In Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific will be debuting their latest iteration of The Pier in the coming months, which is a new first class lounge that will raise the bar for luxury in a city well accustomed to service on this level. This expansive refuge from the madness of the main terminal offers a variety of diversions and opportunities to recline and relax in the hours leading up to your flight.
Below, we’ll get into the details of what you can expect to find in the newly refurbished space that The Pier occupies in Hong Kong International Airport.
Plenty of plush seating options
With tons of floor space in Hong Kong International Airport dedicated to The Pier, there are plenty of places to have a well-earned sit throughout the lounge. Relaxing love-seats and couches sit behind strategically placed low walls, granting you the privacy that you are seeking after the hectic rush to get to the airport and behind security. Electrical outlets are available at almost every seat, making it easy to charge your gadgets, or catch up on work without worrying about depleting your battery.
The Pier will have a ‘home away from home’ design like that of Cathay Pacific Lounge in Haneda Airport
Exquisite food and drink
Those looking to fill their insides with well-prepared meals will be well-catered for in The Pier lounge. Those looking for authentic Asian noodles will find it at the appropriately named Noodle Bar, while those looking for refreshment (alcoholic or otherwise) will find excellent options at The Long Bar.
During breakfast hours, there is a robust buffet filled with fruit and delectable pastries and if you’re the type that loves to read while you graze, a reading rack will allow you peruse magazines and newspapers from around the world.
The Pier will also have a Noodle Bar like that of the one at The Wing, Hong Kong
Get fresh before/after your flight
Since you are the type that highly values looking and feeling your best, the availability of shower rooms is a feature that you specifically look for in the perfect airport lounge. The Pier meets this requirement spectacularly, as its smart modern design and spotlessly clean shower suites will make you feel comfortable shedding your clothes and getting clean in this private space.
The shower head is in a rainfall configuration, granting you a relaxing stream of water that will not only help you get clean, but will also release the tension in your body after a hard day of traveling.
Get some rest … or watch planes land and take off
Need to get some rest between connections? The new version of The Pier has napping nooks that are unique to this first class lounge, allowing you to pass the time between connections, be it a wait of a few hours or fifteen hours. These spaces overlook many of the runways that exist at Hong Kong International Airport, giving plane geeks the chance to watch jetliners land and take off at one of the busiest air hubs in the world.
