Qatar Airways has opened its new Premium Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport at Terminal 1. The new Singapore lounge serves as the benchmark and blueprint for Qatar Airways’ future Premium Lounges worldwide. Featuring an ultra-luxurious interior and enhanced offerings, the new Premium Lounge aims to narrow the gap between business and first class lounges.
Spanning approximately 700 square metres to accommodate over 85 passengers at once, the Premium Lounge operates daily from 7:30 am to 2:00 am, offering Qatar Airways Business Class passengers a sophisticated environment with contemporary Arabic design elements.

The grand entrance showcases Qatar Airways’ signature “Marhaba” engraved stand-stone wall with a luxurious display of fresh white orchids. A botanical patterned wall inspired by Singapore’s affinity to horticulture and greenery is also added for a local touch.
Thoughtfully planned for different travellers’ needs, the lounge features seven different seating areas including the Principal Lounge, Quiet Pods, Garden Bistro, High Seating, Martini Bar, Brasserie and Private Lounge.
Catering to a premium culinary standard, the lounge is equipped with a full kitchen for freshly-prepared à la carte food orders on demand, on top of an existing buffet spread offering an international menu. A dedicated mixologist is also available at the centrepiece Martini Bar, offering mocktail and cocktail options to complete the five-star lounge experience.
Guests wishing to relax in a quiet environment can occupy one of the five Quiet Pods, which offer a cosy, semi-private space equipped with soundproofing, reading lights, a coat hanger and universal charging points.

“Qatar Airways has already set one industry benchmark with our award-winning Business Class seat, Qsuite, now we are redefining the new standard for business class lounges,” says Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker. “We want to ensure that the on ground experience offered to our passengers matches our iconic five-star airline experience. As the first Qatar Airways lounge following this design concept, it will serve as a new standard for all our Premium Lounges going forward.”
Qatar Airways has a growing portfolio of Premium Lounges in key markets. These exclusive Arabic-inspired lounges are located in London, United Kingdom, Paris, France, Beirut, Lebanon, and Bangkok, Thailand.
The award-winning airline currently operates its state-of-the-art Airbus A350-1000 aircraft on its Singapore route. With three daily flights between Singapore and Doha, the advanced aircraft offers 327 seats across two cabins – 46 Qsuite Business Class seats and 281 extra-wide 18-inch seats in Economy Class.
