Keys; Tokyo and Chicago for the best pure hotel product; Istanbul for the most beautiful setting of the twelve. There are no weak entries; the portfolio is too small to carry one.
Does Peninsula have a loyalty program?
No public program. PenClub is invitation-only for travel advisors: guests get its benefits (upgrades, breakfast, credits) by booking through an affiliated advisor or concierge like Biirdee, at the same rate as direct.
How many Peninsula hotels are there?
Exactly twelve, and none under construction: Hong Kong, Manila, Beijing, Bangkok, Tokyo, Shanghai, New York, Beverly Hills, Chicago, Paris, Istanbul and London.
Peninsula or Four Seasons?
Peninsula owns its hotels and runs twelve; Four Seasons manages 130+. Peninsula buys you consistency and owner-level investment; Four Seasons buys you coverage. In cities where both exist (Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris, London), Peninsula usually edges service depth; Four Seasons usually wins on room count and availability.

A concierge travel agency: paid by the hotel, never by you
Biirdee Travel books luxury hotels through preferred-partner programs: you pay the same rate as booking direct, the partner benefits attach to your reservation, and a human concierge handles the details end to end.

Destination or property, rough dates, who’s traveling. The form takes two minutes and commits you to nothing.
A concierge replies within hours
A real person checks availability, compares properties honestly, and confirms the perks your stay qualifies for: upgrades, breakfast, and credits where available.
Book at the same rate as direct
The hotel pays our commission out of the rate you’d pay anyway, so the perks cost you nothing. Before and during the trip, one concierge on WhatsApp handles requests and changes.
