First of the airline’s existing worldwide network of lounges to be refurbished with the new interior design, the Paris Charles de Gaulle Lounge was originally unveiled within Emirates’ Concourse A Lounges in Dubai in early 2013.

Refurbished with €3.8 million ($4.90 million) investment, the lounge has been relocated to a more central location. The new space, between Terminal 2A and 2C, offers improved customer access and a clear view onto the tarmac, which is designed as a serene location for customers to relax. Besides that the overall size of the lounge has also been increased by 67%, which offers 926 square metre more space to welcome up to 156 passengers.

Designed to match the environment of Emirates’ first class and business class on-board suites, the new refurbished Paris Charles de Gaulle Lounge provides travellers an array of services like a choice of formal or relaxed seating, shower facilities, a dining area, a complimentary hot and cold gourmet buffet, and an extensive beverage service, including selection of French wine.

The 35 existing lounges of the Emirates network will be refurbished according to the new design in a phased plan over the next 18 to 24 months.
