The new AMEX Centurion Lounge @ HKG is located at the previous VS lounge, adjacent to United Club. The Centurion Lounge HKG is designed by Legend Interiors, who is also responsible for QA lounges and the recent CX lounges renovation at HKG. The lounge is operated by Plaza Premium Lounge.

....may as well take up the ultima or UOB reserve card then. if they can open one in HK, I would think they would be able to do so in Singapore (fingers crossed!). The CIP terminal is an absolute joke....think too few people use it for them to justify doing it up nicely in terms of food and drink options.

New Centurion Lounges...Why HKG
Why HKG? There is already Priority Pass Choice, most Elite Flyers have access to their own Airlines Lounges and unlike USA Business Class Passengers in HKG you also get Inclusive Lounge access even if no Status.
To me ORD should be the Next Centurion Lounge somewhere between Terminal 2 and 3 to serve the Hundreds of Thousands of UA and AA Platinum Flyers like me.

No, there aren't. There's an International American Express Lounge at EZE (and MEX), and those have been around for a long time. The Centurion Lounge program was started just a few years ago in the US, and it's been announced that HKG will be the first non-US location for a Centurion lounge. They are separate lounge programs, even if they are both run by Amex.

Also - the amenities of Plaza Premium Lounge (the only PP lounges in HKG) can't satisfy its cardmembers who look for a luxurious experience.
A quick Google search will reveal that AMEX seems to explore the possibility of a Centurion Lounge at ORD.

Yes indeed as you can see here http://thecenturionlounge.com/international/
There are actually 3 Centurion Clubs at MEX and Centurion Clubs at TLC and MTY.

I agree with your comment about the Plaza Premium lounges in Hong Kong, but, wouldn't classify any Centurion Lounge as luxurious, even when empty.

I don't think anyone will argue that AC, even as new, is considered a nice lounge.
At least AMEX is trying...unlike other lounges...

Actually, yes, many do care and you flippantly stating that nobody does, actually doesn't make it true, but thanks for playing.
With respect to Cent Lounges, it doesn't matter a red cent to many of us how nice they are if the line to enter is out the door and down the stairs and there is nowhere to sit down once inside or if they aren't located where the majority of cardholders at a given airport can access them because they are in a different terminal.
