The Peninsula Hotels Celebrates Multiple Honours in The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2026

The iconic Peninsula Hong Kong

Wanderlust Union is delighted to celebrate global client The Peninsula Hotels following its outstanding recognition in The 50 Best Hotels 2026. The Peninsula Istanbul was named No. 31 and The Peninsula Hong Kong No. 46, marking the first time both properties have been included in the prestigious top 50. The Peninsula Shanghai also made its debut on the extended list at No. 99, placing three Peninsula hotels among the world’s leading luxury addresses.

The honours span three distinctive cities and generations of Peninsula hospitality. Opened in 1928, The Peninsula Hong Kong remains an enduring icon as it approaches its centenary, while The Peninsula Istanbul has become a modern landmark on the Bosphorus just three years after opening. On Shanghai’s historic Bund, The Peninsula Shanghai brings together Art Deco elegance, contemporary luxury and a strong sense of place.

Curated by an independent academy of more than 800 international hospitality experts, The World’s 50 Best Hotels celebrates properties setting new benchmarks in service, creativity and guest experience. Recognition across Hong Kong, Istanbul and Shanghai reflects The Peninsula Hotels’ ability to honour the culture and character of each destination while maintaining its globally renowned standard of gracious hospitality.
