Etihad Airways First & Business Class Lounge

The Etihad Airways First & Business Class Lounge at Melbourne airport opened in July 2016, providing the airline’s premium and elite passengers with an exclusive environment in which to relax before their flight.

The “modern Arabian” design language features a combination of bold lines and shapes, with traditional colors and luxurious materials. The sculptural bar acts as the centerpiece of the design, and faces a chic dining area flanked by posh seating areas.

Etihad offers full sit-down a-la-carte dining service, in addition to a generous buffet. The alcoholic beverage selection is not to be missed, with an assortment of original handcrafted cocktails.

Other amenities include shower suites, prayer rooms, and a variety of magazines and newspapers.

Reserved solely for Etihad passengers, the Etihad lounge is one of the airport’s most exclusive lounges. A dedicated area can also be made available for VIPs. The only downside – the only windows face the atrium, and the lounge does not receive daylight.
