The Loft
Brussels Airport , Belgium

Created to give travellers at Brussels Airport a genuinely different airport lounge experience, THE LOFT has been designed in close collaboration with LOUNGEXPERIENCES and GROHE, using a wealth of products to refresh, soothe and de-stress Brussels Airlines passengers. THE LOFT sees the original lounge doubled in size, with a harmonious design based on the Japanese tradition of omotenashi, or ‘the art of hospitality.’ Alongside private nap rooms and hot stone massage chairs, guests can enjoy a personal spa experience with GROHE. Six private shower rooms are fitted with GROHE’s state-of-the-art shower systems, including the AquaSymphony, offering steam, light and music as part of a therapeutic shower. GROHE Essence E touchless faucets and GROHE Arena Sensia shower toilets were chosen for the public toilets.

THE LOFT accommodates 500 guests and includes zones for working, relaxing and refuelling. The design incorporates the Belgian Art Nouveau theme with award winning art and design by Lexus. GROHE Red and Blue water systems supply travellers with instant kettle-hot water or chilled and sparkling filtered water direct from the faucet, a feature that saves 500,000 plastic bottles per year. Thanks to the above and several other innovative experiences, THE LOFT won the award of ‘Europe’s Leading Airport Lounge 2019’ by World Travel Awards in June 2019.
