MONTREAL — After a year-long, head-to-toe makeover, **********’s international Maple Leaf Lounge at Montreal-Trudeau airport is finally open.
Located between gates 52 and 53, the new lounge measures 1,022 square metres and has seating capacity for 259 customers. Highlights include floor-to-ceiling windows, a full service bar, live food station with a chef, barista-style specialty coffees, complimentary Wi-Fi, a cyber work counter, living rooms, showers with heated floors and an exclusive private area for special guests. Customers also enjoy complimentary alcoholic beverages, including a selection of Canadian wines.
A touch of ‘Canadiana’ makes the space even more inviting. Multiple zones inspired by nature include a garden ceiling by Quebec artisan Pascale Girardin, travel-inspired photography by Montreal-based Nicolas Ruel, special maple wood and Ontario Eramosa marble, and custom furnishings by local Canadian designers Nienkämper, Mobilier Moderne and Brent Comber.
“We are thrilled to welcome eligible ********** and Star Alliance customers to our completely redesigned international Maple Leaf Lounge at Montreal-Trudeau airport. Our newest international lounge incorporates many elements sought after by today’s business and premium travelers including a quiet, stress-free place to work or relax while travelling, and our new lounge is designed with this in mind,” said Benjamin Smith, President, Passenger Airlines at **********. “Surrounded by Canadian and Quebec design artistry and craftsmanship, as well as elements highlighting the majestic natural beauty of Canada, customers will enjoy an inspiring environment before their ********** flight.”
In addition to the new Montreal international Maple Leaf Lounge, ********** is investing in the customer airport experience throughout its network with the recently opened Newark Maple Leaf Lounge, an expanded Vancouver international Maple Leaf Lounge opening in summer 2017, a new Saskatoon domestic Maple Leaf Lounge opening in fall 2017, and refurbishments planned for its domestic Maple Leaf Lounges at Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver in 2017.
