QATAR Airways' (QA) exclusive Al Safwa First Lounge at Hamad International Airport (HIA) received the prestigious Seven-Star First Class Lounge Award at the Seven Stars Luxury Hospitality and Lifestyle awards ceremony in Marbella, Spain, recently.
Famed as the 'Oscars of Luxury', the organisation separates the exceptional hospitality and lifestyle brands from the very best with the bestowing of the Signum Virtutis, translated to Seal of Excellence. QAs' Al Safwa First Lounge becomes the world's first lounge to be presented with the special award and joins an elite class of establishments awarded the Seal of Excellence.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar al Baker said:"We are very proud to receive this prestigious seven-star award for our Al Safwa First Lounge. Qatar Airways is truly committed to creating the very best travel experiences, both in the air and on the ground, and this exclusive Seal of Excellence for the Seven-Star First Class Lounge Award exemplifies the tireless effort that continually goes into the detail of service delivery and design to form the ultimate luxury experience that we provide our customers."
Inspired by Doha's Museum of Islamic Art, QAs' Al Safwa First Lounge features a number of Islamic fine art installations and artefacts on loan from Doha's national museum as part of a continuous partnership.
Passengers can also enjoy a la carte dining, a full business centre, a luxury spa, a cinematic media or games room and a dedicated family area. Private rooms featuring a bed, TV, desk and private bathroom with a shower are available, or guests may relax in one of the many luxurious spaces available throughout the expansive lounge while experiencing Qatar's warm Arabian hospitality.
Qatar Airways Senior Vice President of Customer Experience, Rossen Dimitrov, said:"To be awarded the Seven-Star First Class Lounge Award and to receive the Seal of Excellence is an incredible honour, and is testament to the commitment every Qatar Airways employee brings to creating memorable travel experiences for our customers."
QAs' Al Safwa First Lounge is available to passengers travelling in the airline's First Class on its premier fleet of A380 aircraft.
