Who we are:

We were established in HK in 1998 by someone who understood the value of an airport lounge and felt that the experience shouldn't just be limited to a closed-circuit group of travelers. Through the years we have worked incredibly hard to create an experience which is both accessible and quality. Almost 25 years later we now span 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, PPG 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 etc.
