• "widely regarded as one of the region's legendary properties." (unsourced)
• "the finest hotel east of Suez." (unsourced)
• "From the moment the hotel opened...the Peninsula name has been synonymous with welcoming the rich, the famous, the titled and the titans of industry to a place of unsurpassed luxury and service." (unsourced)
• "shade of green known as "Peninsula green". (known by whom?)
