Vancouver Cathay Pacific lounge review
A combined Business and First Class lounge at the western Canadian city, the new noodle bar in the Cathay Pacific lounge at Vancouver is its main attraction, and worth a visit even if you are flying on British Airways.
Designed by Studioilse, the London-based design firm led by Ilse Crawford, the new lounge features warm wood veneers and walls, in the same warm, natural materials that can be found in the other signature lounges for Cathay Pacific.
Lighting is kept dim - reflecting the natural light in the north of Canada, to create an environment that helps passengers feel relaxed by engaging the senses and focusing on 'wellbeing' as a core principle.
The Vancouver Cathay Pacific lounge offers vista views through walls of glass overlooking the runways and the North Shore's mountains.
Specially sourced artwork reflects the local culture of British Colombia, along with many pot plants, and cherry wood walls and a limestone floor.
There are bespoke chairs and side tables with in-built lamps and mains power sockets placed by the windows, so you can enjoy views of the airport runway and mountains beyond.
Don't miss the new 'cube chairs' either - they are Cathay Pacific's latest version of the Solus chair, with a wrap-around, high backed chair with a built-in side table, coat hook, power and USB port for charging a laptop.
Food
There are expanded food facilities at the new lounge provided by the Hong Kong carrier for its premium passengers. The Vancouver Cathay Pacific lounge offers a Noodle Bar with a selection of soups including wonton noodle soup, dan dan soup and authentic Hong Kong-style fish ball noodle soup. The new lounge also has a large salad bar, with cold cuts and cheeses. However, this is rather poor compared to the noodle bar.
Bar
The new lounge is part of a larger initiative that Cathay Pacific has been undertaking to entice new business class customers. As such, the bar is just as you would expect - with a great wine and beer selection, and with spirits in a tiny alcove by the coffee machine. Don't miss the self-serve champagne: it's Piper Heidseck.Business Facilities
There is a tiny Business Centre called 'The Bureau'. There is complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the lounge and three individual workstations with iMacs and printers in The Bureau.
