Comfortable Pre-Flight Experience at The Centurion Lounge, Hong Kong International Airport

The Centurion Lounge opened in October 2017 in Hong Kong, marking the first Centurion Lounge in Asia. Located on the 7th floor of Terminal 1 near Gate 60, this 8,000-square-foot modern oasis is exclusively designed for Amex Platinum Card and Centurion Card holders, blending local Hong Kong culture with international luxury. From Victoria Harbour-inspired cuisine to signature cocktails, this lounge transforms waiting for your flight into a delightful experience! 🌃 • Culinary Delights 🍴: Enjoy Hong Kong-style dishes crafted by Michelin two-star chef Lau Yiu Fai (from Yan Toh Heen at InterContinental Hong Kong), such as barbecued pork puff, black truffle shrimp balls, and nourishing fish maw and conch soup. 🥣 The buffet offers both Western and Asian options, including Swiss muesli for breakfast and slow-cooked lamb rack and dim sum for lunch and dinner. Dessert lovers shouldn’t miss Mövenpick vanilla ice cream—rich and creamy! 🍨 • Exclusive Bar 🍸: Featuring nine Hong Kong-inspired cocktails created by legendary New York mixologist Jim Meehan (PDT at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental), such as the "Rickshaw" (vodka + ginger beer). Anthony Giglio’s curated selection of wines and champagnes is also available, along with mocktails for non-alcoholic options. 🍹 The bar is open until 11:30 PM, offering a chill atmosphere! • Comfortable Seating and Views 🛋️: The open design includes floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the tarmac, perfect for AvGeeks! ✈️ Seating options range from high stools and dining tables to lounge chairs.
