Cathay's home-like Studioilse design in Terminal 1 — understated luxury for oneworld flyers.
The Cathay Pacific First and Business Class Lounge at Taipei Taoyuan, in Terminal 1, was completely remodelled in November 2015 and carries the airline's signature design concept by London-based studio Studioilse — the look that premiered at flagship lounges in Hong Kong, Tokyo Haneda, Manila and Bangkok. The intent is to foster a sense of relaxation in a home-like environment, with touches of understated luxury rather than overt opulence. That residential feel — warm materials, considered lighting and comfortable, lived-in seating — is what sets it apart from the more functional lounges at TPE. It serves Cathay Pacific and oneworld premium-cabin passengers and eligible status holders. If you're flying a oneworld carrier in business or first, or you hold eligible oneworld status, this is the standout branded experience in Terminal 1.
