Mastercard has launched Asia Pacific’s first Taste by Priceless dining club at Hong Kong International Airport, establishing a new premium airport dining experience for international travelers.
The venue is located in Terminal 1 near Gate 40 on the Departures Level (L7). It is open daily from 06:00 to 23:59 to World Legend, World Elite, and World Mastercard cardholders traveling through Hong Kong, regardless of the country where their card was issued.
Taste by Priceless forms part of The Mastercard Collection, a globally connected portfolio of travel, dining, and entertainment benefits. The Hong Kong venue offers seasonal menus developed with acclaimed chefs, combining Asian and Western cuisines with local culinary heritage. The dining spaces include:
* **The Counter:** An intimate, chef-led tasting area featuring a multi-course menu with dishes such as Shiso & Romaine Salad and Superior Chicken Soup.
* **The Cove:** A relaxed a la carte setting offering tapas-style dishes including Pil Pil Prawns and Miso Glazed Cauliflower.
The culinary offerings are accompanied by signature desserts and cocktails designed exclusively for Taste by Priceless locations worldwide.
“Trips today extend beyond the destination itself,” said Joyce Bo, Executive Vice President of Core Payments for Asia Pacific at Mastercard. “As airports increasingly become part of the journey rather than simply a transit point, more travelers are looking for experiences that are worth arriving early for.”
Inside the venue, the interior design incorporates a commissioned oil painting installation by emerging Chinese artist Xinran Guan, focusing on the harmony between the material and immaterial.
**Access and Eligibility**
Eligible cardholders can access the dining club within three hours of departure without making prior reservations. Entry requires a physical World Legend, World Elite, or World Mastercard card (digital cards are not accepted), alongside a same-day confirmed boarding pass and a matching government-issued photo ID.
* **World Legend Mastercard cardholders** receive unlimited complimentary access for themselves and up to three guests.
* **World Elite and World Mastercard cardholders**, as well as additional guests accompanying World Legend cardholders, can access the venue at a promotional rate of US$70 (HK$550) per person until September 30, 2026.
All admitted guests receive chef-curated dining, signature desserts, and beverages included with their visit.
The Hong Kong opening expands Mastercard’s footprint of airport dining lounges, joining an existing location at Guarulhos International Airport in Sao Paulo, with an additional location scheduled to open in Mexico City later in the year.
