I prefer The Pier. The First Class entrance is just after Gate 61 and the Business Class entrance is by Gate 65, Departure Level 6.
The Wing is between Gates 2 & 3, Departure Level 6.
Although The Pier can be a trek from departures by Gates 1-4, I think it is worth it, especially if you are travelling with light carryons. I've made it from The Pier to Gate 2 in about 15 minutes.
Shower "suites" in The Pier are slightly larger than at The Wing. There are black slate floors, glass tile walls with imbedded pebbles, and a floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door. Everything is provided: XXL towel, soap, shampoo, toothbrush & toothpaste, hairdryer, razor, etc. Note that the above description does no justice to the beautiful design. Perhaps the CX website will soon offer a virtual tour of facilities at The Pier.
Showers at The Wing have a similar design concept...minimalist cool black granite and brushed steel. First class lounge offers the cabanas and a tub to soak in.
