I like both, but walking into the Pier I just feel more relaxed. Actually was at the Qantas lounge recently, and due to the open air design, sharing the space with the terminal hall, it was pretty warm everywhere.
I guess QF puts more emphasis on more cool and dark colours with lots of steel and marble features rather than CX's new concept which is more cozy by comparison.
I felt that CX's old lounge design feels cold though sleek.
