Rachel from United Kingdom (10/10)
The location is unsurpassed, on the European side but walking to the Asian side of the city. A restbite in a heaving metropolis. The view is amazing overlooking the river and the roof top bar a must for sundowners, cosy and sophisticated and great cocktails. All the staff were wonderful and couldn’t do more for you. special praise to the lovely Bora, the manager of the lobby restaurant, and the lovely lady at the concierge who organised a beautiful box of peninsula chocolates for me at short notice! ( sorry I didn’t get her name!)
