Star Alliance has opened a second lounge at
Paris Charles de Gaulle airport in France.
The new lounge, located airside after immigration
and security controls in the newest part of the terminal, can
accommodate over 300 guests across approximately 1,300 square
meters.
The lounge is available to First and Business
Class passengers, Star Alliance Gold status customers on member
airline flights departing from gates 10 to 38 in Terminal 1, and
eligible United Club and Air Canada Maple Leaf Club members.
“Star Alliance stands for elevating the experience
of its member airline passengers, and airport lounges play a vital
role,” said Theo Panagiotoulias, Star Alliance CEO. “We’re very
proud to present our new Paris lounge, which is not only a delight
to experience but also thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of
the modern frequent traveller.”
Entrance to Star Alliance’s new lounge at Paris CDG airport
Designed by the architecture firm, Gensler, which
also designed the Star Alliance lounge at LAX, the lounge boasts
runway views and plenty of natural light with a glass façade
running across its length.
Standout features include a Welcome Bar offering a
range of beverages, an immersive Wine Bar featuring master wine
maker Gerard Bertrand and their wines from the South of France, a
Tea Salon offering an assortment from around the world, a Winter
Garden, outdoor courtyard, and a number of shower suites.
For travellers who prefer a quieter space, there
are private work cabins and secluded nooks throughout the lounge.
“Our new Paris lounge expands the count of Star
Alliance branded lounges to seven worldwide and takes the airport
lounge experience to new heights,” said Christian Draeger, Star
Alliance’s Vice President for Customer Experience. “Whether it is
the design, décor or the F&B experience, we have carefully curated
the lounge for a multi-sensorial experience for guests departing
from the dazzling city of Paris.”
There are two Star Alliance lounges operating in
Terminal 1 now. The first lounge, refurbished in 2019 and located
prior to security on level 10, will now serve passengers departing
on intra-Schengen flights from gates 50 to 78, as well as guests
from various lounge access programs departing from all gates.
At present, 20 Star Alliance member carriers
operate from Paris – CDG, offering 464 weekly departures to 34
destinations in 22 countries.
