I have just been offered free membership to this:

Does anyone know it, use it and if so is it recommended? How easy is it to get to once you are at the airport and how much of a layover do you realistically need to make going there worthwhile without too much of a rush?
The standard fees seem very expensive so I assume it is pretty nice?
Thanks for any guidance.

Is this a MPC offer?

This sounds less like a social club and more like a place to have business meetings. there are similar 'clubs' at other airports. One example is the Frankfurt Airport Club. Usually it is full with headhunters talking to candidates and investment bankers meeting with targets.
These places usually have a lot of meeting rooms.

Yes clearly there is a business element to it, but the lounges/bars/terrace look pretty nice in this particular club, so I was hoping someone would have used it. I think next time I am flying out with a bit of time to spare I will go and check it out.
Cxfan1960 - no nothing to do with MPC, it's via one of my credit cards.

This is an interesting subject, but should probably belong to the Other Credit Card Programs forum or the Hong Kong forum.
I am moving this thread over to the Hong Kong forum.

Looks just like another business/dining club in HK except this one is located in HKIA.

Indeed but it seems noone has actually used it so difficult to judge whether it is nice!

If you read their membership info, many of the membership categories include meet/greet/escort at the gate for inbound flights. That might have some value although paying HK$500-1200 a month (unless it is a truly free membership) is a steep for that service unless you enter through HKG an awfully lot.

Well I live in HK so I guess that answers that question! I am assured it is completely free, so I will check it out when I have time and report back.

No idea, but good question, I will try and find out.
