The hotel features 5 restaurants, a cigar bar, and a casual café with crêpes and artisanal chocolates. You’re welcome to dine in the privacy of your suite, arranging delivery of your meals through your 24/7 concierge. Alternatively, have your dinner catered from your restaurant of choice and delivered discreetly through your valet box.

Canton Blue serves Cantonese cuisine, including dim sum and a la carte menu. The innovative design is part of the experience, inspired by the maritime trade ship passage connecting the East to the West. Canton Blue features two private dining rooms, The Silk Room and The Music Room.

A laid-back twist on Canton Blue, with a smaller menu of noodles, dumplings, pork buns, spring rolls, and elevated casual cuisine.

The Lobby
This all-day restaurant features international cuisine. It’s located in the hotel’s vibrant interior courtyard. We understand the courtyard may be too public for your liking, but feel free to order room service from The Lobby for breakfast or brunch.
Peninsula Boutiques and Café
Another reason the Peninsula is one of our top picks for London date hotels is the shopping arcade of 8 boutiques and retailers. We can arrange to have artisanal chocolates sent to your room or a custom floral arrangement from the floral atelier. The casual café offers light breakfast, casual food, and has an afternoon Crêpe Trolley. Order anything you like through your concierge.
The Tasting Room
Don’t let the name fool you, as the Tasting Room is a cigar lounge. Mingle with other gentlemen while you smoke a cigar and sip an apéritif before or after your date. All other areas of the hotel are strictly non-smoking, but you may have cigars sent to your room to return home with.
