Conceived by The Peninsula Hotels in-house design team assisted by Getty's as executive interior designer, the newly enhanced rooms showcase the finest materials and craftsmanship, boasting a bespoke luxury residential feel.

"Innovation is part of the tradition of this hotel," said The Peninsula Hotels' Chief Operating Officer, Mr Peter Borer. "This concept will usher in a new era of in-room comfort, showcasing our leadership role in bringing the latest guest-focused technology to the world."
