First stone of KLM’s new lounge at Schiphol
Also today a special guest will join Camiel Eurlings and Jos Nijhuis, CEO of the Schiphol Group, in laying the first stone of the new KLM World Business Class Lounge for intercontinental passengers at Schiphol.
By developing this new lounge, KLM fulfils the wishes of its passengers, who want comfort, rest, relaxation and entertainment. These requirements will be met in separate areas, each with their own unique atmosphere and furnishings, reflecting KLM’s “Journey of Inspiration” concept. Dutch Design is a key element of the lounge’s look and feel. The new design was developed in cooperation with the Amsterdam architectural agency Concrete, which also designed the W Hotel in London, the Citizen M Hotels, and the Supper Clubs. The new lounge will open in 2016.
Presentation of KLM’s 95th Delftware miniature
KLM has the tradition of presenting a new Delftware miniature house on its anniversary each year. These little houses are an exclusive gift for World Business Class passengers and have become a popular collector’s item. The 95th miniature will be festively presented at a surprising and spectacular event in AMS.
