We were established in Hong Kong in 1998 by our founder, who is a business traveller who understood the value of an airport lounge and felt that the experience, and the comfort and convenience, shouldn’t just be limited to a circle of privileged travellers. Through the years we have worked incredibly hard to create an experience which aspirational merges quality and accessibility. After over two decades of successful operations, Plaza Premium Group is technology-enabled and now spans four core business segments: airport lounges, airport terminal hotels, airport meet & greet services, and a range of airport dining concepts.

In addition to our own brands, Plaza Premium Group provides airport hospitality solutions to leading airlines, alliances and corporates around the world.

Here are a few names you might recognize: Cathay Pacific Airways, Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa, China Southern Airlines, Star Alliance, SkyTeam, American Express, just to name a few.

The Group has won more than 60 accolades in the last five years.

We won “World’s Best Independent Airport Lounge” for four consecutive years from 2016 to 2019 at the Skytrax World Airline Awards (the global benchmark for aviation excellence).
