View RSS Feed On December 3, 1988, The Peninsula Hotels parent company, The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited, established its U.S. Peninsula flagship when it purchased the 23-storey Beaux-Arts landmark building ideally situated on the corner of 55th street and 5th Avenue in New York City. At that time, The Peninsula New York was one of the first Asia-based hotel brands to establish itself in the United States, and the property strived to follow in the footsteps of the hotel groups Grand Old Lady, The Peninsula Hong Kong, by providing luxurious comfort combined with exceptional,
personalized service.

In 1998, a sweeping reconstruction project orchestrated by the architects Brennan, Beer, Gorman and the design firm of Hirsch Bedner Associates, updated The Peninsula New Yorks ambiance, seamlessly merging contemporary fabrics, furnishings and technology with the many classical design elements already present in the hotel.

As the hotel celebrates its 20th Anniversary, it continues to enjoy success as one of the most desirable luxury hotel properties in New York, and was recently named the Best Business Hotel in New York by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine.
