Plaza Premium unveils refurbished lounges at Taoyuan International Airport

Plaza Premium Group (PPG) announced the completion of a comprehensive five-month refurbishment project across its four lounges in Terminals 1 and 2 at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. The extensive upgrade introduces refreshed interiors, enhanced facilities and elevated guest services. Since establishing its presence at Taoyuan International Airport in 2016, the group has served over 6 million travellers across the market, solidifying its role as a trusted partner in Taiwan’s travel and aviation ecosystem. In response to growing travel demand, the refurbishment focused on improving operational efficiency and guest comfort. Through reconfigured layouts, optimised seating arrangements, and upgraded furnishings, the lounges now provide increased seating capacity alongside a more spacious, relaxed environment. Dining facilities have also been significantly enhanced, featuring expanded buffet stations and improved traffic flow to ensure a seamless dining experience. Complementing the newly unveiled spaces, Plaza Premium Group has launched Season Two of its global culinary campaign, Flavours in Transit, under the theme “From Our Roots to Your Plate.” The initiative showcases signature dishes and stories from chefs across the Plaza Premium network, enabling travellers to experience destination-inspired cuisine before departure. Representing Taiwan, Executive Chef Russ Wang presents the lounge’s signature Taiwanese Sha Cha Beef Noodles, crafted with Yilan Sanxing scallions, house-made sha cha sauce and Shaoxing chili oil. The dish offers both local and international travellers an authentic taste of Taiwan and serves as a memorable culinary farewell before departure. In addition to the Global Chef Series menu, the lounges have further enhanced their food and beverage offerings with expanded menus and improved dining experiences. Alongside the popular made-to-order Taiwanese Sha Cha Beef Noodles, guests can now enjoy classic local dishes including Shredded Chicken Rice with Fried Shallots and Taiwanese Sticky Rice, with vegetarian-friendly options also available. Beyond upgrading its dining services, Plaza Premium Lounge has partnered with leading Taiwanese brands to bring local culinary and beverage culture into the airport environment, transforming the lounges into a gateway for travellers to experience authentic Taiwanese flavours. For the first time, Plaza Premium Lounge has partnered with the Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognised Moon Moon Food, introducing the exclusive collaboration dish “Love and Hate Sesame Chili Noodles,” bringing one of Taiwan’s most celebrated flavours directly into the airport lounge experience. On the beverage front, the lounge has joined forces with Taiwanese tea brand Chappii to create exclusive signature tea beverages that showcase Taiwan’s renowned tea culture. Guests can also enjoy specially crafted cocktails developed in collaboration with Drink Sport, a local brand known for blending Oolong tea traditions with whisky-inspired mixology. To further enhance guest engagement, selected lounges will feature a DIY cocktail bar where travellers can create their own personalised beverages, making airport time more memorable through an interactive and locally inspired experience.
