Debuting in February 2027, the experience will come to 100 premium-level hotels across Asia-Pacific, with 220 more hotels across Greater China joining in early 2027.The participating lounges will offer elevated food and beverage programming, have dedicated associates on-site during peak lounge hours and serve locally-inspired offerings, according to the company's press release.Reward your inbox with the TPG Daily newsletterJoin over 700,000 readers for breaking news, in-depth guides and exclusive deals from TPG’s expertsBy signing up, you will receive newsletters and promotional content and agree to our Terms of Use and acknowledge the data practices in our Privacy Policy.
