Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels (HSH), which was incorporated on March 2, 1866, last week celebrated its 150th anniversary with a gala party at The Peninsula Hong Kong.
Among the highlights were a series of giant balloons flanking the property’s facade, showcasing inflated renditions of the group’s icons like the 1934 Phantom II vintage Rolls-Royce, MD902 Helicopter and Peninsula Pageboy; plus other Hong Kong landmarks like The Peak Tram and The Repulse Bay Complex.
The evening’s guest of honour was CY Leung, chief executive of the Government of The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, among other VIPs including Carrie Lam, chief secretary for administration of the Government of The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Michael Kadoorie, chairman of HSH. Over 2,000 guests attended the gala event.
