Star Alliance has opened a second lounge at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and seventh globally. Available to First and Business Class passengers and Star Alliance Gold status customers on member airline flights, the lounge welcomes guests departing from gates 10 to 38 in Terminal 1. Eligible United Club and Air Canada Maple Leaf Club members may also access the lounge.
The new lounge is located airside after immigration and security controls in the newest part of the terminal. The space can accomodate over 300 guests across approximately 1,300 square metres.
The space is enriched by local brands and artists for the quintessential French charm. Reminiscent of the timeless Parisian aesthetics with wall moldings and archways, decorated with captivating black and white photographs of the Eiffel Tower, and furnished with meticulously selected pieces by French artists, the lounge promises a visual delight like no other.
The facility features a Welcome Bar offering a range of beverages, an immersive Wine Bar featuring master winemaker Gerard Bertrand and their wines from the South of France, and a Tea Salon offering an assortment from around the world. There are also private work cabins and secluded nooks throughout the lounge.
Christian Draeger, Star Alliance’s Vice President for Customer Experience said the new lounge takes the airport lounge experience to new heights. “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.”Guests of the new Star Alliance Paris Lounge can unwind in a Winter Garden or a spacious outdoor courtyard, or freshen up in the well-appointed shower suites.
There are now two Star Alliance lounges operating in Terminal 1. 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
