The Peninsula Hong Kong

The Peninsula Hong Kong is a city hotel wedding rather than an estate, and its appeal is polish. The function rooms look out across Victoria Harbour, and a dedicated team of wedding planners stays with you through every detail of the day.

What sets it apart is the bench of specialists. You plan flowers with the hotel florists, and the menus, desserts and drinks are built with the chefs and sommeliers. There is also a set wedding package for the Salisbury Room, so ask which room suits your guest list. For couples who want a grand city celebration with very little left to chance, this is a strong place to start.

The Salisbury Room package is the clearest guide to the day. It includes one-to-one sessions with the florist, the Executive Pastry Chef, the Maître Chocolatier, the Banquet Chef and the Chief Sommelier, and the menu is a tailored Chinese banquet. Banquets are set for tables of 12, and the team can share current packages and spends.

The package adds the hotel's own champagne for the top table, themed floral centrepieces, a seven-tier display cake, upgraded linens with matching place cards and menus, and five hours of Rolls-Royce bridal car. Legal ceremonies can take place here, with the Garden Suite for daytime vows or the open-air Sun Terrace. Ask the team about the evening programme.

The Salisbury Room package looks after the couple well. It includes a two-night honeymoon suite stay, with fruit, flowers and a bottle of champagne waiting, and breakfast with more champagne in your room the next morning. There is also a two-hour spa session for the pair of you, plus a suite night and a celebration dinner on your first anniversary.

The hotel has 297 rooms, 53 of them suites, so ask the team about a room block for guests. From Hong Kong International Airport, the Airport Express reaches Central in about 24 minutes, and free shuttle buses link its Kowloon and Hong Kong stations with many larger hotels. Ask the team about car transfers too.
