Get ready for take-off! Announcing Forbes Travel Guide's Inaugural Verified Air Travel Awards. 
The Peninsula Spa Hong Kong is one of the most lavish places in the city to indulge in some well-deserved pampering. Set on the seventh floor of the grand colonial-era hotel, the 12,000-square-foot spa sits in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui but feels far removed from the frenetic neighborhood.
The welcome lounge features soft shades of beige alongside granite details and feng shui elements, such as a lush bamboo forest weaving nature into the space. While your therapist conducts an in-depth personal consultation, you'll relax with cool hand towels and a warm cup of ginger-honey tea.
Once checked in, you’ll be escorted across the hall to the changing room before heading upstairs to explore the spa’s wonderland of heat and water treatment facilities in the Thermal Suite. You’ll want to arrive early to relax and unwind before your therapy begins in one of the 14 soundproof treatment rooms.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- The two-story spa is home to 14 spacious treatment rooms that each
promise stunning views of the Hong Kong skyline, alongside plush treatment
beds, candles and cozy wood decor.
- The most luxurious suite includes a private Jacuzzi, ideal for couples and special occasions.
- The water and heat treatment facilities in the Thermal Suite are
breathtaking — think hammam-style steam rooms, aromatherapy showers, infrared
ice fountains and a sauna overlooking famous Victoria Harbour.
- After your treatment, you’ll be escorted to a relaxation tea lounge
where you’ll find comfy lounge chairs, blankets, dried fruits, teas and more
skyline views.
- The spa is known for its results-oriented facials and traditional
Chinese-style massages, so we’d recommend you try both.
- You’ll love the thoughtful little details, from the Egyptian cotton
Frette robes to the automated Clodagh Gemini massage beds.
Things to Know
- You are encouraged to arrive an hour before your
treatment to enjoy the relaxation facilities, and we’d highly recommend you
make the most of this precious time.
- This is a sought-after address, so ensure you book at
least a week in advance if you hope to snag a weekend appointment.
- Weekdays are much quieter and, if you time it right,
you just might have the whole relaxation zone to yourself.
- Craving something other than ginger tea? The spa
also offersThe Peninsula’s own organic blend upon request.
The Treatments
- The Hong Kong spa provides a mix of traditional Chinese
therapies and cutting-edge treatments, such as the indulgent 100-minute Margy’s Ultimate Radiance Aesthetic Facial. The service
harnesses the power of Margy’s anti-aging products, which have a cult following
among European VIPs for a reason.
- The spa’s ESPA product range emphasizes natural
ingredients and is used for the majority of massages, including the signature Peninsula Time treatment. Completely
bespoke, the two-hour experience could combine a mix of zone-specific massages,
facials, acupressure and foot massages to accommodate whatever you need on the
day.
- After a few days of high-end cuisine, we might suggest a treatment from the Body Contour
Collection. The 30-minute Vanquish Reshape & Contour treatment provides a
non-invasive solution that harnesses acoustic waves to reduce cellulite, lift
saggy muscle tone and boost collagen production for a smoother silhouette.
- The spa is a haven for gents as well as women, thanks
to dedicated treatments such as the Purifying Facial for Men. This
deep-cleansing ritual will leave skin feeling hydrated and supple, before
topping it all off with a stress-busting shoulder, neck and head massage.
The Facilities
- Henry Leung of Chhada Siembieda Leung designed the spa
to combine traditional Chinese elements, sculptures, video installations and
floral artwork. The elevator, for example, features an animated installation titled Breathing Wall by
Colombian artist Monika Bravo.
- The journey begins in the welcome lounge, which feels
like a luxurious Chinese residence. As you’re escorted deeper into the spa,
relaxing water features and stone gardens create a smooth transition into the
world of wellness.
- The two-story wellness center is also home to a
59-foot indoor pool surrounded by glamorous Roman columns and reliefs, as well
as an outdoor sun deck with ever-coveted harbor views.
- The state-of-the-art fitness studio comes equipped
with Life Fitness cardio machines, free weights and personal training services
should you need some extra motivation. Post-workout, unwind in the whirlpool,
cold plunge pool, sauna and steam rooms found in the men’s and women’s locker
rooms.
