What Hongkong & Shanghai Hotels does

Owner and operator of The Peninsula luxury hotel brand, plus related property and club interests.

Owns most of its hotels outright, so room and restaurant sales carry the business, with the Hong Kong flagship a large part of it. Rent from commercial and residential property, such as The Repulse Bay, and the Peak Tram cushion hotel swings. The Kadoorie family controls the company.

In one line: Asia's answer to a small, ultra-luxury Four Seasons owner.
