Overview
Remodeled in 2018, the Qantas Domestic Business Lounge at Melbourne airport features a rejuvenated space with a trendy and upper-scale decor that blends an Italian-inspired design with hints of Melbourne’s urban and sophisticated culture. High-end finishes and furnishes include natural timber floors, brass and black metal fittings, and custom brass lighting.

The space, built in the footprint of the former Qantas Club, boasts floor-to-ceiling windows with views on the tarmac.

The focal point of the design is the impressive bar clad in Nero Marquina marble from Northern Spain, where guests may indulge in barista-crafted coffee and refreshments throughout the day. Australian wines and beer make an appearance at noon daily, with a happy hour featuring Rockpool cocktails every evening from 5 to 6 pm.

The food offering includes menus curated by Neil Perry. The hot buffet features a selection of Asian dishes such as friend rice, noodles, and greens. The “Spice Bar” serves made-to-order Asian soups, noodles, and street food from noon every day, including sichuan eggplant with rice and stir fried gai lan, wonton noodle soup, and char sui pork with rice and stir fried choy sum.

At Qantas’ signature Quench “hydration station”, guests can choose from a selection of hot teas, infused waters, and detox drinks.

Other amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, computer workstations, wireless printing, power and USB plugs at most seats, and elegant shower suites with ASPAR by Aurora amenities.

    Not bad, but a long shot from where it could be, especially when compared to what QF are capable of in the first class international lounge in Sydney. The food is OK, there are fresh salads (depending time of day), nice yoghurts for breakfast, and the selection varies by time of day and there’s practically always something nice to nibble on. Usually there’s plenty of seating available, but it can get a bit tight during rush hour.

    However, in the first class domestic lounge (which they call business domestic), the absence of proper champagne is inexcusable. The god awful acid reflux instilling bubbles they try to pass off as champagne is revolting. That’s -2 stars for the business, and -1 star for the business / club lounges. Comeon Alan Joyce, it’s not that hard to take that last step, this ain’t JetStar!

    This same review applies to all QF domestic lounges (first/business and club) I’ve visited. I’ll post this same review accordingly to each that I have visited in the past 12 months.
