Qantas’ lounge unveiled new interiors this May while Intervals is an innovative concept in the Sky Bridge offering artisanal cocktail flights and exclusive takeaway sets

While Emirates lounge, SilverKris Lounge (Singapore Airlines) and United Club (United Airlines) are still closed, the three Plaza Premium Lounges and the American Express’ The Centurion are open again

When it comes to luxury travel, it’s about the journey just as much as it is about the destination (though some locations are clearly a cut above).

Lounges are often an intrinsic part of a high-end traveller’s itinerary, with many even arriving an extra few hours ahead of the flight to enjoy the five-star facilities before boarding.

Many lounges closed during the pandemic in Hong Kong. It’s only recently, with the city flinging open its doors to the world again, that the lounges started reopening too. Cathay Pacific just reopened its popular The Pier, as did Qantas with its lounge in May.

While we wait for the Emirates lounge, SilverKris Lounge (Singapore Airlines) and United Club (United Airlines) to reopen, we’re resting and rejuvenating at the following five-star stops.
