PREMIUM passengers arriving at Frankfurt Airport with Lufthansa can look forward to a warm reception at the one-of-a-kind Welcome Lounge.
The first facility of its kind in Lufthansa’s worldwide network. The lounge, which opened just over a year ago, is geared to the needs of passengers arriving on long-haul Lufthansa flights and can be used by first and business-class passengers as well as by status customers.
With a total floor area of 1,200 sq m, on two levels, the Welcome Lounge provides all the amenities guests need in order to freshen up after an intercontinental flight and prepare for the day ahead.
Located on the upper level is a spacious comfort area with lounging armchairs and a quiet zone for relaxing plus a bistro area where guests can fortify themselves with various snacks or help themselves to the breakfast buffet with hot and cold dishes.
Wireless internet access is available throughout, while in the dedicated work area workstations and free internet terminals are provided. At reception there is a large cloakroom where guests can leave their baggage during their stay.
During the planning phase, great emphasis was placed on the modern shower area on the lower level which encompasses 28 high-end showers in an elegant design that invite guests to relax and refresh themselves after their flight. A concierge is on hand to allocate the shower facilities and also co-ordinate customer wishes such as the ironing service for HON Circle members, first class guests and senators.
“The Welcome Lounge provides ideal conditions for our premium passengers to start the day feeling relaxed, regenerated and refreshed after a long night flight. In designing the facilities, we paid close heed to the wishes of our frequent flyers and top customers,” explained Dr Karl-Rudolf Rupprecht, Lufthansa’s senior vice president hub management Frankfurt.
