The Peninsula Hotels Group Kicks Off a Brilliant Festive Season: Upholding Holiday Traditions, Offering a Warm and Welcoming Atmosphere
Musical performances, gourmet feasts, Christmas tree lighting ceremonies, and heartwarming community charity projects add to guests' festive experience.
At the end of each year, The Peninsula Hotels Group upholds holiday traditions, presenting a series of festive activities at Peninsula hotels worldwide to welcome guests. In classic Peninsula style, guests can celebrate the season with loved ones and share unforgettable precious moments.
In addition to introducing new offerings, each Peninsula hotel will continue the classic selections that have been favored by Peninsula guests over the years, including Christmas carol performances, fun children’s workshops, festive cuisine, curated gifts, and opportunities to spread holiday warmth to underprivileged communities near each Peninsula hotel. These are essential choices for many Peninsula guests to celebrate the festive season.
Top-tier restaurants and award-winning dining venues at Peninsula hotels worldwide will present new festive cuisine meticulously crafted by culinary teams. At The Peninsula London, the two-Michelin-starred Brooklands by Claude Bosi will prepare lavish dinners on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, allowing guests to enjoy the food while taking in the brilliant festive lights of London. Guests visiting The Peninsula Paris can enjoy equally outstanding festive dishes at the two-Michelin-starred L'Oiseau Blanc rooftop restaurant and bar, where Executive Chef David Bizet’s black truffle feast will be available as a limited-time offering throughout December. The popular Chesa at The Peninsula Hong Kong will make an appearance at the Pen Top rooftop bar at The Peninsula New York, transforming into a festive pop-up restaurant where guests can savor authentic Swiss cuisine in a relaxed Alpine chalet-style environment.
Peninsula hotels around the world will continue holiday traditions, bringing guests immersive and elegant festive melodies. The Peninsula Manila will invite several renowned singers to perform throughout December, and on the evening of December 7, will hold a grand 40th anniversary Christmas concert together with the Manila Symphony Orchestra. Guests at The Peninsula Beverly Hills can enjoy Peninsula Afternoon Tea at The Living Room throughout the week before Christmas Eve, delighting their taste buds while watching excerpts of the Christmas classic The Nutcracker performed by professional dancers from the Westside Ballet.
Joyful Family Activities
The Peninsula will once again present festive activities loved by family guests, including Christmas tree lighting ceremonies and festive afternoon tea with surprise appearances by Santa Claus. The Peninsula Tokyo will reintroduce the 'Toy Hospital,' where volunteer 'toy doctors' stationed at The Lobby will give new life to children's damaged beloved toys. The Peninsula Chicago’s rooftop ice rink, Sky Rink, will make a grand return, complementing the city’s dazzling night scenery. Family guests at The Peninsula London can, starting from December 14, enjoy multiple classic holiday movies in a 15-seat private cinema while savoring delicious chocolates and Christmas gingerbread.
Each Peninsula hotel will continue to offer curated festive gifts and exquisite pastries this year. Guests at the group’s flagship, The Peninsula Hong Kong, can treat loved ones or reward themselves with spa packages, enjoying the exclusive Margy’s Monte Carlo treatments that revitalize body and mind. The Peninsula Boutiques at The Peninsula Shanghai and The Peninsula Beijing offer a variety of curated gift baskets, featuring Peninsula handmade chocolates, adorable Peninsula teddy bears, and fine accessories — ideal choices for guests to select festive gifts for family and friends. Guests can also visit The Peninsula Arcade, which houses luxury brands such as Chanel, Harry Winston, and Jenny Packham, to carefully pick unique Christmas presents.
Peninsula hotels around the world will hold New Year’s Eve galas to welcome the arrival of 2026. For example, at The Peninsula Bangkok, The Lobby will host a grand New Year’s Eve ball where guests can enjoy a fine dinner, champagne, dancing, and a prime view of the dazzling New Year’s Eve fireworks display over the Chao Phraya River. At The Peninsula Istanbul, the rooftop restaurant and bar Gallada will transform into a New Year’s Eve party venue, offering uniquely flavored Turkish and Asian cuisine and creative cocktails accompanied by the selected music of a resident DJ.
Since its founding, The Peninsula Hotels Group has always cared for underprivileged communities through charitable projects and donations, and continues to spread warmth during the festive season. This year, guests can join Peninsula hotels in spreading love, bringing care and hope to children around the world, raising funds for the Make-A-Wish International Foundation to fulfill the wishes of children suffering from critical illnesses.
