Robin HwangJanuary 9, 2018Designed by Studioilse, the London-based design studio led by Ilse Crawford, this is the nicest of all the CX lounges with a noodle bar, tea lounge, and a relaxation zone.Upvote22Downvote
Colm LinehanJune 28, 2016The best of Cathay's home lounges. The dining room has a wide menu, it's not nearly as crowded as the wing and the design is amazing - feels like home.Upvote34DownvoteUpvoted 2 weeks ago
JauntedJanuary 17, 2011Congratulations--you made it alll the way out here. This Cathay lounge has excellent showers, plus the largest eating and seating areas. You just feel quite far away from everything...Upvote40Downvote
Spacious, comfy lots to eat various noodle soup and asian hot buffet at the noodle bar, western choices at the food mall, all you can drink at the bar, tea and sweet at the tea house, great lounge

Tasty Dan Dan noodles, very attentive staff in a serene atmosphere and a short, but good foot massage - come a bit earlier to relax here before your flight.

jennifer hanApril 2, 2018the pier (business class) is my favorite of all the cathay lounges at hkg. the space is huge and relaxing, and the food is delicious (don’t miss the noodle bar at the back). eat and nap like a piglet.Upvote1Downvote
JJanuary 15, 2018This lounge alone might be good enough reason to fly business from HKG airport. Come here a few hours early to sample the HUGE variety of food and drinks.Upvote3Downvote
The best CX lounge at HKG, with a very nice ambiance and decor, great food & dinning experience, plus showers, day suites and even massages 💆🏻♂️ to make your stay as memorable & relaxing one!

tigz de palmaDecember 5, 2016best business airport lounge ever. the design is gorgeous modern chinese. the noodle bar is awesome. but it's the tea room that takes the cake. would be considered amazing even if not in an airport.

JayFebruary 5, 2019This is by far the best lounge at HK Airport. The Pier is far better than the Bridge lounge and has these lounge chairs/beds to really lay down and sleep for a few hours.
Upvote1Downvote- great lounge! A homey feeling, good facilities like shower, day suite, massage, dedicate dining area with great food and a bar with snack and dessert room, nearly forget there is food in flight!

SteveDecember 8, 2016maybe the best lounge at HKIA... noodle bar, lockers, day spa, massage, fresh tea... missed a flight and had an 8hr layover. this lounge was so comfortable, it felt like home.

Matt Ta-MinDecember 6, 2015This lounge is the one to use if you are @ gates 31 & above. This one is a bit better than The Wing @ gate 2. Better buffet, no noodle bar but more choice of Asian & Western food. Bar has a worse viewUpvote5Downvote
Josh AJuly 18, 2019One of the top lounges I’ve seen. Full bar, full noodle bar, separate food area, full tea room, sleeping area, meditation area, plus normal seating and showers and such. Nicely done Cathay.UpvoteDownvote
The new first class lounge is heaven :) just beware if you come specifically to this side of the airport for it, you have to walk back to the gates (the train only runs in single direction)Upvote2Downvote
My favorite lounge at HKG since 2015. I think it's got to be one of the best lounges in Asia, maybe even the world.Upvote1Downvote
It’s worth walking out here for the best of the CX loungesUpvote3Downvote
Jean RatanaphaithunMay 25, 2014this hidden gem is worth the long walk. huge place with plenty of seats and calming light. noodle bar is also a big plus (order the duck ramen or wonton noodle)Upvote1Downvote
One of the best lounges and certainly the best in HKG, don't forget to have a fotmassage and/or a nap in the cabanas
UpvoteDownvote- Renaud #December 19, 2015If you are hungry, visit "The Dining Room", see the menu. The salmon is crispy on the outside, and very tender on the inside 👍🏻
Upvote1Downvote - Renaud #March 23, 2016The best lounge in HKIA. Yummy food by Peninsula. But why is the wait for foot massage so long? Has anyone ever managed to get a massage here?

Alex GronbachJune 18, 2016Such an incredible lounge! Get here early to get a complimentary foot massage (first come first served)!Upvote1Downvote
Ernest LauAugust 27, 2017Cathay Staffs should suggest to their firm that "the Pier" first class & the Pier business lounge should be different name... there will be many passenger mistakenly went to "the Pier first class",UpvoteDownvote
SV Ah MaMay 18, 2018The better CX lounge at HKG, nicely partitioned in sections, like that food is served out, no grabbing.Upvote1Downvote
Adam PFebruary 15, 2017First class lounge is so stunning. Business class less so, but incredible food choices, a lot of space. Too bad they're using Illy coffeeUpvoteDownvote

Unfortunately the 1st class lounge is being refurbished and I was told not open till 2015!! But in the area reserved for 1st class the staff are extra helpful! 😊Upvote2Downvote- Renaud #February 5, 2016Delicious & healthy appetizer: feta cheese, root vegetables, rocket, rosemary honey vinaigrette.

Andrew WeeSeptember 30, 2015Best lounge ever with a fantastic decor and large dining area. Weary travellers should check out Retreat for a complimentary 20 minute massageUpvoteDownvote
Stan TranApril 6, 2017This oasis in HKG is second only to the Lufthansa First Class Terminal in FRA. Worth the walk to Gate 65!UpvoteDownvote
KOctober 19, 2013On the other side of the lounge from the noodle bar: get your ice cream and Hong Kong style milk tea!

- The best Cathay Lounge at Hong Kong Airport, and they all are pretty damn good.UpvoteDownvote
TerryJune 16, 2012The Shanghainese braised pork rice noodle is light and yummy! Stuff yourself before boarding for Taiwan as the flight only offers snacksUpvote3Downvote
More spacious, more options, generally a huge improvement after its recent revampUpvote1Downvote
Still the best lounge on planet earth. But please get rid of the flight announcements, Cathay. They are a killer :-(
