Having to spend 200K/yr on it though would be a difficult pill and even with business spend I would be falling short. Still, intriguing concept on AMEX's side.
I visited the lounge and find it to be an extension of the Plaza premium next door with a better bar and colder beer. The food in the Plat only section was similar to that served in the two plaza lounges this morning.
I am a Centurion and Plat card holder (US) and the private Centurion section is not that mindblowing as some of the online card pimps like TPG make it out to be.
If you have access to the Cathay lounges..stick with them.
