Hotels are not just for accommodation—they can also be a temple of tasteful, fashionable living. Three Peninsula Hotels in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing’s Wangfujing have launched the “Peninsula Lifestyle Academy” (Lifestyle Academy), offering courses in image consulting, gourmet tasting, social etiquette, and golf skills. The activities are conducted in either English or Mandarin, allowing hotel guests to learn in a relaxed and enjoyable environment, enhancing their confidence and lifestyle taste.

In the image academy, professional image consultants designated by the hotel provide in-depth consultations to assess guests’ unique needs. On the day of the event, participants can enjoy VIP shopping experiences at luxury stores in the Peninsula Shopping Arcade and other high-end boutiques, getting early access to limited-edition collections or one-of-a-kind items. For social etiquette, The Peninsula Hotels offer a series of courses for adults and children aged 7 to 12, covering table manners, floral table arrangements, and tips for planning banquets or cocktail parties. Additionally, The Peninsula Shanghai offers a social dance etiquette class, where kids aged 11 to 13 can learn dance techniques while also mastering social skills.

 

As for the essential gourmet tasting courses in a fashionable lifestyle, hotel experts guide participants in gaining an in-depth understanding of the art of fine dining and the secrets of appreciating gourmet dishes and ingredients. The Peninsula Hong Kong will also offer caviar, chocolate, and Chinese tea tasting classes, while guests at The Peninsula Shanghai can explore the flavors of delicacies such as black truffles, oysters, and lobsters. Those wishing to enhance their wine appreciation skills or build a private wine cellar can receive personalized consultations from the sommelier at The Peninsula Shanghai, who will also accompany them on a tour of the hotel’s private wine cellar and its collection of fine wines. The Peninsula Wangfujing, meanwhile, offers instruction from master chefs on the techniques of preparing gourmet banquet dishes.

The final item, the golf skills course, offers the most luxurious learning experience at The Peninsula Hong Kong. Guests can take the hotel’s private helicopter from the rooftop helipad to the Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course in Sai Kung for private coaching. The Peninsula Wangfujing can arrange private training sessions led by China’s top golf coach, Wei Jingsheng. For details, please visit www.peninsula.com.
