I think you should definitely try the Peninsula. I don't think nonresident tourists in the lobby really detract from the experience as other parts of the hotel will not be crowded. If you choose to have tea in the lobby they will take very good care of you as a staying guest. I very rarely have afternoon tea at hotels and tend to avoid lobbies anyway.
