Hong Kong Airport lounges: Is there a Qantas lounge?

The Qantas Lounge at Hong Kong Airport reopened in May 2023. The 2,000 square metre lounge includes a food menu designed by Rockpool’s Neil Perry, high speed WiFi and free showers.

Hong Kong has long been one of the favourite stopovers on the Europe to Australia route. And a symbol that it’s on the way back is the reopening of the Qantas lounge in Hong Kong Airport.

There’s plenty to do on a Hong Kong stopover, including a city tour with dim sum lunch and visiting the Sky100 observation deck.

But if you’d just prefer to kick back in the lounge, there’s now a better place to do it.

How big is the Qantas Lounge at Hong Kong Airport?

Qantas has reopened its Hong Kong International Lounge following an extensive refresh as part of the airline’s $100m investment in its global lounge network. The 2,000 sq m space, which first opened in 2014, is one of the most popular lounges in the Qantas network. It was closed and vacated during the pandemic but has now reopened with an updated colour palette and new furnishings by Australian designer David Caon.

According to Qantas, the improved lounge features a seating capacity for 290 customers overlooking panoramic views of Hong Kong’s famous Sky Bridge. The original design has been retained, but finishes such as tiling and screens have been refreshed to create different zones within the lounge and a sense of privacy for customers.

Food in the Hong Kong Airport Qantas Lounge

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.

Qantas Creative Director of Food, Beverage and Service Neil Perry has designed a menu of local dishes inspired by regional flavours and ingredients. The menu features a selection of Asian-inspired dishes, including char siu Chinese barbeque pork, which was a firm favourite among customers prior to the lounge’s temporary closure.

Perry has also brought back the Yum Cha trolley to the Hong Kong Airport lounge, which proved extremely popular with customers.

Wines, beers and spirits in the Qantas lounge

The large bar area at the Qantas Lounge in Hong Kong Airport serves up 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.

The formal dining area features a communal table, while the relaxed lounge seating area offers customers the flexibility to dine in a more informal setting. For corporate travellers, the business zone is fitted with generous power and data outlets, as well as high-speed Wi-Fi, allowing customers to catch up on emails before their flight.
