The Premium Lounge in Guangzhou has great coffee. That’s enough to earn this Priority Pass lounge high marks in my book.
You actually have quite a choice now of lounges in Guangzhou (CAN). Six, to be exact. In addition to this one, you have access to Air China, Baiyun, China Eastern, Hainan, and King lounge. When I was there, this was the only choice.
We’ll start with the coffee, since I was so impressed by it. Barista-made coffee is always nice, but it still takes a good machine and good coffee. This lounge had both. Considering that it is often difficult to find great coffee in China, I was ecstatic. It was better than the coffee at the Park Hyatt Guangzhou.
The coffee area was set up like a bakery several sweet and savory options available:
The lounge was long, but not deep: rectangular in shape. Lights were dimmed and TVs flickered silently. A buffet included several hot options, though nothing looked appetizing to me. Self-service wine was available (one bottle of red, one bottle of white). Behind the coffee counter was more wine an beer as well. Nothing else in terms of alcoholic beverages.
The lounge also includes restrooms and showers, which I did not photograph because they were occupied.
CONCLUSION
Next time I’ll try out some of the other Priority Pass lounges in Guangzhou. But I will certainly stop by this one first for a cup of coffee.
Hi there, thanks for a great review! My husband and I are wanting to go here for a layover, and I just have a few questions.
1. Can you remember how much it cost for you to enter this lounge?
2. What type of food was on offer?
3. What were the opening hours of the lounge?
4. Do you need to pre-book, or can you book at the door?
Thanks!
This was a Priority Pass lounge so it was included in my annual membership (by virtue of my Chase Sapphire Reserve). Food was only what was pictured. No need to pre-book and hours listed in review.
