Cathay Pacific will today (7 December) officially reopen its First and Business Class Lounge at London Heathrow’s T3.
The lounge, which has been extensively renovated, now features separate First and Business Class areas making it the only Cathay Pacific lounge outside of Hong Kong to have these distinct zones.
Designed by Studioilse, the renowned London-based design studio led by Ilse Crawford, the Heathrow lounge echoes the contemporary Asian aesthetics of Cathay Pacific’s lounges at Hong Kong International Airport.
At 1,200 square metres, the new London lounge is 30% larger than its predecessor and features floor-to-ceiling windows providing panoramic views of the airport’s apron and northerly runway.
Cathay Pacific General Manager Product, James Evans, said, “At Cathay Pacific, we care about our passengers’ experience at every stage of their journey – from the moment they arrive at the airport until they reach their destination – and our exciting new Heathrow lounge was designed to enable our customers to travel well. Our aim was to provide our passengers with a tranquil haven to relax before boarding their flights to Hong Kong and we hope our customers are as enthusiastic about the new lounge as we are.”
The lounge is equipped with bespoke Solo Chairs, eight shower suites, and The Bureau for those who may need somewhere quieter to work.
Cathay Pacific’s Heathrow lounge is open to First and Business Class passengers, Silver or above Marco Polo Club members, and Sapphire or above oneworld members, from 05:30 from Monday to Saturday and 07:30 on Sunday until 22:30.
