AND they actually acted enthused and happy to be gushing over Gabby, Tim and Casper! That, in my opinion, is the important part..Sure, they can 'pamper' you with luxury and all that, but if they don't have a GENUINE smile and pleasant attitude about doing it, it kind of falls flat..
I have serious hotel envy… I would absolutely love that place. It’s stunning. What’s nice is that it’s not shouting ‘look at us, we’re expensive!’. It’s beautiful luxurious calm… And there was so much food in that meal! Looked incredible…
What makes your channel unique is the participation of your wife, when she can, who is very likeable and her bringing Casper. This is what works for your channel and makes it unique. The other thing is you guys are down to earth. You are a great family and we love the channel. Please keep on taking us to these wonderful places. Can't wait for the next one.
As someone who'se going to be travelling with kids more I really appreciate these. I really enjoyed the Ritz-Carlton in Tenerife (albeit that was just Tim) when we stayed there. I like the variation on this channel so it's not all ultra luxury but a mix of things.
I used to think success was all about working harder. Then I read The Secret Doctrine of Wealth, and it completely shifted my mindset. It’s amazing how much clarity can come from the right book.
I think this is the first luxury hotel review from Tim where there were no disappointments lurking behind the glitz and glamour. I'll never stay at a place like this, so it's a treat to see the ins and outs.
Hey Tim 👋🏼 from Fitchburg, Massachusetts USA. I wanted to say thank you for your amazing content! My husband asked me why I enjoyed your show. My answer was that you take me places I may never see in my lifetime. Now he watches with me 😂 Btw, hi to Gabby and Casper! My favorite episodes include them both
_Thanks Tim. God bless you and your sweet family. I love the in depth reviews and watch them to unwind after a long day. I’ve never contributed money to any RUclips channel, but I felt compelled. I’m starting off small lol. I’m not wealthy enough to pay much more lmao. This channel is pure gold._
The little oranges are kumquats - the peels are sweet and aromatic contrast to the tart insides. They are eaten with the peel for best enjoyment - a lovely winter luxury. Guys - my understanding is that the highly cultured response to glasses of chilled wines is to hold them by the stem - keeping the wine cold longer by not warming it with your fingers. Red wines / warm wines hold by the goblet - as keeping it cool is no issue.
Hmm, I haven't associated the knowledge of how to hold chilled wine glasses (esp flutes) w/being necessarily "Highly-cultured" ... I've just considered that gen knowledge re wine not everyone knows.
@@sherryw1919 Okay . . . you're right . . . so far as that goes. But there is more from the other side. There are many little bits of info that are 'common knowledge' in wealthy circles that are not as universal elsewhere - and these become markers. Most make sense once you know them, and many are no big deal, essentially, but are notable if one is noting. Being informed on various markers can help one when swimming in their pond. I'm not judging, but they may. There are whole regions of info and resourcefulness that are common knowledge in every economic class that are less universal in others. It's not a huge deal like chewing with your mouth closed or not blowing your nose at the table. It's more like folding your napkin in your lap so the fold is closer to your knees, allowing easy access and secure containment of anything you might need to hide in it - a detail of fine dining one may not learn in other circles (but everyone knows if they have been groomed for it) therefore it stands out to them w/o you even knowing - if you have that bit missing. It's a lot like when a writer of notes mis-applies apostrophes for plurals. (If I wrote it as "Its a lot like when a writer of note's misapply's apostrophe's for plural's.") This knowledge of English apostrophe usage for possessive form (but not for plurals unless it includes possession) is taught in first grade - and it's easy once one has the explanation of when and why to use an apostrophe - but until one has learned it, it's a bit of a tell to a first grade teacher that you might have been a distracted student (or had a distracted first grade teacher). It won't end the day, but it reveals less training in an area that some circles would consider basic.
Sure looks like a kumquat. I remember as a kid you could only get them in the states canned and packed in syrup. I loved them even then, but fresh is better!
The reason they say that cigars are a journey is because they change as you smoke them. Cigars are split into thirds usually, and each third is said to have subtle changes due to their handmade construction and difference in the parts of leafs. A cigar is made from a wrapper binder and filler. An intresting fact too is torpeados or Figurados (the ones with pointed ends) are usually left to a specfic few people to roll as theyre much harder to roll correctly. Its really intresting if you ever get chance to go to a cigar tasting event where they teach you about how a cigar is made start to finish. Turmeaus have lounges all over the uk and theyre events are top notch! Enjoying the content 😁
For the services, welcoming gifts, meals, amenities for Casper, I believe the price was reasonable for a very high end hotel. It appeared to be better than the many other luxury hotels you have reviewed in London or elsewhere. Excellent review - thank you.
I loved this hotel and will stay there once my money comes in. What I love about your videos is that you are always respectful and nice to all the staff from most important to least. You’re also kind and respectful to your wife, even if you did lead her to believe that she ate a goldfish (for a minute).
I once dealt with the Peninsula in a work capacity. Had to make a slightly out-of-the-ordinary request for a client, but the team were so incredibly responsive, quick and incredibly helpful. Such a dream, and I hope one day I might be able to treat myself to a night there 😅
Wow. That was amazing. I was glued to the screen all the way through. You both have a way of making me feel like I am actually experiencing the place you are in, whether it is a plane journey or hotel etc and what a sweet, well behaved boy Casper is. I always keep an eye out for the latest excursion you are sharing.
It's so nice that you're documenting everything so that you can look back on all these little details when you're long retired and Casper is all grown with kids of his own.
Tim, I have a king size bed and that bed looks like a king. I don't know if things are different from the USA, but that bed sure looks like a king. Thanks for taking us along. Love you channel.
Yeah, in the UK our standard sizes are single, double and king. So the supersize beds you get in hotels are often called "queen size" as it's a name not already used by the standard sizes.
Ohhh Tim, business must be good 🙌... one of our favourite channels. and we are getting spoilt 2 vlogs in a few days. Love the dedication 👏 hope this is the start of things to come.
Naww, how friggen cute is Caspar, with his adorable winter hat, sitting in the car seat. CUTE 🥰♥️ The little treasure matched the decor with his yellow parka. 🌼💛💫
My kids called broccoli "little trees" when they were of a similar age. Such a sweet memory that we all can appreciate.Thank you Tim, Gabby and Casper.
😅😅 Humans have been eating animals and their 'secretions' since the existence of man itself. Why? Because we are OMNIVORES! We, as a species, are designed to eat animals and plants. I believe the carnivore in us started way back with the caveman, and it's been non-stop since then - thousands and thousands of years!. I don't mind that you wish to eat plants for the rest of your life, just as I and billions of others are going to continue eating and enjoying the bountiful variety of meat and seafood this world has to offer, every day! You do not have to like our decision, but you really should acknowledge that we are never going to stop because you think it's wrong. Have a blessed 🙌 day 🙏🏻
I think it's lovely for a hotel to be so accommodating to guests with children. A lot of these hotels can feel intimidating, almost making you feel like it's an inconvenience to the high end experience. This hotel did everything right. 😊
That’s because most people who pay such high prices don’t want annoying children running around causing stress and noise You don’t have to be a genius to know that
The little touches for Casper was nice of them and the chocolate's you got in your room you expect that with the price loved Gabby s dress looked stunning great video as always tim
Not that Gabby doesn’t always look great… but I really must say she looks absolutely stunning in that dress she wore for dinner. Let’s not forget Casper too, he’s getting so big and what a handsome little man! Just look at that hair! Tim, you are very lucky indeed.
What a beautiful, magical place! So lovely that Gaby and Casper could tag along, really wonderful to get a woman's perspective on a place...she chose the bathroom as her favorite spot, as would I. If you're not confortable in your most private area, you won't be comfortable at all. Worth the price? Yes! Because of the care they took to make all of you happy and comfortable...unmatched anywhere I would say. Great video!
Great video. Always fun to have Gaby and Casper along. Room price is insane but the room was very stylish, well equipped and the service and friendliness of the staff, truly outstanding. The attention for Casper was a great touch. The food looked delicious. Peninsula was far more impressive than Brown's. Gaby's face when you said "It really is a goldfish"...LOL.
thank you once more for a wonderful review, again as well as the marvels that The Hotel revealed on an ongoing basis, this review also illustrated what a lovely family you are! I travelled widely when I was working and stayed in some amazing hotels, but I love the way that your wonderment of these fantastic places is so genuine. Casper is a delight to behold, I’m sure he has his moments but at least as portrayed on film he is a lovely little boy. Keep the reviews coming, we recently stayed in The Titanic Hotel in Belfast where we had a suite. I recommend this hotel to you not only for the level of service but for the history that the building represents. Thank you for everything, Peter.
When in got married in 2000 the man who we rented the limo’s from knew my older brother from high school so he gave just a royals Royce for the myself , my husband , the best man and the maid of honor for the price of one of the limos , that’s was nice of him ! Thanks to Ed
Absolute sheer luxury with no expense spared. I guessed a somewhat higher price and taking everything into consideration you do get what you pay for. Incidentally, this is one luxury London hotel at which I have not had lunch! I must find someone to sponsor me to stay there!
Rich people know how to throw money around when they don’t need these items. The rich are wasteful and expect everyone to serve them and butter them up. They need to go camping outside in winter as rich people are spoiled.
The Peninsula is my favorite hotel you’ve shown! I love how honest and unbiased your are. You have a lovely family, and your channel is fantastic, thanks for sharing⭐️
True, I always think that, BUT, they didn't have to provide these things. How many places are very expensive and you get nothing but a lovely room, robe and toiletries!
All i can say is, WOW! This is a very impressive hotel. I've been watching your videos for a while, and I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience with me. Your family are lovely, and it's great that you can take them with you on some of your adventures. The price took my breath away, but it was worth it. Thank you.
This is by far the best hotel you have been too to date 😊love the personal touches , Casper is soooo cute and deserves the 5 star service , expensive but in my opinion worth it ❤
What a pleasant welcoming you had ! Enjoy all your postings, but this one felt like an extra special appreciation gift to the three of you ! So very well deserved ! So happy for you !
Goldfish Gate lol. That was funny, poor Gabby! Casper got the VIP treatment as well which is lovely. He might be a bit young to know what is really happening regarding luxury surroundings but how amazing that he will be able to look back on these videos when he is older. I thought the price was worth it. All the extras and also that it was luxurious but not pretentious, the staff seemed so warm and friendly. I love all of your videos, but these where you do the luxury hotels with the family are my fave.
What is so good about this channel is Tim’s down to earth reportage. I’ve stayed in a spectrum of hotels and can understand luxury (Tim’s observations are quite funny in this regard) and also a room with a bed, shower, desk and WiFi!
Hi Tim, what an amazing hotel offering a truly amazing experience, the hospitality was above and beyond. Many hotels are so ordinary, however the Peninsula is now on my short list when I next get to visit London. Great video, loved the perspective from Gabby too, thanks.
Loved it !! And it was extra special because family were with you, hate seeing you on your own sometimes in places I know deep down you would love to be sharing . You both deserve it 🤗
It was great to see you bring your family along. I really enjoyed seeing your wife and son. Hopefully they can come with you more often! What an exquisite property.
This hotel looked absolutely fabulous and the attention to detail and themes were stunning. Loved the plane on the ceiling of that restaurant (which was closed).
What a beautiful hotel and the food at the restaurant looked amazing. Fantastic video. Will have to stay the night at The Peninsula when I travel to London. 🎉
2 of my very close family member worked for The Peninsula Hong Kong for over 35 years and were Head of housekeeping and Head of F&B before they both retired (they met and got married whilst working there). They later moved to the UK and were asked to help setting up the London hotel as the hotel was struggling to get the right staff and training. They also said in the first half year / 1 year the hotel was a mess and they were very disappointed with the Peninsula badge and reputation being dragged down. I have just shown them the video and they are glad the service and quality seems to have improved (although they are still adamant that it’s not as good as the Hong Kong one 😂)!
My my! The technology in toilets have certainly changed from the toilets I remember as a boy in the 50's. Seems like the Peninsula want you to never forget your stay there.
Hello Tim and Gaby,what a awesome video,the room was amazing for what you got was definitely worth the money,the food,what they did for Casper was a nice thing to do.
Wow, what a lovely hotel. Gorgeous! Loved the attention to detail, the wonderful gifts (you paid for) and how Casper was WELL thought of and included. Ohhhh, how I'd love to stay there!! That goldfish was disturbing!! :-) Nice filming, as always!!
Expensively Gorgeous.! Glad you go t the chance to stay here. I'm thinking it's a nice anniversary surprise for someone's wife. A special occasion. Love it.
This has to be my favorite place you have featured so far, I stayed in the Peninsula in the Philippines some years back and it was nothing as grand as what you have shown.
I love them! They are tart, but delicious. You pop the whole thing in your mouth - no need to peel. I eat them all the time. Just a little burst of goodness. They really ‘brighten’ up a smoothie. So good!
Peninsular Hotels are famous for their green Rolls- royces. The colour is called Brewster Green, and they were featured in The Man With The Golden Gun.
_I love when Tim brings his beautiful lady, Gabby. She’s very good at describing the atmosphere the way he does. I see he brought baby boy as well. Too cute! I hope he enjoys his teddy. I personally collect them. Tim is the nicer, relaxed version of Gordon Ramsay for hotels. Cheers, mate!_ 🥂
I hope you all enjoyed your special adventure at The Peninsula Hotel in London ! The room is spectacular and I loveCaspers bear 🐻! Another great review Tim and Gabby and Casper ❤️❤️❤️
I am a Cantonese Chinese, watching during the 1st day of Chinese New Year on 27/1/2025. That is a surprised that hotel really take the Chinese New Year theme, despite Tim and Gabby obviously not Chinese. The Chinese clothed terry bear, the chocolate coin was a surprised touch! The Actual Mandarin is actually a fruit looks like a tiny orange, but normally taste very sour. The Cantonese menu is another surprise, those Cantonese food were really the top notch! You mentioned Mandarin "桔" signifies good fortune "吉", which sounds the same in Cantonese, sounds like "gut". Finally, is this worth the money? 200%!
2nd comment,I think this has been your best ever posh London gaff,you two looked absolutely stunning together❤❤,that food looked amazing,Gaby's face with the goldfish...priceless😮, naughty Tim😂 ( I was thinking that fruit in your room looked like Lychee)?
Wow! What an incredible hotel with such a luxurious and amazing welcome! Those chocolates looked absolutely delicious, too 😍 A fab video, as always! 👏🏻
I love it when you bring little Casper and your wife along. I have 5 kiddos, so it is a lot of fun. I do enjoy your videos so much and have been binge watching for days.. lol.. on a side note..the little orange is called a kumquat you eat the skin, the skin is actually sweet and balances the tart. Much love from across the pond. ❤
Casper in his first Rolls Royce; cutest passenger ever. When I was little there was a Rolls Royce dealership near our home. My brother and I would walk up and they let us play in the cars. This was in the late 60s when they had those great, huge beasts.
Love this; been watching on/off since you started Tim. Great to see you and family doing so well. This is the ONLY luxury hotel that i think has been worth it. Enjoy, and keep up the fantastic (work)😊
So last week I was not impressed with the hotel you visited for the price. This week consider me impressed. Even though it’s super expensive, it was lovely. I had initially priced this at 5,000 so I wasn’t surprised. All in all if i wanted to spend a lot for a top notch hotel experience this ticked all my boxes. Loved the entire journey from pickup to checkout. Beautifully appointed hotel. The colors were warm and inviting. The furnishing elegant but comfortable looking. Amenities top notch. Modern tech that is useful and unobtrusive. Food looked delicious and well presented. Service seemed amazing. Casper was treated like a proper little gentleman. People will remember that attention to detail. Glad you, Gaby and Casper had a great time. Lovely way to start the New Year together. 🎉
“You get what you pay for”. Usually. Nice. Everything. It was very special on how they were so attentive to Casper. His needs. Amazing. Peninsula hotels are great. I lived in Hong Kong and the “Pen” there is amazing. Has all the old architectural charm. Their lobby lounge is beautiful. In HK. I liked this one too. Very nice. I also stayed at the “Pen” in Manila and NYC. Also very nice. As we saw in this video the service is so exact. Attentive. Great video.
Wow, this hotel is fantastic! Gabby looked gorgeous in her black sparkly dress too - my favorite episodes are when you have Gabby and Caspar join in 🙂 omg, Caspar is getting so big too! Thanks as always for the great review!
Definitely a luxurious grand hotel. Thank you for the thorough tour of the room. Loved the comment "We're not going to have room for dinner" and the next shot was "Gaby is getting ready for dinner". Then you had a 6 course meal. 😂 Anyhow you both looked quite fetching. Final thought is you look quite dashing wearing white. It really suits you. Best to you and your family in 2025. 🎉
I am truly enjoying your videos. You have such a sweet family, and I appreciate how you present these places.Your son does very well. I am a senior, and will never be able to do this, so it is nice to see what you are seeing.
I love your channel Tim, your hard work over the years has definitely paid off and is well deserved. But don't forget about us common folk who supported your channel back when you were creating travel blogs on Jet2 package holidays for families. I still watch because I find you entertaining but I can't relate to the channel anymore, I could only dream of staying somewhere like this. I wish you even more success for the future 💙.
@katiegaffney8939 I watch on my television (a different account). I have watched every video he has made on this channel. Been following since 12k subs, I love the channel, love tim and the family but I miss the videos about holidays within my reach, that's all.
Really liked this hotel, as the attention to every little detail was impeccable. I can't believe I'd ever have said £3000 upwards a night was good value, but it didn't seem to bad given everything was included?

@@WalkWithMeTim Hi Tim Can we use the offer for The Dorchester London
Luxury that's not ostentatious is the best luxury. This hotel's luxury is calm and welcoming. Lovely.
The interior of the hotel room is hideous lol
I wouldn’t say hideous but I did think the suite decor was bland in the lounge area
Finally, a luxury hotel that actually treats you like a luxury ❤️.
AND they actually acted enthused and happy to be gushing over Gabby, Tim and Casper! That, in my opinion, is the important part..Sure, they can 'pamper' you with luxury and all that, but if they don't have a GENUINE smile and pleasant attitude about doing it, it kind of falls flat..
Agreed! One of the best yet
I know! Really nice hotel!
All luxury hotels treat you like luxury. What on earth are you on about?
This must be one of the best hotels you have reviewed. Attention to detail and all the extras , pure luxury. Love that lift 🎈
its one of the most expensive lol
Could the car and the lift have something to do with “Around the World in Eighty Days” ?

"You can rinse your bum from several different directions.." is one of the funniest lines I have ever heard on a youtube video presentation 🤣😜🧐🤔

What I like from the start in this video is seeing Gaby and Casper there getting spoiled with you. What a welcome ❤

The little touches for Casper was nice of them and the chocolate's you got in your room you expect that with the price loved Gabby s dress looked stunning great video as always tim
That hotel oozes class and elegance. Love it! Also, 21:26 someone walked across the room behind you and it didn't look like Gaby or Casper👀
Not that Gabby doesn’t always look great… but I really must say she looks absolutely stunning in that dress she wore for dinner.
Let’s not forget Casper too, he’s getting so big and what a handsome little man! Just look at that hair!
Tim, you are very lucky indeed.
Casper's going to become a handsome young man you can see it in his features! Thought i cant be the only one who sees that. 😊
What a beautiful, magical place! So lovely that Gaby and Casper could tag along, really wonderful to get a woman's perspective on a place...she chose the bathroom as her favorite spot, as would I. If you're not confortable in your most private area, you won't be comfortable at all. Worth the price? Yes! Because of the care they took to make all of you happy and comfortable...unmatched anywhere I would say. Great video!
Great video. Always fun to have Gaby and Casper along. Room price is insane but the room was very stylish, well equipped and the service and friendliness of the staff, truly outstanding. The attention for Casper was a great touch. The food looked delicious. Peninsula was far more impressive than Brown's. Gaby's face when you said "It really is a goldfish"...LOL.
thank you once more for a wonderful review, again as well as the marvels that The Hotel revealed on an ongoing basis, this review also illustrated what a lovely family you are!
I travelled widely when I was working and stayed in some amazing hotels, but I love the way that your wonderment of these fantastic places is so genuine. Casper is a delight to behold, I’m sure he has his moments but at least as portrayed on film he is a lovely little boy.
Keep the reviews coming, we recently stayed in The Titanic Hotel in Belfast where we had a suite. I recommend this hotel to you not only for the level of service but for the history that the building represents. Thank you for everything, Peter.
When in got married in 2000 the man who we rented the limo’s from knew my older brother from high school so he gave just a royals Royce for the myself , my husband , the best man and the maid of honor for the price of one of the limos , that’s was nice of him ! Thanks to Ed
What an amazing experience, looks incredible. Love seeing customer service at it's best. Fabulous dress Gabby. 🎉
Absolute sheer luxury with no expense spared. I guessed a somewhat higher price and taking everything into consideration you do get what you pay for. Incidentally, this is one luxury London hotel at which I have not had lunch! I must find someone to sponsor me to stay there!
Ratherrrr! 😂
I don’t think that’s a bad price for what you got Tim.
Rich people know how to throw money around when they don’t need these items. The rich are wasteful and expect everyone to serve them and butter them up. They need to go camping outside in winter as rich people are spoiled.
Such a precious family. Thank you...Gabby,Tim & Casper! ✨️
The Peninsula is my favorite hotel you’ve shown! I love how honest and unbiased your are. You have a lovely family, and your channel is fantastic, thanks for sharing⭐️
Nothing is ever complimentary, they include it in the overall cost
Facts! In this case, well worth it imo!! ❤
True, I always think that, BUT, they didn't have to provide these things. How many places are very expensive and you get nothing but a lovely room, robe and toiletries!
Stunning hotel thank you for sharing Tim, Gabby and Casper 🙏
All i can say is, WOW! This is a very impressive hotel. I've been watching your videos for a while, and I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience with me. Your family are lovely, and it's great that you can take them with you on some of your adventures. The price took my breath away, but it was worth it. Thank you.
Despite the price, I think this is the best hotel that you have reviewed! Brilliant video as as always matey!
This is by far the best hotel you have been too to date 😊love the personal touches , Casper is soooo cute and deserves the 5 star service , expensive but in my opinion worth it ❤
you guys were having a thank you so much war haha such a grand welcoming 3:08
Speechless.Outstanding that hotel is. All that tech in your Room that's Crazy😊😊.xx
What a pleasant welcoming you had ! Enjoy all your postings, but this one felt like an extra special appreciation gift to the three of you ! So very well deserved ! So happy for you !
Your face Tim and Gabby's laugh at 14 mins talking about having that treat on the toilet in the middle of the night🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
I wish you good luck in the Year of the Snake, and everything will be great!
Happy Lunar New Year! 👍🥰🙌🎉
Can only dream of affording to stay at a hotel like this! For now I will live vicariously through Tim's videos! Looks absolutely beautiful.
Thinking about the amazing memories that Casper will have, growing up ‘Walking with Tim/Dad’ and his mum, Gaby - just puts a smile on my heart.
Goldfish Gate lol. That was funny, poor Gabby! Casper got the VIP treatment as well which is lovely. He might be a bit young to know what is really happening regarding luxury surroundings but how amazing that he will be able to look back on these videos when he is older. I thought the price was worth it. All the extras and also that it was luxurious but not pretentious, the staff seemed so warm and friendly. I love all of your videos, but these where you do the luxury hotels with the family are my fave.
Tĥank you , means alot
@@WalkWithMeTim 😊
What is so good about this channel is Tim’s down to earth reportage. I’ve stayed in a spectrum of hotels and can understand luxury (Tim’s observations are quite funny in this regard) and also a room with a bed, shower, desk and WiFi!
Casper has stayed at most of Londons top hotels,Lucky little man , I am very jealous it looked lovely
Hi Tim, what an amazing hotel offering a truly amazing experience, the hospitality was above and beyond. Many hotels are so ordinary, however the Peninsula is now on my short list when I next get to visit London. Great video, loved the perspective from Gabby too, thanks.
Take a shot every time he says “Branding is on point” 😂
You'll die! 😂
Take a shot every time someone comments this 😅
Loved it !! And it was extra special because family were with you, hate seeing you on your own sometimes in places I know deep down you would love to be sharing . You both deserve it 🤗
It was great to see you bring your family along. I really enjoyed seeing your wife and son. Hopefully they can come with you more often! What an exquisite property.
This hotel looked absolutely fabulous and the attention to detail and themes were stunning. Loved the plane on the ceiling of that restaurant (which was closed).
What a beautiful hotel and the food at the restaurant looked amazing. Fantastic video. Will have to stay the night at The Peninsula when I travel to London. 🎉
Now that is what I call fabulous!
I love when I see Casper and Gabby in your videos! Makes your videos that much enjoyable and down to earth! cheers from Romania!
2 of my very close family member worked for The Peninsula Hong Kong for over 35 years and were Head of housekeeping and Head of F&B before they both retired (they met and got married whilst working there). They later moved to the UK and were asked to help setting up the London hotel as the hotel was struggling to get the right staff and training. They also said in the first half year / 1 year the hotel was a mess and they were very disappointed with the Peninsula badge and reputation being dragged down. I have just shown them the video and they are glad the service and quality seems to have improved (although they are still adamant that it’s not as good as the Hong Kong one 😂)!
Kum quats, the tart tangerine.
Time for Tim to travel to Hong Kong
Love this episode. I’ve enjoyed all your shows, living vicariously through your travels. Wow! Thank you!
My my! The technology in toilets have certainly changed from the toilets I remember as a boy in the 50's. Seems like the Peninsula want you to never forget your stay there.
Wow!!!! Luxury at its peak. The way they treated Casper was amazing. Fantastic vlog. Thank-you xx
Hello Tim and Gaby,what a awesome video,the room was amazing for what you got was definitely worth the money,the food,what they did for Casper was a nice thing to do.
Wow, what a lovely hotel.
Gorgeous! Loved the attention to detail, the wonderful gifts (you paid for) and how Casper was WELL thought of and included. Ohhhh, how I'd love to stay there!!
That goldfish was disturbing!! :-)
Nice filming, as always!!
Expensively Gorgeous.! Glad you go t the chance to stay here. I'm thinking it's a nice anniversary surprise for someone's wife. A special occasion. Love it.
I work next door to this and have been watching it being built for maybe the last 5 odd years. Now it's good to see what the inside looks like.
This has to be my favorite place you have featured so far, I stayed in the Peninsula in the Philippines some years back and it was nothing as grand as what you have shown.
Wow, what an experience. Thanks for sharing Tim and Gabby. Such a wonderful time for Casper too
That dinner looks AMAZING.
You should bring your family more often, is nice to see their excited faces when seeing the nice hotels.
Those little "oranges" are called kumquats. They're bitter, as I recall. I love them.
You actually eat the whole kumquat. The skin is sweet and the insides are tart. I love them, too!
Came here to pipe in that the skin is meant to be eaten as it holds all the sweet. It balances out the tart inside perfectly.
I love them! They are tart, but delicious. You pop the whole thing in your mouth - no need to peel. I eat them all the time. Just a little burst of goodness. They really ‘brighten’ up a smoothie. So good!
They make lovely jam/marmalade!
@@lynnsenger9950I knew those were kumquats, I did NOT know the skin was edible
Thank you
Caspar just keeps getting cuter, Gabby looked absolutely stunning and the whole experience was amazing
Peninsular Hotels are famous for their green Rolls- royces. The colour is called Brewster Green, and they were featured in The Man With The Golden Gun.
_I love when Tim brings his beautiful lady, Gabby. She’s very good at describing the atmosphere the way he does. I see he brought baby boy as well. Too cute! I hope he enjoys his teddy. I personally collect them. Tim is the nicer, relaxed version of Gordon Ramsay for hotels. Cheers, mate!_ 🥂
Casper can tell his friends at nursery he's been cruising around in a Rolls.. 🤣🤣 Bless him, so very cute!
I hope you all enjoyed your special adventure at The Peninsula Hotel in London ! The room is spectacular and I loveCaspers bear 🐻! Another great review Tim and Gabby and Casper ❤️❤️❤️
Every time I hear Tim say, 'flush the chain' it cracks me up and reminds me of my childhood when toilets had chains 😅
Ah yes, the humble chain loos……no maintenance required.
Unlike today 😀
Hi Tim,
The bed is huge, like a king bed. The room is fantastic. It would take me several days to really enjoy everything the hotel offers.
Thank you for this video. Without doubt The Peninsula London is the Best New Hotel in London . Warm Greetings 😊
I am a Cantonese Chinese, watching during the 1st day of Chinese New Year on 27/1/2025. That is a surprised that hotel really take the Chinese New Year theme, despite Tim and Gabby obviously not Chinese.
The Chinese clothed terry bear, the chocolate coin was a surprised touch! The Actual Mandarin is actually a fruit looks like a tiny orange, but normally taste very sour.
The Cantonese menu is another surprise, those Cantonese food were really the top notch! You mentioned Mandarin "桔" signifies good fortune "吉", which sounds the same in Cantonese, sounds like "gut".
Finally, is this worth the money? 200%!
2nd comment,I think this has been your best ever posh London gaff,you two looked absolutely stunning together❤❤,that food looked amazing,Gaby's face with the goldfish...priceless😮, naughty Tim😂 ( I was thinking that fruit in your room looked like Lychee)?
Wow! What an incredible hotel with such a luxurious and amazing welcome! Those chocolates looked absolutely delicious, too 😍 A fab video, as always! 👏🏻
I love it when you bring little Casper and your wife along. I have 5 kiddos, so it is a lot of fun. I do enjoy your videos so much and have been binge watching for days.. lol.. on a side note..the little orange is called a kumquat you eat the skin, the skin is actually sweet and balances the tart. Much love from across the pond. ❤
The most important from Hotel , 1/ The Bed , 2/ View 3/ scenes 4/ Room big good layout. 5/ Linen’s bed sheets.
6/ Bathrooms big ,good shower.
Casper in his first Rolls Royce; cutest passenger ever. When I was little there was a Rolls Royce dealership near our home. My brother and I would walk up and they let us play in the cars. This was in the late 60s when they had those great, huge beasts.
Love this; been watching on/off since you started Tim.
Great to see you and family doing so well.
This is the ONLY luxury hotel that i think has been worth it.
Enjoy, and keep up the fantastic (work)😊
So last week I was not impressed with the hotel you visited for the price. This week consider me impressed. Even though it’s super expensive, it was lovely. I had initially priced this at 5,000 so I wasn’t surprised.
All in all if i wanted to spend a lot for a top notch hotel experience this ticked all my boxes. Loved the entire journey from pickup to checkout.
Beautifully appointed hotel. The colors were warm and inviting. The furnishing elegant but comfortable looking. Amenities top notch. Modern tech that is useful and unobtrusive. Food looked delicious and well presented. Service seemed amazing.
Casper was treated like a proper little gentleman. People will remember that attention to detail. Glad you, Gaby and Casper had a great time. Lovely way to start the New Year together. 🎉
me too 5,000
“You get what you pay for”. Usually.
Nice. Everything. It was very special on how they were so attentive to Casper. His needs. Amazing. Peninsula hotels are great. I lived in Hong Kong and the “Pen” there is amazing. Has all the old architectural charm. Their lobby lounge is beautiful. In HK. I liked this one too. Very nice. I also stayed at the “Pen” in Manila and NYC. Also very nice. As we saw in this video the service is so exact. Attentive. Great video.
Wow, this hotel is fantastic! Gabby looked gorgeous in her black sparkly dress too - my favorite episodes are when you have Gabby and Caspar join in 🙂 omg, Caspar is getting so big too! Thanks as always for the great review!
Definitely a luxurious grand hotel. Thank you for the thorough tour of the room. Loved the comment "We're not going to have room for dinner" and the next shot was "Gaby is getting ready for dinner". Then you had a 6 course meal. 😂 Anyhow you both looked quite fetching. Final thought is you look quite dashing wearing white. It really suits you. Best to you and your family in 2025. 🎉
I am truly enjoying your videos. You have such a sweet family, and I appreciate how you present these places.Your son does very well. I am a senior, and will never be able to do this, so it is nice to see what you are seeing.
The little oranges are called kumquats you are supposed to eat them whole 😂 for a bit of a sweet/sour combo 👍
I love your channel Tim, your hard work over the years has definitely paid off and is well deserved. But don't forget about us common folk who supported your channel back when you were creating travel blogs on Jet2 package holidays for families. I still watch because I find you entertaining but I can't relate to the channel anymore, I could only dream of staying somewhere like this. I wish you even more success for the future 💙.
You supported the channel all those years but this is your only comment😏
@katiegaffney8939 I watch on my television (a different account). I have watched every video he has made on this channel. Been following since 12k subs, I love the channel, love tim and the family but I miss the videos about holidays within my reach, that's all.
Really liked this hotel, as the attention to every little detail was impeccable. I can't believe I'd ever have said £3000 upwards a night was good value, but it didn't seem to bad given everything was included?
