General Manager Customer Experience Design Guillaume Vivet said: “Our goal was to create a space that feels genuinely welcoming — one that reflects our commitment to thoughtful, human-centric design.
“From the furniture and dining to the scent and music, every detail has been carefully considered to enhance comfort and contribute to a relaxed, refined atmosphere. The result is a space where customers can truly unwind – a retreat designed to enrich their journey and leave a lasting impression with every visit.”
Aesthetics
The cherry wood, framed screens and black granite and travertine at The Bridge, along with carefully selected plants, furniture pieces, and original artworks from the airline’s award-winning “Gallery in the Skies” concept, come together to foster a residential, cohesive and harmonious environment.
Reception
To provide an innovative and streamlined check-in process, The Bridge will soon be the first Cathay Pacific lounge that adopts a biometric check-in system, complemented by a traditional check-in desk.
Dining and Relaxation
The Bridge is divided into the left and right-hand sides, with the left offering Chinese favourites and delicacies, and the right focused on international culinary delights.
On the left-hand side, customers can visit Cathay Pacific’s iconic Noodle Bar serving signature dishes and all-time favourites such as wonton and dan dan noodles, and dim sum. The rotating menus are further enriched by new Chinese favourites, from main dishes such as biangbiang mian to braised beef shin with cauliflower, to punchy vibrant salads and delectable desserts.
In addition, this side of The Bridge features The Nook, a brand-new concept for Cathay Pacific’s lounges that complements and extends the culinary offerings of the Noodle Bar, while also expanding the dining seating into this cosy corner. Customers will discover a curation of Chinese regional small plates and lighter options packed with punchy flavour and texture, such as made-to-order savoury filled bao, crispy scallion pancakes and steaming rice rolls. A custom dim sum cart, as much a piece of furniture as it is functional, and reminiscent of Hong Kong restaurants, brings something new yet familiar.
The right-hand side boasts a dedicated space for First class customers and Cathay Diamond members to unwind in comfort and privacy while being looked after by the engaging Cathay team.
Also on this side of the lounge and part of the international offering is the Food Hall, which features front-of-house ovens for an elevated oven-to-plate concept. Wholesome, comforting and familiar, the menu boasts individual casseroles such as beef bourguignon and Provencal vegetable bakes, alongside freshly baked pastries, vibrant salads and moreish desserts.
The Bar, with its impressive panoramic views of the runway, is the perfect place for customers to enjoy expertly crafted cocktails, barista coffees or a glass of Champagne while chatting with the engaging Cathay bartenders. With a dedicated relaxation area outfitted with the airline’s bespoke Solo Chairs, customers are treated to an elevated lounge experience unlike any other.
