USA. Plaza Premium Group (PPG) has unveiled a 10,000sq ft flagship lounge at Orlando International Airport. The airport hospitality company described the 223-guest facility as its “most significant” US investment to date.
The Plaza Premium Lounge, located inside the airport’s new Terminal C, has been designed to cater for both business and leisure guests. As such, the venue features custom-designed seating options, quiet zones, semi-private workspaces, spa-like showers and à la carte dining options.
The facility is also home to a family-friendly zone with an interactive gaming area for children – a PPG first. The family entertainment area includes an interactive screen with a custom ‘turtle drop’ game called Tasty Turtle Treats for older children and KidCast, an audio storytelling platform for young children where every child hears their name and imagines themselves in the story.
In addition, a partnership with the Orlando Museum of Art sees the lounge feature a curated ‘Orlando Storytelling Wall’.
The food & beverage offer in the lounge features a range of signature dishes, including a gourmet Orlando hot dog and children’s dishes such as mac and cheese. Pastries, deserts and cookies are home-made every day. Curated craft cocktails, including three exclusive to Plaza Premium Lounge, are available.
Design aesthetics in the lounge focus on the Orlando experience of ‘sky, gardens and water’, with soothing greens and blues evoking Central Florida springs and waterscapes. Interior floor-to-ceiling glass expanses connect guests to the busy Palm Court in Terminal C and also offer airfield views.
Plaza Premium Group Founder and CEO Song Hoi See said: “The opening of the Orlando Lounge reinforces our commitment to make travel better. We’re committed to offering guests an exceptional experience as we redefine travel with an enhanced lounge offering focused on design, art, local culture, wellness, and sustainability, offering functionality for both business travellers and families.”
Greater Orlando Aviation Authority CEO Kevin Thibault said: “Orlando International Airport is committed to giving passengers a wide variety of choices, and the Plaza Premium Lounge offers a unique hospitality experience in our innovative Terminal C. This gives both business travellers and families on vacation another option to enjoy their Orlando experience.”
The new lounge is open daily to all travellers regardless of airline or class of travel.
