Pictures and Directions to the CX Arrivals Lounge in HKG
The pictures were taken from my phone, so I apologize if the quality is not good...
HKIA has two "arrival halls" labeled A and B, however both halls exit into the same arrival floor... The path to the lounge is at the exit exactly in the middle of both arrival halls. If you exit out of "A" go right and if you exit out of "B" go left.
This is the view of Arrival Hall "B" from the middle of the arrivals floor
Look for this sign in the middle of the arrivals hall... Look for the "pay shower" icon on the bottom right of this sign [this is coming from arrival hall B].
Follow the sign and you will see this sign with "Pay-in/Shower Lounges". That is the only "sign" that directs us to the lounge. Keep walking straight ahead...
You will reach this "intersection" follow the "Terminal 2" Sign and go down the escalators.
When you reach the bottom of the escalators you will see the Plaza Premium Lounge to your left, just keep walking straight past that lounge.
After passing the Men's and handicapped's washrooms, the Arrivals lounge is on your right, just before the green emergency evacuation sign.
Hope this helps!

Impeccable directions. I made it in half the time it took me last time since I didn't go astray. I wish that Cathay would follow your lead and put an identical guide on their website.

' dinning' making loud, confused, and usually unharmonious sounds <dinning honks and beeps arose from cars stuck in the massive traffic jam
so a dinning room is a honking room
- must be the food they serve

I have not checked this thread until I started working on my TR 
Glad it was helpful and worked out perfectly! My first time trying to find the lounge, I criss-crossed the arrivals halls several times trying to figure it all out. Then I went up to the departures level, and got even more confused 
Eventually, I found the lounge with some luck.
I did not take many, but I took some pictures of the shower and my meal. The lounge is relatively small, but serves its purpose. I will be posting a few pictures in my TR tonight in the TR forum, but Ben over at One Mile at a Time has better pictures of the lounge atmosphere than I do.
Eventually, I found the lounge with some luck.

golfingboy - Thanks for your excellent directions. After just a couple reads I instantly found the Arrivals facility. It was very handy for an hour's rest and a quick shower before heading to a dinner in town with friends.
Nice lounge and friendly staff. Even as a OW Emerald just arriving on a regional Dragonair Y product I was instantly granted access and offered shower, food, etc (by "even" I mean that if this were BA there would almost certainly be someone who didn't know the rules..).

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm flying into Hong Kong in Cathay business class from AKL, but on a British Airways Club World ticket. Will I be eligible to gain access to the arrivals lounge? I'm struggling to find this out...
Many thanks
Many thanks
