Plaza Premium Lounge
Plaza Premium Lounge – Hong Kong (HKG) near gate 1
The Plaza Premium Lounge at Hong Kong airport near gate 1 is one the four pay-in clubs operated by Plaza Premium, the world’s largest independent airport lounge operator. The lounge welcomes airline-invited guests, as well as all passengers, regardless of airline or class of service, for a fee.
Plaza Premium’s portfolio at Hong Kong airport includes two additional lounges near gates 35 and 60, as well as an adjacent, higher-end facility dubbed Plaza Premium First.
Plaza Premium Lounge HKG design
The Plaza Premium Lounge at Hong Kong airport near gate 1 was remodeled early 2021, and sports a seductive and elegant décor with luxurious touches. But the remodel could not address the lack of daylight: the club is a cavernous windowless box in an otherwise luminous airport famous for its expansive windows and inspiring architecture.
Seating area at Plaza Premium Lounge Hong Kong airport near gate 1
Seating options include traditional lounge seats flanked by side consoles, highly-private cube chairs with a built-in table, shared work desks, as well as dining tables and booths. Power and USB outlets are plentiful.
The soothing neutral color palette, alliance of natural materials, and elaborate lighting give the space a premium ambiance reminiscent of high-end hotel communal spaces. But the visitor’s experience may vary: when it’s quiet, the Plaza Premium Lounge is a tranquil haven. At peak times, the club loses a lot of its luster and the crowds and noise in a dark and confined space may feel oppressive.
Plaza Premium Lounge HKG amenities
The Plaza Premium Lounge at Hong Kong airport near gate 1 sports a complete line-up of international-grade amenities.
Plaza Premium Lounge Hong Kong airport gate 1 shower suite
The buffet features a selection of hot and cold entrees prepared freshly on site. Highlights include Hong Kong-style flour rolls with peanut and sweet sauce in the morning; cooked-to-order Hong Kong-style fish ball noodles and XO sauce throughout the day, as well as daily tapas in the evening. The menu showcases local cuisine, but less adventurous guests will find staples such as breakfast pastries and western dishes.
In addition, Plaza Premium offers a portfolio of add-on services for purchase, such as elegantly-appointed shower suites, private nap rooms, and massages and treatments. Airline-invited guests should inquire at the reception for details on what is included in their package.
Other amenities include Wi-Fi, a selection of international newspapers and magazines, as well as business services such as computers and printers.
Plaza Premium Lounge HKG bottom line
The Plaza Premium Lounge at Hong Kong airport near gate 1 features an elegant décor, comfortable seating, well-appointed workspaces, an excellent selection of fresh local and international fare, and a superior line-up of amenities such as shower suites and private nap rooms.
However, the dimly-lit space lacks windows and daylight, and several amenities come at an extra cost. Time permitting, pay-in customers may consider visiting the larger and more luminous Plaza Premium Lounge locations near gates 35 and 60, though it’s a long walk back to gate 1 and vicinity.

Overall ratings
Huge place but kind of dark because there are no windows. Really crowded when I was there, no chance to get a seat.
Limited choice of food, for alcohol you have to pay at the bar.
TV, some magazines and newspapers.
Anywhere else, the Plaza Premium Lounge by gate 1 would be a three star lounge, but compared to other lounges in Hong Kong, it disappoints. There is zero daylight, most of the space is extremely dark, and all amenities (showers, bar, etc.) come at an extra cost. Consider alternatives.
