Cathay Pacific showcases new Business Class lounge at Hong Kong International

Cathay Pacific has elevated the premium travel experience with its exquisitely redesigned 'The Pier' Business Class Lounge at Hong Kong International Airport, setting a new benchmark for discreet sophistication and guest comfort.

Nestled beside Gate 65 in the bustling North West concourse of HKIA, The Pier Business Class Lounge now spans an impressive 3,306 square meters—approximately 1,000 square meters larger than its predecessor. This expansion cements its status as the airline’s largest lounge worldwide, with ample space to accommodate up to 550 travelers in refined style.

Conceived by the acclaimed London-based Studioilse, under the guidance of Ilse Crawford, the lounge’s design philosophy centers on creating a tranquil retreat that appeals to all the senses while embodying the spirit of contemporary Hong Kong. The space blends wellness-focused elements with subtle local influences, offering a sanctuary for discerning business travelers.

Guests can indulge in an extensive array of culinary experiences, including The Food Hall, featuring gourmet self-serve counters and a specialty coffee bar; the celebrated Noodle Bar, serving Cathay Pacific’s signature noodle dishes alongside other Asian favorites; and the exclusive Tea House, a serene enclave dedicated to curated global teas and a peaceful ambiance.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping runway views, while Cathay Pacific’s iconic Solo Chairs—each outfitted with an integrated reading lamp and private side table—offer both privacy and comfort for working or unwinding. 

Travelers seeking relaxation will appreciate fourteen private shower suites and a dedicated relaxation zone, complete with plush loungers and ottomans for a restorative pause between flights.

The lounge showcases natural materials such as cherry wood and limestone, thoughtfully selected to enhance acoustics and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Lush greenery and curated artwork punctuate the interiors, reinforcing the sense of calm throughout the space.

The Pier Business Class Lounge welcomes First and Business Class ticket holders, Marco Polo Club Silver members and above, eligible oneworld Emerald and Sapphire members, and guests with lounge passes, along with their accompanying friends and family. The lounge operates daily from 5:30 a.m. until the departure of the final Cathay Pacific flight, ensuring premium comfort for travelers at any hour.
