Yeah, it's right next door to the UA arrivals lounge. I find the pricing a bit ambitious, though.

I would imagine they know what they're doing based on their experience running multiple lounges at HKIA. 35 gbp for 2 hours, presumably including a shower, is not a bad deal.

That would not be a bad deal indeed - but I read this as 35 GBP (for lounge access) plus another 15 pounds for the shower.

35 GBP is approx. $50 USD which is the single entry charge for a United Club. I looked at the link but can not see where there would be an additional charge for the showers though.

Got a promotional email from Heathrow Rewards regarding the new lounge. From the lounge operator's site, definitely looks like there is a 15 pound surcharge for a shower.

Yes thanks for the clarification I was looking at the departures lounge which mentions no additional charge for a shower. Only pay extra for a shower on arrival? Predatory pricing!

This appears to be part of the Priority Pass network with a 3 hour max stay. Also there's no indication of fees for a shower on the PP app.

Finally, on the list posted in OP, the entry fee is 25 GBP for 1 hr and 35 GP for 2 hours.

There's no additional fee for the showers with priority pass.
