Centurion Lounge HKG (Opened 2 October 2017, Reopened 30 November 2022)
The Points Guy is reporting that AMEX will be opening a Centurion lounge at HKG sometime this year:
American Express has now confirmed that it’ll begin launching Centurion Lounges at airports around the world, starting with a Hong Kong location that’s expected to open by the end of this year. We know exclusively that the new lounge will be located in Terminal 1, which is where nearly all long-haul flights depart from, including those to the US and Europe. The HKG location will be more than 8,000 square feet, which is on par with the largest US locations, and since it’s modeled after the company’s fantastic US lounges, you expect a full premium bar (including speciality regional cocktails), a variety of hot and cold buffet items, several different seating areas, free Wi-Fi and more.

Begin launching? There are already some overseas Centurion lounges, for example the one in EZE that was moved and improved fairly recently.

That being said, I believe AMEX differentiates the "Centurion Lounge Network" (which is US lounges and now HKG) and the "International AMEX Lounge Network" (which are the existing overseas ones, some of which are called Centurion Lounges / Centurion Clubs, others which are just called American Express Lounges). Basing this on the AMEX website which makes that minor distinction: https://www298.americanexpress.com/b...#/loungefinder Regardless, HKG AMEX Centurion Lounge is coming which is great news. |
While it's an obvious market it's not exactly like HKG is underserved by good lounges. It'll be hard to really stand out here.

But pretty please do like the Centurion Club in MEX and have an inner lounge for Centurion members!!! I think there are a good number of Centurion members in Hong Kong so maybe this is doable. |
I hope they open in other cities in Asia like in Singapore and Bangkok too. I wonder how expensive it is for them to maintain such lounges as compared to other card companies that do not provide such a differentiating service.
I think The fees for a Platinum card in Asia is alot more than the US ones and you do not get the same benefits as with the US version...so about time they open more lounges in Asia |

The fees are huge for a Centurion card in Hong Kong so that alone should help pay for a lounge.
even in Singapore, I think its 1,700 SGD now or 1,200 USD :( |
Are there any additional benefits for the huge AF?

I would think first priority should be to establish lounges in airports that don't currently offer PP lounges, or where they're located in a way that they cannot be accessed by all passengers.

Any word on the location? Agents in DFW are mentioning the new HKG and PHL lounges and expansion of SEA when you check in.
