The Peninsula Hong Kong Launches Analogue Record Series at Felix

As luxury hospitality continues to evolve through experience-led storytelling, The Peninsula Hong Kong introduced The Analogue Record Series—a new weekly music concept that brought vinyl culture, curated sound and elevated dining together at its iconic rooftop venue, Felix. Launched in April 2026, the series transformed the Philippe Starck-designed space into an intimate, analogue-inspired lounge, reinforcing The Peninsula Hotels’ position at the forefront of immersive luxury experiences.

Held every Thursday evening, the series was presented in partnership with The Wake Concept Listening Room and featured vinyl-only DJ sets from a rotating line-up of respected local and international talent. Guests experienced genre-spanning sounds—from soul and jazz to Balearic and funk—delivered through carefully curated sets designed to create atmosphere without overpowering conversation. Set against sweeping views of Victoria Harbour, the experience evolved throughout the evening, blending music, mood and setting in a way that defined modern luxury hospitality.

The Analogue Record Series also introduced a nostalgic yet refined culinary offering, designed to complement the vinyl-led concept. Felix’s Chef de Cuisine created a playful menu of elevated snacks—from reimagined shrimp toast to gourmet popcorn and mini burgers—each presented with subtle nods to retro music culture. Alongside this, a collection of signature cocktails crafted by the hotel’s Head Mixologist drew inspiration from the ritual of playing records, delivering a multi-sensory experience that balanced creativity with precision.

At its core, the series reflected The Peninsula Hotels’ long-standing ability to bridge heritage with contemporary culture. By reinterpreting analogue music traditions through a modern luxury lens, the brand continued to create meaningful, design-led experiences that resonate with today’s global traveller.
