Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) Lounges

Written By Michaela Kinnoch

Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), is often regarded as one of the world’s finest aviation hubs. First opened in 1998, it is located on the island of Chek Lap Kok in western Hong Kong, and is thus also referred to as Chek Lap Kok International Airport, to distinguish it from its predecessor, the former Kai Tak Airport, which is now defunct.

HKG is connected to over 200 destinations across six continents, is one of the world’s busiest passenger airports, and as of 2024, was ranked the world’s busiest cargo airport by ACI World (Airports Council International).

There are a staggering 18 lounges at Hong Kong International Airport.

This comprehensive guide will provide all the need-to-know information regarding their locations, pricing, access methods, and features to help you make an informed decision about which lounge best suits your needs, preferences and budget.

While there are 2 Terminals at Hong Kong Airport, Terminal 2 primarily serves as a check-in and processing area. After completing check-in and security procedures in Terminal 2, passengers are transported to Terminal 1 for boarding. Consequently, all lounges are located in Terminal 1.

To help you navigate more easily, we've provided a list of lounges below with quick links so you can jump straight to the one you're interested in.

Natural materials such as cherry wood furnish the lounge, giving it a warm, residential vibe. Seating options range from picnic-style tables and booths, to barstools, sofas and low-upholstered loungers.

This is also one of our personal favourite business class lounges that we’ve been to.
