Tracking the Peninsula's rich history and tradition

The Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong has long been an icon for luxury and glamour. Built in 1928 across the road from what was the Kowloon-Canton Railway terminal, it has welcomed international travelers since opening its doors 85 years ago.

And now, the story of Asia's oldest hotel company, and of the Peninsula's owner, has been documented in a 45-minute film named Traditions Well Served. It traces the story from brothers Ellis and Elly Kadoorie, who started the company in the 1880s, to Elly's grandson Michael Kadoorie, the current chairman.

The film features archival footage, historical photographs and interviews, illustrating the long history and traditions of the family, the company and the hotels.
