The
Qatar Airways Premium Lounge at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport welcomes the airline’s Business and First Class passengers, as well as Privilege Club Platinum, Gold, and Silver members, and
oneworld Emerald and Sapphire members when travelling on
Qatar Airways.
Opened in December 2016, the Qatar Airways Premium Lounge is the most luxurious club at Paris CDG Terminal 1. Qatar Airways has completely transformed a drab space formerly occupied by a contract lounge and offices into a luxurious haven. Fine stone, exquisite finishes, and subtle lighting foster a serene ambiance, with service to match.
The lounge boasts an indoor fountain, no less than two open-air terraces (one is designated as a smoking area), individual bathrooms with sinks and space to change, elegant showers suites with rain showers, and a prayer room. Natural light abounds, with grand views over the tarmac. The seating arrangement caters primarily to solo travelers and couples but also accommodates larger groups.
Qatar offers a hot buffet, a full bar, barista coffee, as well as a full-service restaurant with table service offering a wide variety of exquisitely plated international dishes.
Other amenities include a business center as well as a selection of international press.
The only major downside of the Qatar Airways Premium Lounge is that it is located before security. Be sure to allow sufficient time to go through security and reach your departure gate.
