I was super excited to join in on this special occasion celebratory dinner party, which started with a beautiful formal invite in the mail. It’s not too often you receive that special touch nowadays. 🥰

The evening involved special speeches by Benjamin Vuchot, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of The Hong Kong and Shanghai hotels, and Maria Razumich-Zec, Regional Executive Vice President, USA and Managing Director. 

I was blown away by the variety of food, desserts, cocktail stations, and the entertainment on multi levels. I arrived to a bustling blocked off street at 6pm and left at midnight. Now that was a good party. 😁Congrats on 25 Years Peninsula Chicago! 🎉 @peninsulahotels
