This year, the title of the best airport lounge in Asia went to Hong Kong.
According to VN Express on Sunday (September 15, 2024), the Centurion Lounge at Hong Kong International Airport has defeated the Changi Lounge at Singapore’s Jewel Changi Airport, as recognized by the World Travel Awards.
This marks the first time Hong Kong has taken the top spot, dethroning Changi, which had been a consistent winner in previous years.
The Centurion Lounge is located on the 7th floor of Terminal 1 at Hong Kong International Airport. Open daily, the lounge is easily accessible via escalators and offers a wide range of complimentary facilities and services.
Jewel Changi Airport, an entertainment and retail complex with a nature theme, is connected to one of Changi Airport’s passenger terminals. Its centerpiece is the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, the Rain Vortex, surrounded by a terraced forest landscape.
Winners are decided by votes from industry professionals and the general public.
Earlier, the World Travel Awards also named Singapore Airlines (SIA) the best airline in Asia for 2024. This marked the sixth time that SIA has claimed the top spot in the same category.
SIA beat 13 major airlines, including Korean Air, Air China, Cathay Pacific, Vietnam Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Royal Brunei Airlines, SriLankan Airlines, Thai Airways, Japan Airlines, and Hainan Airlines. Garuda Indonesia was not among the nominees.
