The Peninsula Hotels Expands Its Peninsula Academy To All Asian Properties |
|
Academy’s Popularity at Peninsula Hong Kong Spurs Development of Cultural and Culinary Programmes in Beijing, Bangkok and Manila |
The Peninsula Hotels, in its ongoing quest to satisfy the needs and wants of today’s travellers, is expanding its popular Peninsula Academy across its properties in Asia – Hong Kong, Beijing, Bangkok and Manila with the Academy À La Carte programme of cultural activities tailored to suit guests individual interest and schedule.
The Peninsula Academy was the original creation of The Peninsula Hotels’ flagship The Peninsula Hong Kong, and aims to offer hotel guests unique and unforgettable ways to experience first-hand each city’s culture, lifestyle, cuisine, arts and history through individualized tours, classes and activities.
“We heard from our guests that, in addition to our signature Peninsula service and amenities, they also wanted a way to experience the local culture, but in Peninsula style,” commented Peter C. Borer, Chief Operating Officer of The Peninsula Hotels. “Therefore, we created The Peninsula Academy to provide our guests with a selection of programmes offering an intelligent and authentic look into Hong Kong’s unique East-meets-West culture. The Academy has proved so successful for Hong Kong that we have decided to expand it across all our Asian properties, as each of these cities offers something wonderfully different.”
The Peninsula Hotels’ Asian properties – The Peninsula Hong Kong, The Peninsula Palace Beijing, The Peninsula Bangkok and The Peninsula Manila – now each offer a wide array of fascinating and culturally enriching programmes to its guests on an “à la carte” basis. Programmes are unique to each city and have been meticulously researched to provide expert guidance and instruction in a variety of areas – from cuisine to arts and antiques to history to holistics. All Academy À La Carte programmes are available for the most part with just a few days’ notice, so guests can choose activities according to their own interests and travel schedule.
