Cathay Pacific has reopened its flagship lounge at Beijing Capital International Airport, the first lounge outside Hong Kong to introduce Cathay Pacific’s Lounge Ambassadors.

Cathay says  the Main Lounge has been designed “to deliver the ambiance and comfort of a refined home”.

Alongside the redesigned Beijing lounge, Cathay Pacific also operates two other lounges in the Chinese Mainland – an airport lounge at Shanghai Pudong International Airport as well as its first-ever ferry port lounge at the Shekou Cruise Home Port in Shenzhen for intermodal travellers.

In Hong Kong, the airline recently reopened The Bridge and converted The Deck into an interim First class lounge, during the renovation of The Wing, First, which will reopen in 2026  followed by The Wing, Business.

The Beijing lounge presents guests with three distinct dining propositions. The Noodle Bar will be complemented by The Food Hall, offering  self-serve dining options, and for the first time outside Hong Kong, the Teahouse will serve a selection of premium Chinese teas brewed to order.
