American Express Centurion Lounges are now found at Hong Kong International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport.

The Hong Kong lounge opened Oct. 2, as the first of its kind in Asia. Covering 8,000 square feet, it includes a premium buffet with both Western and Eastern menu items; a complimentary full bar; private phone areas; meeting space; a shower suite; and a private Centurion area with a menu designed by Michelin-starred chef Lau Yiu Fai, from InterContinental Hong Kong.

The Centurion Lounge at Philadelphia International Airport is scheduled to open late this month, taking up 6,300 feet in Terminal A West. Perks include an Israeli-inspired menu by award-winning chef Michael Solomonov; a complimentary full bar; expansive views; and amenities for business travelers, such as workspaces and high-speed WiFi.

In addition to the two new lounges, American Express is moving its Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Centurion Lounge to a larger space in Terminal D, opening in 2018. With 3,000 extra square feet, new amenities include a private mother’s room and additional shower suite.

“We are excited to introduce our first Centurion Lounge in Hong Kong, which continues to be a top destination for our Card Members and an epicenter for contemporary culture. We’re equally thrilled to expand our offerings in the United States with the opening of a Centurion Lounge location in the growing travel hub of Philadelphia. These two new additions to our Centurion Lounge offerings and broader Global Lounge Collection build on our ongoing commitment to provide our increasingly global card members with access to premium travel benefits and experiences,” said Janey Whiteside, executive vice president and general manager of global charge products, benefits and services, American Express.

Access to The Centurion Lounge is complimentary and exclusive to Platinum Card and Centurion Members.

High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture

It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
