First look: Qantas reopens refreshed Hong Kong International Lounge

Qantas has officially flung open the doors to its popular Hong Kong International Lounge, which was closed and renovated during the pandemic as part of the airline’s $100 million investment into its global lounge network.

Qantas’ new-look Hong Kong International Lounge has a 2,000m2 footprint and can seat 290 passengers.

It features an updated, warmer colour palette and new furnishings by Australian designer David Caon with panoramic views of Hong Kong’s famous Sky Bridge.

The original design of the lounge has been retained and finishes, such as tiling and screens, have been refreshed to create different zones and a sense of privacy within the lounge.

The food and beverage offering has also been updated. Qantas Creative Director of Food, Beverage & Service Neil Perry has designed a menu of local dishes inspired by regional flavours and ingredients and brought back a fan favourite.

“Our customers absolutely loved the Yum Cha trolley, so we are pleased to confirm we have fired up the dim sum steamers for its comeback and will bring back the much-loved char siu Chinese barbecue pork dish,” he said.

The large bar area will serve a wide selection of premium Australian wines, beer and spirits along with Neil Perry mixologist-designed cocktails such as the Chi Chi, made from dark rum with pineapple, lime and vanilla.

Qantas’ Quench hydration station will be on offer with hot and cold beverages, which support wellness while travelling.

Customers will have the flexibility to dine in the formal dining area, which features a communal table, or in the relaxed lounge seating area.

Qantas Chief Customer Officer Markus Svensson said the airline was proud to continue its investment in Hong Kong as demand returns to the region.

“Our customers have always loved the Hong Kong International Lounge and we are excited to bring it back better than ever,” Mr Svensson said.

“Since we resumed flights to Hong Kong in January, we’ve seen really strong demand.

“This reopening is part of our increased investment in customer experience across our network.”
