Michelin Guide
"No detail is overlooked... The Peninsula Spa offers a temple of serenity in the heart of the Gold Coast."
Concierge
"The 339 rooms at this swank Gold Coaster, aptly located next to Tiffany, are patrician and huge... Avoiding flash for understated glamour, they glow in a fitting palette of soft golds."
Fodor's
"On weekend nights the Peninsula's soaring lobby lounge becomes a sweet fantasia, centered on an overflowing chocolate buffet."

"If you're the loll-around-in-bed type, this is a great place to do it; the super-comfy beds feature cushiony pillow-top mattresses, soft duvets, and mounds of pillows."

"Details from the former 1929 Beaux Arts gentleman's club can be seen in the lobby's vaulted arches and gold-leaf ceiling, although a 2009 renovation added thoroughly modern touches."
Lonely Planet
"Employees all wear black at this hip hotel where the soaring ‘living room’ (lobby/bar) feels a little like a dance club, especially when the DJ gets going."
