Cathay Pacific reopens redesigned flagship lounge at Beijing Capital International Airport

“As a Group, we continue to expand our network in the Chinese Mainland, operating more than 300 return flights per week to 23 destinations during the summer peak. We remain committed to providing customers with a seamless and elevated travel experience through our Hong Kong hub.”

Erica Peng commented: “Our commitment to delivering comfort and human-centric design is thoughtfully woven into every element of our redesigned Beijing lounge. From its layout and lighting to its furnishings and completely revamped dining offerings featuring a unique selection of special dishes inspired by local Beijing flavours, we seek to create the inviting ambience that mirrors the warmth and familiarity of our lounges in Hong Kong and around the world. Our goal is to make our members and customers truly feel at home and well looked after from the very start of their journey with us.”

The new Beijing lounge incorporates features such as natural light optimization through roofing and window orientation, use of materials like cherry wood finish and limestone for a residential feel, as well as a podium-style reception format first introduced at The Bridge in Hong Kong earlier this year. This location is also Cathay Pacific’s first outside Hong Kong to introduce Lounge Ambassadors for personalized customer service.

The Main Lounge area includes designer furniture arranged for both comfort and privacy. Dining options include three distinct propositions: an updated Noodle Bar serving signature dishes like wonton noodles alongside regional specialties such as Beijing bean paste noodles; a Food Hall offering self-serve international dishes; and for the first time outside Hong Kong, a Teahouse where guests can enjoy premium Chinese teas prepared by tea specialists.

Other amenities feature The Terrace—an open-ceiling verandah with bespoke Solo Chairs—and an art collection curated in partnership with contributors from Cathay Pacific’s “Gallery in the Skies” initiative.

Cathay Pacific operates two additional lounges in mainland China: one at Shanghai Pudong International Airport and another at Shekou Cruise Home Port in Shenzhen for intermodal travelers. In Hong Kong, several lounges are available including The Bridge (recently reopened), The Deck (now an interim First class lounge), The Pier (First/Business), while renovations continue on The Wing facilities.

Looking ahead, Cathay Pacific plans further investments exceeding HK$100 billion into aircraft upgrades, cabin products, digital innovations, as well as new flagship lounges in both Hong Kong and New York over coming years.
