The suite was designed by Henry Leung of Chhada Siembieda Leung Ltd in conjunction with The Peninsula Hotels’ in-house team. “I was inspired by Paris’ reputation as the fashion capital of the world, and so based my design concept on haute couture flair, which expressed itself throughout the room in various ways”, explains Leung.
