Plaza Premium Lounge, the world's largest independent airport lounge network, has expanded in Australia with a new addition at Sydney airport.

 

It is the brand’s third addition in Australia joining locations in Melbourne and Brisbane as part of the world’s largest and Skytrax-winning network of independent airport lounges with more than 80 locations at over 35 international airports globally.

 

“Sydney is a popular destination and Sydney International Airport is the country’s busiest airport connecting 70 per cent of the world destinations.” said Song Hoi-see, founder and chief executive officer of Plaza Premium Group. “With the latest opening, we are proud to serve in all of Australia’s top three busiest airports – Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Thank you to Sydney Airport team for the trust and we will make travel better for global travellers.”

 

“Plaza Premium Group’s new lounge at the T1 International terminal is a welcome addition to our extensive lounge portfolio, providing customers with a quiet and comfortable space to relax post or pre-flight. Greater accessibility through Plaza Premium Group’s pay-per-use option also ensures every passenger can enjoy this great new location.” said Vanessa Orth, chief commercial officer of Sydney Airport. 

 

Led by Australian firm IA Design, the new lounge is dressed in a combination of birch and emerald green, the lounge ambiance is inspired by the country’s abundant beaches, bushlands and natural landscapes. Part of the brand’s promise to promote sustainability, Australian Tasmanian oak sourced locally is incorporated as an appreciation of nature. Through floor-to-ceiling windows capturing the stunning runway, the space is filled with abundance of day light for travellers to feel at ease.

 

Open daily from 6am to 10pm, guests can indulge in a variety of food options from self-serve counter or choose from the made-to-order, enticing “glocal” menu. Breakfast is served until 11:30am and includes comfort food such as French Toast with Berry Compote and Whipped Cream, while an all-day menu available from 11:30am onwards showcases a selection of lighter options and substantial meals, featuring classic Aussie favourites such as Gourmet Mac n Cheese and Classic Aussie Chicken Parmigiana with Green Leaf Salad to global cuisines like Sticky Pork Bao and Italian Meatballs with Garlic Bread. Guests can also opt to see chefs in action at the live kitchen corner while anticipating their pizzas freshly baked with classic favourites. Vegetarians will be taken care of with delicious meat free choices.

 

Plaza Premium Lounge Sydney re-creates a laid-back ambience between 1 and 4 pm with the introduction of high tea paired with Dilmah, the renowned Sri Lankan tea brand known for its authentic unblended teas. Guests will find Lemonade Scones with Whipped Cream and Strawberry Jam matched with Dilmah Gourmet Italian Almond Ceylon Single Origin or Smoked Salmon and Dill Tart with Lemon-infused Beurre Blanc with Dilmah Ceylon Young Hyson Green Tea.
