Airport Lounges Look To Add Higher-End Trappings
Luxury travelers may get a case of déjà vu the next time they visit an airport lounge — are they waiting for a flight or having a night out at a high-end restaurant?
Designers are trying to kick it up a notch in the new breed of airport lounges.
It's important to give a luxury lounge some local flavor, helping drive home the point that you’re at your favorite watering hole and not the airport, said Ginger Gee DiFurio, design director at architecture firm Corgan. Her firm has designed luxury lounges at airports in Boston, New York and Charlotte, North Carolina.
"We seek inspiration from the architecture, art, culture, nature, and entertainment of the locale and incorporate these elements as part of the discovery process early in the design process,” DiFurio told CoStar News.
