A new Kyra Lounge has opened at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). The joint venture by Airport Dimensions, SSP, and Travel Food Services (TFS) aims to redefine airport hospitality, offering a luxurious and tranquil retreat for travellers passing through Terminal 1 at HKIA.
Strategically located off Terminal 1’s central concourse by Gate 23, Kyra Lounge spans 744sqm and accommodates over 150 guests.
“Passenger traffic at HKIA during the recent peaks has recovered to about 80% of the pre-pandemic level, and is expected to fully recover by the end of this year,” said Wing Yeung, General Manager, Terminal Operations, Airport Authority Hong Kong. “As our traffic continues to grow, the opening of Kyra Lounge, with its brand-new furnishes and delicate gourmet offerings, would further elevate the travel experience at HKIA and provide more options for our passengers to leisurely unwind, recharge, and prepare for their journeys.”
Kyra is a new-to-market brand developed by strategic partners Airport Dimensions, SSP and TFS, to combine their expertise in shaping airport hospitality across the Asia Pacific region and beyond.
“We are delighted to have united the expertise of three industry-leading businesses to deliver the debut of the Kyra brand, calibrated to be the perfect next step in our existing partnership with Hong Kong International Airport,” said Errol McGlothan, President, EMEA & APAC, Airport Dimensions. “Building on the success of Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club at HKIA, Kyra is the perfect addition to our ever-growing portfolio in APAC and is another world-leading lounge solution to help meet the diverse needs of travellers in this busy market. We believe that time spent at an airport should be more than just a necessary step in getting to your destination; it should be a relaxing and enriching part of your journey. From the unique design philosophy, we have employed in its creation through to the carefully considered menu of local cuisine on offer, we are confident that the addition of Kyra will enhance the airport experience for travellers at HKIA.”
Kyra Lounge will be included as part of the Priority Pass network, as well as the LoungeKey network. The lounge is also available to all Hong Kong International Airport travellers looking for a complete hospitality experience through the purchase of entry online or at the lounge.
Developed in collaboration with design firm Studio 5 International, the interiors draw inspiration from the daily cycles of the sun and the natural world. Each area of the lounge, from the vibrant bar to the tranquil relaxation zone, is designed to offer a variety of energy levels to suit all guests. The colour scheme, from warm beiges through to dark greens, is designed to capture “the ephemeral beauty of sunrise to sunset”.
