The Peninsula Hotels Group roadshow hit town recently when general managers from across the company's luxury portfolio came to London to meet corporate travel buyers, key travel management companies, high-end travel agencies and media.
Accompanying the group on its annual whistlestop tour was the company's chief operating officer Peter Borer.
The company has been no more than a single hotel for much of its long existence but a special one at that — the Peninsula Hong Kong.
It took 50 years from the opening of that hotel till its second opened its doors in Manila. New ones have been launched every few years since, with its most recent new outpost, the Peninsula Paris, opening in 2014, marking its expansion to Europe. Next on the list is London, where the company is rumoured to be investing half a billion pounds.
Does London have too many luxury hotels, is luxury still relevant after the global financial crisis and what are the next cities on the company's wish-list? Watch this short video to find out.
