Cleanup: Advert / Superlatives / Unsourced

[edit]

The article reads like it was written by the hotel's own marketing staff, with the following non-neutral or unsupported statements:

  • "one of the most internationally recognizable" (sourced to hotel's website)
  • "is the flagship property" (unsourced / hotels talk about their "properties" this way)
  • "widely regarded as one of the region's legendary properties." (unsourced)
  • "the finest hotel east of Suez." (unsourced)
  • "From the moment the hotel opened...the Peninsula name has been synonymous with welcoming the rich, the famous, the titled and the titans of industry to a place of unsurpassed luxury and service." (unsourced)
  • "shade of green known as "Peninsula green". (known by whom?)
  • "The Peninsula Hotel has a collection of highly acclaimed restaurants." (unsourced)
  • "one of the oldest fashion arcade in Hong Kong" (unsourced)
