Plaza Premium Lounge and Wellness Spa officially debut in Australia

BRISBANE – Plaza Premium Group (PPG) and Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) jointly celebrated the grand opening of the new Plaza Premium Lounge in Brisbane on September 28.

 

“It was a great coup for Brisbane to feature Australia’s first Plaza Premium Lounge. Brisbane is Australia’s New World City and with our growing international profile we are seeing record numbers of overseas visitors travelling direct to our city,” said Councillor Graham Quirk, Lord Mayor of Brisbane.

 

“For this reason, we believe it’s a great vote of confidence in our city and we look forward to Brisbane Airport visitors being provided with world-class service through this new venture.” added Councillor Quirk.

 

 

“As the world’s largest independent airport lounge, we are very excited to join hands with Brisbane Airport Corporation to introduce our independent airport lounge concept to Australia. Sharing a passion for enhancing travellers’ experience in airports brought us together. Our collaboration will set a new standard for premium airport services in the region.” remarked Mr Song Hoi-see, Founder and CEO of PPG during the opening ceremony.

 

 

Speaking at this auspicious event, Julieanne Alroe, CEO and Managing Director, BAC said, “The official opening of the Plaza Premium Lounge occurs at a time of exciting growth for Brisbane Airport. World-class facilities like this Plaza Premium Lounge underpin Brisbane Airport’s status as Queensland’s gateway to the world and as the most connected hub in Australia for international visitors.”

 

 

Located on level 4 between the departure gates 81 and 82 of the International Terminal, the new Plaza Premium Lounge spans over 4,500 square feet with the seating capacity of over 100. Taking into account the abundant natural resources in Australia, Plaza Premium Lounge in Brisbane Airport engaged an Australian designer from Mitchel Squires & Associates to employ rustic elements with modern structures and fine materials in its design. The Victorian ash wood is chosen for the lounge to create a warm and relaxing ambiance, which seamlessly complements the Italian marble flooring in the bar area. Close to the reception area is the lounge wall featuring a series of 3D tiles that are inspired by the components of water, sand and minerals in Australia to reinforce the natural elements in the contemporary lounge design. The soaring windows bring extra charm by filling up the lounge with natural sunlight and offering magnificent views over both the innovatively designed terminal as well as the runway.

 

As the winner of the “World’s Best Independent Airport Lounge” by Skytrax, Plaza Premium Lounge offers its guests everything that can be expected from a state-of-the-art independent airport lounge in Brisbane Airport: Plaza Premium’s signature honeycomb seating offers extra privacy for guests to work or relax; complimentary Wi-Fi and a multitude of electrical outlets allow its guests to stay connected throughout their journey. The menu of the lounge comprises a delectable selection of mouth-watering fare, including different types of delicacies, live-cooking hot meals, salad bar, freshly brewed barista-made coffee, a variety of soft drinks, as well as alcoholic beverages.

 

 

Apart from the grand opening of Plaza Premium Lounge, it is also marked the official opening of Wellness Spa, which is also under the management of PPG and next to the Plaza Premium Lounge in Brisbane. The spa provides a tranquil sanctuary for travellers to relieve their travel ailment and fatigue. The professionally trained therapists have prepared a selection of treatments with the aid of Australian spa products for travellers to recharge and rejuvenate before their onward journey.

 

These new airport facilities are designed above all to reflect the brand experience of Plaza Premium and Wellness Spa ,and to offer travellers both enjoyment and tranquillity whilst at Brisbane Airport, whether they are embarking on a short trip or at starting a long journey.
