Airways’ new oasis for premium travellers<br />
at Doha’s Hamad International Airport.<br />
Qatar Airways’ premium class<br />
passengers are now able to<br />
enjoy the long-awaited lounges<br />
the carrier has been heavily<br />
investing in to ensure its luxury offering on<br />
the ground matches its already exceptional<br />
passenger experience in the air. This<br />
development followed the opening of Doha’s<br />
Hamad International Airport on May 27,<br />
2014 which enabled the carrier to transfer<br />
its flights from the old Doha International<br />
Airport to the new world-class facility.<br />
Quality<br />
Situated on the terminal’s level 3, and<br />
is easily accessed by an escalator one<br />
floor up from departures, the Al Mourjan<br />
Business Lounge opened in August last<br />
year and is described by the carrier as<br />
“one of the largest lounges in the world”,<br />
and from a passenger’s perspective it is<br />
indeed vast. Spanning over two storeys<br />
and covering 107,642sq ft (10,000m 2 ),<br />
it occupies the same space as ten<br />
Olympic-size swimming pools and can<br />
accommodate up to 1,000 guests at a<br />
time. They can choose from a variety of<br />
spaces designed to suit every need, be<br />
it enjoying a drink, catching a nap in one<br />
of the quiet rooms, taking time out in a<br />
family room or indulging their taste buds<br />
in a choice of dining areas.<br />
