Qatar Airways officially opens its new Premium Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport at Terminal 1.
The new Singapore lounge serves as the benchmark and blueprint for Qatar Airways’ future Premium Lounges worldwide. Featuring an ultra luxurious interior and enhanced offerings, the new Premium Lounge aims to narrow the gap between business and first class lounges.
At an official ribbon-cutting ceremony held at Singapore Changi Airport, Qatar Airways Senior Vice President Eastern Regions, Mr. Marwan Koleilat, showcased the lounge’s lavish and distinctive features to VIPs including His Excellency Mr Saoud Jassim Al-Jufairi, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Embassy of the State of Qatar in Singapore, Mr. Lee Seow Hiang, Chief Executive Officer, Changi Airport Group, Mr. Han Kok Juan, Director General, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, and Mr. Kerry Mok, President & CEO, Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS).
Spanning approximately 700 square metres to accomodate about 85 passengers, the Premium Lounge is available to Qatar Airways Business Class passengers offering a sophisticated environment with contemporary Arabic design elements.
The grand entrance showcases Qatar Airways’ signature “Marhaba” engraved stand-stone wall with a luxurious display of fresh white Orchids. A botanical patterned wall inspired by Singapore’s affinity to horticulture and greenery is also added for a local touch.
Thoughtfully planned for different your needs, the lounge features seven different seating areas including the Principal Lounge, Quiet Pods, Garden Bistro, High Seating, Martini Bar, Brasserie and Private Lounge.
Catering to a premium culinary standard, the lounge is equipped with a full kitchen for freshly-prepared à la carte food orders on demand, on top of an existing buffet spread offering an international menu. A dedicated mixologist is also available at the centrepiece Martini Bar, offering mocktail and cocktail options to complete the five-star lounge experience.
You can also occupy one of the five Quiet Pods, which offer a cozy, semi-private space equipped with sound proofing, reading lights, a coat hanger and universal charging points.
Other unique features include custom furniture pieces that offer you both style and comfort. This includes a carefully designed sideboard, strategically placed next to the seats, and includes a lamp, universal plug point, wireless charger and a compartment suitable for storing handbags and personal belongings.
Qatar Airways has a growing portfolio of Premium Lounges in key markets. These exclusive Arabic-inspired lounges currently in operation are located in London, United Kingdom, and Beirut, Lebanon, while the remaining two in Paris, France, and Bangkok, Thailand, will reopen in due time.
The airline currently operates daily flights between Singapore and Doha. As travel restrictions ease, the national carrier of the State of Qatar continues to rebuild its network, which currently stands at over 150 destinations. With more frequencies being added to key hubs, Qatar Airways offers unrivalled connectivity to passengers, making it easy for them to change their travel dates or destination if they need to.
