The Lounge
It's an existing biz class lounge that was converted to first class only for this interim time. There are some things missing, like a work area, computers, and specialized first amenities that the other lounges have.Dining Area
So there is a fairly large dining area for custom food orders. I didn't get the menu?? What is wrong with me? It's heavily Chinese food influenced, shocking in Hong Kong eh?Other Food and Drink
An ever-present selection of smaller bites and food are around, plus the main bar with the good stuff (like a $250 bottle of cognac).
Good seating, and where Rob sat
Eclectic and very limited, by the Library seating
This... is the work area. Um, No.
Out in the air seating, which is ok, but I want a little more comfort
Of the two, this is where I choose to sit
Food made right here, mainly noodles and dumplings
Yes, of course the dining needs its own bar
Mmm, ok, this is quality drink
Breakfast time, hot food, no waiting
Um... yeah, no thanks for Rob
This was behind me at the main bar, almost hidden. I didn't see it at first
Summary
Is it first class? Yeah, mostly. It has the higher end service and better food/drink than business lounges. It has gaps though too. No special areas for quiet, no "bureau" work area. It's a place holder, and it feels like it.If you have access, you have access to The Pier, where you should head anyways.
