@ Guy Doron -- Hmmm? Most definitely was in my review of The Pier, so what am I missing?

Wooo ill be in Hong Kong in November, but is it worth checking this out when i have access to CX F lounges?
That's definitely the bar from The Pier. I hung out on that side for a few hours prior to my last flight home from HKG.
I'll be in HK in December and it will be my first chance to check out a Centurian lounge . I am excited to check it out! I don't know if I will ever fly through airports in the US with Centurian lounges. My authorized users get way more use of them than I do.
I wish they would open one in the DC area !
Given that I almost only connect in HK on a one world carrier, I probably won't ever pick Centurion over CX F lounge
@ Brad -- If you have time and are curious to check it out, you might as well. But it's definitely not going to be better than The Pier, if it's one or the other.
I have been trying to find out the exact opening date as well. The manager from the DFW lounge is the manager of the HKG lounge but all I get is the same October 2017 opening date.
Am going to HKG next week for work; returning October 4. Will be using the CX First lounge(s), but will try to report on whether the Centurion Lounge has opened by then!
I suspect this may be more like the Sydney lounge than the US ones. The Sydney lounge was also built new in the era since Amex opened the US lounges, unlike the Latin America lounges which mostly predate the US ones by many years (though there is a fairly new Centurion lounge in EZE which has the same modern design as the US Centurion lounges but much worse food offerings). And the Sydney lounge I believe is operated by the same third party that also operates the SkyTeam lounge in Sydney, and since there is also a SkyTeam lounge in HKG they may be doing the same thing there.
There's a soft opening on Friday!
A travel blogger in HK got an invitation for a sneak peek.

I’m looking forward to it. I’ll fly CX in First in a few month, though that diesn’t grant me access to CX’s fantastic lounges (only the arrival lounge). My connecting flight is on SQ in Business, so Amex Lounge will be better than Star Alliance J lounge - at least, that’s what’s I am hoping for.
I was in the pier a few months ago and that is certainly a photo from there. I actually sat at that specific bar.
I'm flying out of PHL in a few weeks. Really hoping to catch at least a soft opening there.
Do we know where it'll be in Terminal 1? Near Disney Store/McDonald's when you clear customs? Before the train somewhere else?
Apologies if I missed that detail.
@ danny -- The only way to access this lounge is through a credit card. There's no type of ticket as such that will get you in.
I will be passing through HKG on 9th October... if it opens that early, then I will pass along some photos
I heard that the Centurion Lounge in HKG is located at the former Virgin Club House.
@ Ivo - if it is located at the former Virgin Club House (pretty big! and has been vacant since more than 2 years ago), it's gonna be on the 2nd floor, next to Plaza Premium Lounge, above the Armani store. The Plaza Premium Lounge will be competitive to the new Centurion Lounge because it's got a shower room and a sleep room aside from the regular noodle bar, salad bar, magazine area, etc.
Ivo, you are correct, will be there tomorrow to be shown around, some of us holders of the card in HK have received an invite , the CX Pier has been slipping every since they changed the food/beverage license away from the Peninsular Group
@Lucky Can't wait to hear your review of the food. Yan Toh Heen is incredible so will be interesting to see how much of the quality translates to the Lounge.
Per TPG, the HKG lounge will open on Monday. Due to a last minute trip, I will be passing through on Wednesday. I tag you in some Instagram photos
Thanks for the good news, Lucky. I've got an eight-hour layover there on Sunday, October 29th. I had planned to go to SkyCity Marriott for a shower and some sleep but I think I'll cancel and enjoy the new lounge instead. I'll be there from 1:40pm to 9:35pm if any readers are passing through that day.
I intentionally booked a late flight leaving ORD the previous Sunday (after Chicago Seminars) thinking there was a lounge there, too. Did I dream that? I thought I remembered Rene getting a group together to go to the AmEx lounge last year.
