Salon de Ning is one of my favorite places to chill and to listen to some great jazz / music. Their band is very good compared with other hotel's lounges and the environment is perfect for music enjoyment. The Peninsula in a sense represent high quality and I guess that applies to everything from service, location, food and the band that they employ. The band used to have song requests when they first opened; but due to hotel's directive, this song request service is no longer available. Very unfortunate indeed. One thing I like to point out is that the music tends to be a bit loud, most likely due to the limited space of the venue. I guess it also depends on where you sit, right in front of the stage or in one of their theme rooms.Talking about its theme, the decor is very contemporary with a heavy touch of 1920's style. It is hard to explain but when you go in, the overall environment and the staff's uniform make you want to sing ! Maybe I exaggerated a bit, but the point is that this is a place to enjoy music by the band and not for social chit chat in my opinion.
I was a bit disappointed that they no longer offer the platter of snacks, only s smaller selection of various chips and Ning's chocolate. As long as they have the Ning's chocolates I am good !! (The Ning's Chocolate comes in either purple or brown color, a must try.) Ask them for the chocolate if they bring you just chips! Also, service was great of course and professional as well.

- Great Band, Great Music
- Great Decor and ambiance
- Great Service
- Music can be a bit loud
- Possible lack of seats during peak period like Friday nights and etc.
- Limited selection of default wines on the Ning's own menu, if you want more wine selection, make sure you ask for a full Peninsula wine list which can be rather taunting because of the HUGE selection.
