The luxury Peninsula Hotels has just introduced the new Peninsula Academy program, giving guests the chance to craft bespoke experiences during their travels and truly become immersed in local culture, history and lifestyle.
Although the name "Academy" seems to imply long-term enrollment, the program is designed so that there are a number of different experiences guests can get a taste of. This includes programs like The Peninsula Hong Kong's Caviar Connoisseurship, The Peninsula New York's Private MoMA Tour, or The Peninsula Shanghai's Heritage City Tour, which involves activities like a luxury drive to some of the city's hottest spots in a 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom.
As well as many Academy programs for adults, Peninsula also has many options for kids, like origami lessons at the Peninsula Tokyo.
