though this time the air-carrier decided to produce a unique product. The new Cathay lounge is 1,200 sq.m. big and 30% larger than its predecessor, SilverKris lounge by Singapore Airlines. The new design includes huge panoramic windows overlooking the airport runway, however, nothing can compete with the beauty of its interior design.

The new lounge

… areas took design cues from the warm residential vibe created by Cathay Pacific lounge designer Ilse Crawford. In addition to traditional ‘Dining Room’, which offers table service with freshly prepared dishes made-to-order by the chef, there is also “The Pantry”, where visitors can enjoy grab-and-go snacks, available through the whole day. Cathay Pacific General Manager Products, Leslie Lu, has told Australian Business Traveller that both lounges will reflect some of the elements of the airline’s superior concept, “The Pier” lounges.
