Friday Night at the Peninsula Hotel!

The Peninsula Hotel opened in 1928 and was Hong Kong's first hotel...and it is magnificent. According to Wikipedia (I love Wikipedia) it has been recognized as the world's best hotel on a couple of occasions, and after last night, I can see why.

Before I go on, let me show you a few photos of this incredible place.

Here is the exterior:

Here is the lobby:

And here is the bar we spent the evening at, called "Felix":

It is on the 28th floor, and overlooks all of downtown Hong Kong. It was so beautiful.

Anyways, we had a great time. The service was incredible, the people were interesting, and the atmosphere was exhilarating...which somehow made spending $10 - $25 Canadian dollars on each drink okay. Hahaha.

I am definitely going back. The place is supposed to be famous for its "Afternoon Tea"...it is the place to go to mingle with Hong Kong's elite. And why shouldn't I be in that group?
