THE PENINSULA INVITES FESTIVE-SEASON TRAVELLERS TO EXPERIENCE "THE HOME OF CHRISTMAS" AROUND THE GLOBE

At all twelve of its worldwide hotels, the legendary hospitality brand will welcome guests with spectacular celebrations, sumptuous feasts, and chances to share holiday enchantment

HONG KONG, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- With the winter holidays fast approaching, The Peninsula is preparing a full slate of splendid festivities, concerts, culinary delights, and family pursuits to greet guests at its luxury properties around the world. As they do each year, the hotels will offer visitors unparalleled opportunities to take part in jubilant revelry and traditional holiday pleasures, collectively transforming themselves into "The Home of Christmas."

From dazzling tree-lighting ceremonies and festive music performances to seasonal confections, Afternoon Teas and enchanting family activities, each hotel will invite guests to celebrate the season while discovering the distinctive traditions of its home city.

Together, these experiences reflect The Peninsula's signature blend of gracious service, enduring tradition and festive magic. This spirit comes to life in The Peninsula's 2026 festive film, The Magic Waits for You, which follows a woman returning to The Peninsula for Christmas. As snow settles around the hotel, a drift of golden light rises through it, carrying her back to the wonder of childhood and into a story where past and present gently intertwine. The film reveals that her most enchanting memories do not simply appear: They are brought to life by white-gloved hands, skilled chefs, fleet-footed pages, and countless thoughtful gestures. It is this human touch that turns the grand hotel into a holiday home – where magic is made by hand, with care, generation after generation. The film can be viewed on The Peninsula website and YouTube.

Spirited Holiday Concerts

Live performances of joyful holiday music are a treasured part of the festive season at The Peninsula Hotels. At many properties, the annual Tree-Lighting Ceremony – in which the hotel's grandly decorated Christmas tree is brilliantly illuminated – is accompanied by an uplifting choral concert. Other musical offerings this year will include the 41^st annual iteration of The Peninsula Manila's magnificent Christmas Concert at The Pen, featuring the Manila Symphony Orchestra and some of the city's most acclaimed soloists; lively renditions of traditional holiday tunes from a celebrated orchestra each Saturday in December leading up to Christmas at The Peninsula Istanbul; and ethereal festive melodies from a talented live harpist at The Peninsula Beverly Hills.

Delectable Feasts and Treats

Across the Peninsula portfolio, hotel culinary teams will present an array of delectable holiday specialties, desserts, and libations at each of their respective restaurants (many of them Michelin-starred). This year's epicurean delights will include lavish Christmas Eve dinners, such as the magnificent seven-course culinary experience served against sweeping city views at The Peninsula Shanghai's Sir Elly's. Bountiful Christmas Day brunches, and traditional Festive Afternoon Teas will also be offered at each hotel's Lobby – with tiered towers of artfully crafted savouries and sweets, warming holiday beverages, and celebratory Champagne. A plethora of mouth-watering holiday sweets from the chef teams will additionally be on offer, including decadent chocolates, Peninsula Sweet Shoppe confections, and, at The Peninsula Paris, exquisite gourmet bûches de Noël from award-winning Executive Pastry Chef Anne Coruble. For her creation this year, "L'Épi de Blé," Chef Coruble partnered with Parisian jewellery maison Chaumet to craft an artfully delicious Yule log in the shape of an ear of wheat – an enduring symbol of harvest and bounty.

Enchanting Family Pursuits

For guests with children, Peninsula hotels around the world offer a delightful array of family-friendly activities that embody the magic of the holidays. Many of these are cherished traditions that guests choose to experience together year after year – such as exhilarating rooftop ice skating at The Peninsula Chicago's Sky Rink; visiting The Peninsula Tokyo's much-loved Toy Hospital, where a team of volunteer toy doctors brings children's worn or damaged toys back to life; or taking part in gingerbread- and cookie-decorating workshops at The Peninsula Beijing. At The Peninsula New York, families can take part in a Festive Brilliance Walking Tour of dazzling holiday window displays, Christmas trees, and holiday markets along Fifth Avenue; while at The Peninsula London, they can enjoy screenings of Christmas films at the hotel's private Cinema; and visits with Santa between 23 December and Christmas Day.

Fabulous Fêtes

Around the globe, Peninsula guests can celebrate the holidays at a variety of marvellous festive gatherings. These range from fun-loving Ugly Christmas Sweater parties and convivial firepit Glühwein toasts to extravagant New Year's Eve Galas – like those at The Peninsula Hong Kong, where fine dining, music, Champagne toasts, and an exuberant countdown to the arrival of 2027 will take place overlooking the elaborate Victoria Harbour fireworks display. At The Peninsula Bangkok, visitors can additionally take part in a captivating late-November Loy Krathong Festival celebration, with Thai classical dance performances, cultural pageants, and traditional floating of krathongs (candlelit woven-leaf boats) on the Chao Phraya River.

Special Stay Offers and Festive Gifts

Festive-season travellers at every Peninsula property can enjoy superlative elegance and comfort – as well as significant savings – by booking their holiday stays with Luxury in Advance. This brand-wide offer lets guests receive up to 25 percent off the Best Available Rates for rooms and suites at their preferred Peninsula destination when they book in advance. Additionally, they can enjoy the freedom, flexibility, and extra hours provided by Peninsula Time, a global benefit allowing check-in as early as 6am and check-out as late as 10pm.

For those seeking a thoughtful festive gift, The Peninsula x Anya Hindmarch Collection returns with limited-edition, destination-inspired tote bags and leather charms. Building on the collaboration first introduced in Hong Kong in 2025, the collection will be available at The Peninsula Hong Kong, The Peninsula Tokyo, The Peninsula Istanbul and The Peninsula London. Each tote comes in The Peninsula's signature green canvas with a city-inspired accent strap – from Hong Kong's Harbour Red to London's Royal Purple, while the charms include a witty "PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB" design inspired by a classic hotel doorhanger.

The Season of Giving

Since its founding, The Peninsula has extended support to underserved members of its home communities through outreach programmes and charitable donations, and it makes special efforts to give during the holidays. In keeping with this commitment, several Peninsula hotels will participate in Acts of Kindness this year, by inviting passerby to indulge in complimentary treats like mince pie, hot chocolate, and mulled wine. Other hotels will host their own charitable initiatives – for instance, all admission and skate rental costs at The Peninsula Chicago's Sky Rink are donated to two Chicago children's charities: Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, and Hephzibah Children's Association.

On a global scale, every Peninsula property also offers guests the chance to give during the holiday season. With each purchase of a Festive Afternoon Tea, a portion of proceeds will be donated to a local organisation that supports the welfare of children – for example, Make-A-Wish Foundation®, which helps grant the wishes of kids facing life-threatening illnesses.

• FFR's EAI Brain—OmniMind—and its model ranked No. 1 overall on RoboColiseum's global leaderboard as of November 6, where RoboColiseum tests embodied AI models in simulation. Proves how far the Company has come with its EAI Brain core in Phase One of its "Built in USA" program.
• FFR will hold its third-quarter 2026 earnings call on November 12 at 4 p.m. Pacific Time, this will be FFR's first earnings call since its listing. FFAI will hold its third-quarter 2026 earnings call on November 16 at 4 p.m. Pacific Time.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. (NASDAQ: FFR) ("FFR" or the "Company"), a California-based Physical AI robotics ecosystem company, today shared a weekly business update from YT Jia, Founder and Global CEO of FFR and FF.

"Welcome to our 80th weekly report. I spent last week working in New York, and it was a very productive week. This week, I'm back at our Silicon Beach headquarters, and the good news keeps coming.

Let me start with FFR's EAI Brain—OmniMind—and its model. As of November 6, the OmniMind model ranked No. 1 overall on RoboColiseum's global leaderboard. RoboColiseum tests embodied AI models in simulation. We scored 0.8698 out of 1, ahead of leading models like NVIDIA GR00T N1.7, GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5, and π0.5.

Until now, the market has recognized us mainly for our EAI Devices core and FF EAI Robot World 2.0, and for how quickly our robot sales and deployments have grown. What makes me especially happy is that our EAI Brain core has now delivered a strong result of its own. And we have an industry benchmark to back it up.

So how did FF OmniMind make it to No. 1? The published scores tell part of the story. OmniMind scored about 0.99 in instruction following, 0.92 in spatial reasoning, and 0.96 in robustness to disturbances. The biggest difference is in how we designed OmniMind. We use a layered architecture and programmatic execution. In a typical VLA approach, a single model generates actions directly. With FF OmniMind and its foundation model, we break the task down into steps. The model interprets the instructions. 3D perception locates the target. Then motion planning generates a path. As the robot carries out the task, we can check, analyze, and optimize each step separately.

This No. 1 ranking shows how far we've come with our EAI Brain core in Phase One of our "Built in USA" program, which we've now completed. It also validates the Physical AI expertise FF has built over the past 12 years. More importantly, it gives the industry a clearer picture of what FFR can do. It also gives our team momentum to move faster on our Four-Core Full-Stack AI strategy and grow the businesses across our four industry ecosystems. That momentum helps speed up the flywheel that connects robot deliveries at scale, data collection and training, and continuous improvement of the EAI Brain.

I want to thank our Brain and model teams at FF for all their hard work. This is just the beginning. We'll keep using feedback from these evaluations to improve the brain, our models, and our Skills. And as we deploy FF OmniMind on real robots in real-world settings, we'll keep strengthening its competitive edge and expanding its impact across the industry.

Now let me share how things are progressing across FFR's four industry ecosystems.

First, education. We've been receiving inquiries about partnerships and purchases from K–12 schools, education and training providers, colleges and universities, and research institutions. They're coming from states including New York, Texas, Massachusetts, and California. We'll have some major new developments to share with you soon.

Second, security and inspection. Across all four cores, our product lines and business in this sector have now moved into proof of concept, sales, and delivery.

On the B2B side, we've partnered with several leading integrators and distributors of security and inspection robotics solutions in North America and signed sales contracts with them. This milestone will help us commercialize and scale our security and inspection business much faster, setting us up for higher sales volumes across the sector.  Putting our robots to work in real settings will also help us improve our Brain, Devices, and Industry Productivity Solutions. It will give us more data for training and help our flywheel turn faster.

On the B2C side, we're working with Pinnacle in Southern California to identify suitable luxury homes and assess residents' security needs. Aegis Ultra W and other robots will be at the center of our home security solution. We're working to complete the proof of concept as soon as possible.

In our commercial and services ecosystem, RoboShare sold a Master humanoid robot in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world. That sale expands FFR's user base in the U.S. It also gives us a chance to explore new business models for using robots in the global entertainment industry and lays the groundwork for rolling out those models at scale.

In our industrial and logistics ecosystem, the team is moving ahead with R&D. We're working to start the proof-of-concept stage as soon as possible.

Finally, a quick update on FFR and FFAI's third-quarter reports and earnings calls.

FFR will hold its third-quarter 2026 earnings call on November 12 at 4 p.m. Pacific Time.  This will be FFR's first earnings call since its listing. I invite FFR stockholders to tune in.

FFAI will hold its third-quarter 2026 earnings call on November 16 at 4 p.m. Pacific Time. I also invite FFAI stockholders to join us for that call.

Thank you, everyone. See you next week!"
