The elegantly refurbished lounge boasts a stylish modern design, with substantial upgrades to flooring, lighting and furnishings. Workspaces have been reimagined with the addition of chain curtains to enhance zoning and privacy.

In the Business area of the lounge, highlights include two private phone booths with upgraded wall panels for better acoustics.

The Senator section of the lounge has also seen significant improvements, with redesigned workspaces, enhanced seating and a new locally inspired design of elements and decoration.
 
Sven Thaler, Senior Director Sales Northern Europe said: “We are delighted to reopen our refurbished lounge in a prime location just after the security checkpoint.

"As the second largest airline group at Heathrow with more than 360 weekly Lufthansa Group flights, we are committed to investing in our premium customer experience and our long-term presence in Heathrow Terminal 2. We welcome our valued customers to enjoy the enhanced lounge experience.”


 
From today, the lounge will open daily from 04:15 – 22:00, offering space for up to 350 guests across 1,600 square metres – making it the largest Lufthansa lounge outside of Germany in both capacity and size.

In addition to the renovations, guests can enjoy a comfortable blend of work and relaxation, with Lufthansa staff on hand daily to assist with any requests. The lounge also features a variety of amenities, including a buffet, complimentary newspapers, wifi, printer, photocopier, TV, lockers and panoramic views of the runway.
