Riverboat, Rolls-Royce, tuktuk or chopper? Take your pick at The Peninsula Hotels.
There are countless five-star hotels and resorts around the world, many offering similar levels of personalised service, elevated dining, dreamy spas, and stylish interiors. What sets some apart, however, is their onsite experiences. Certain properties may have incredible wildlife on their doorstep. Others might hide secret gardens within their walls, or boast a unique historical element. Some five-star stays go further, offering unique ways to explore the city or arrive in style. At The Peninsula Hotels, transportation is more than a way to get from one place to another; it is an extension of the brand’s commitment to luxury, service and cultural authenticity. From Rolls-Royces and riverboats to tuk-tuks and helicopters, these are the extraordinary vehicles and transport experiences enjoyed by Peninsula guests.
