The Peninsula Hotels group stands out among the world’s leading luxury hotel brands. Owned and operated by The Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited (HSH), it has a proud heritage dating back to 1866. HSH is Asia’s oldest still-in-operation hotel company.
The flagship hotel opened in Hong Kong in 1928. Today, the brand portfolio includes ten luxury hotels globally. Each property reflects the group’s commitment to elegance, innovation, and exceptional service.
The Peninsula Paris is a historic luxury hotel originally known as the Hotel Majestic. During World War I, it served as a field hospital for wounded officers. In World War II, it became the headquarters of the German military high command in France.
After a complex and costly restoration, the hotel reopened in August 2014. It now combines historic charm with modern luxury, offering guests a unique experience.
Recently, The Peninsula Paris hosted renowned artist Grimanesa Amorós for a special event. Amorós shared insights into her artistic practice and the philosophy behind her immersive light installations. She discussed how her work bridges art, technology, and cultural identity, offering a fresh perspective on contemporary art.
Amorós’s talk provided a deep dive into her creative process. She explained how her installations transform spaces and engage viewers. Her ability to merge art, science, and emotion resonated with the audience, inspiring them to think creatively.
The event highlighted the transformative power of art in luxury hospitality. Amorós’s work aligns with The Peninsula’s mission to celebrate innovation and cultural exchange. Her lecture left a lasting impression on attendees.
The Peninsula Hotels continue to host events that bring together artists, thinkers, and guests. These gatherings provide opportunities for learning, networking, and collaboration. By fostering meaningful interactions, the group empowers individuals to engage with art and culture in new ways.
