The new AMEX Centurion Lounge @ HKG is located at the previous VS lounge, adjacent to United Club. The Centurion Lounge HKG is designed by Legend Interiors, who is also responsible for QA lounges and the recent CX lounges renovation at HKG. The lounge is operated by Plaza Premium Lounge.

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:
Based on their article, I presume this to be true. A nice add to the Centurion Lounge network though I'd still like to see them plug a couple holes domestically (ORD and LAX specifically).

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.

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.

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.

I think it may be more of a priority for them to establish Centurion Lounges in countries where there is a large no of platinum and centurion card members or has the potential for more members. I would think Hong Kong and Singapore would qualify for this outside of the USA.
