Also present at Monday’s event were senior members of the Royal Oman Police, Oman Airports Management Company, the Omani media and Oman Air’s Chief Executive Officer, Paul Gregorowitsch.
Designed by UK-based design agency JPA thelounge was first opened in 2010. The refurbishment programme was announced in February 2015 and the reopened facilities can now accommodate an additional 100 guests. In addition, a new family room – designed around the theme of ‘a home away from home’ - and an additional spa room complement the existing quiet rooms, men’s and women’s prayer rooms, wash and shower rooms, and the business centre.
The lounges’ dining facilities have also been enhanced. In addition to the buffet service, with its comprehensive range of fresh dishes, a new a la carte option allows guests to enjoy haute cuisine from the comfort of their lounge seats. For those who are careful about what they eat, there is also a ‘healthy corner’, serving balanced and nutritious meals and snacks.
Reflecting Oman’s tradition of warm hospitality, the refurbished lounges retain their combination of traditional Arabic colours and motifs, contemporary styling and elegant furnishings.
