Peninsula Hotels around the world will scrap the idea of check-in and check-out times as of January, the brand announced today. Starting in the new year, that means guests can show up whenever they like, with no additional charges or fees. The same goes for departure, reps for Peninsula say.
“When [guests] book a room, suite, or villa, it is theirs for one night — even if they check in at 6 a.m. on their arrival date and check out at 10 p.m. on their departure date,” according to a statement from the hotel brand.

“Especially now that travel has become somewhat more challenging, we understand that extra time is one of the most meaningful gifts we can provide to our guests,” says Gareth Roberts, an executive with The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited, the company that owns and operates the Peninsula Hotels, in a statement. “By letting guests arrive earlier and stay longer, we hope to provide them with greater peace of mind and an even more personalized experience.”
