Hotels are not just for accommodation—they can also be a sanctuary for appreciating a fashionable lifestyle. Three Peninsula Hotels in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing Wangfujing have launched the “Peninsula Lifestyle Academy” program (Lifestyle Academy), covering image consulting, gourmet tasting, social etiquette, and golf techniques. The sessions are conducted in English or Mandarin, allowing hotel guests to learn in a relaxed and enjoyable environment while enhancing their confidence and lifestyle taste.

In the image consulting sessions, professional image advisors designated by the hotels provide in-depth consultations to assess each guest’s unique needs. On the day of the event, participants can enjoy VIP shopping experiences at flagship stores in the Peninsula Shopping Arcade and other renowned boutiques, getting early access to limited-edition collections or one-of-a-kind luxury 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 children aged 11 to 13 can learn dance skills while also mastering social interaction.

As for the essential gourmet tasting sessions of a fashionable lifestyle, hotel experts guide participants to deeply understand the art of fine dining and the secrets of appreciating signature dishes and premium ingredients. The Peninsula Hong Kong will also offer caviar, chocolate, and Chinese tea tasting classes, while guests at The Peninsula Shanghai can savor delicacies such as black truffle, oysters, and lobster. For those looking to enhance their wine appreciation skills or build a private wine cellar, sommeliers at The Peninsula Shanghai provide personalized consultations and accompany guests on tours of the hotel’s private wine cellar and collection of fine wines. The Peninsula Beijing offers instruction from celebrity chefs on preparing gourmet banquet dishes.

The final offering, the golf technique courses, is most luxurious at The Peninsula Hong Kong. Participants can take a helicopter from the hotel’s rooftop helipad to the premium golf course in Sai Kung for professional instruction. Meanwhile, at The Peninsula Beijing, guests can arrange personalized golf coaching activities with top-tier instructors. Visit www.peninsula.com.
