UP FR ONT First things first
HONG KONG AIRPORT welcomed a new airport lounge brand with the July opening of the debut Plaza Premium First lounge in Terminal 1. The new facility is
adjacent to the Plaza Premium Group’s East Hall lounge near Gate 1 and is designed to be a more exclusive (and more
expensive) option for elite travellers – entrance charges start at HK$880 (US$112) for three hours. Guests can expect a welcome tour from a Lounge Ambassador on arrival,
along with a mocktail made using TWG tea and a complimentary ten-minute neck and shoulder massage. The lounge also has a new table-service restaurant called Primo that
provides an à la carte menu with signature dishes such as Maine lobster and traditional marinated goose. Other facilities include the AeroBar, private shower rooms and small meeting rooms.

12 MAGNETIC ATTRACTION
THE RITZ-CARLTON SPA, HONG KONG has rolled out a new series of body and facial treatments featuring “magnetic” skincare products from MDNA Skin, a line of cosmetics developed in collaboration with pop icon Madonna. Four new treatments, including two facials and two body
procedures, will see the skin coated in MDNA Chrome Clay Body Mask. This compound fuses with impurities in the skin – attracting them like a magnet – and when the coating is removed it takes any toxins with it, leaving skin looking radiant and refreshed. Treatments range from 60 to 90 minutes with prices starting at HK$2,280 (US$292).
