Top Amenities Meet Regional Flair in This Bahrain Airport<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Talk about two for one. The refined New York firm spearheaded by Interior Design<\/em> Hall of Fame member Alexandra Champalimaud<\/a> was invited by Australian travel specialist firm Tony Masters Design<\/a> to partner on an airport lounge competition entry. The 29,000-square-foot, 10-room Pearl Lounge in the new billion-dollar Bahrain International Airport terminal \u201cis different in that it\u2019s not branded to a particular airline, but rather to the country,\u201d Champalimaud Design CEO Ed Bakos says. \u201cWe applied traditional concepts of Arabic hospitality to a series of intimate spaces including a caf\u00e9, a bar, and an \u00e0 la carte restaurant.\u201d The amenities of a five-star hotel dovetail with nuances of regional hospitality: Rosewood and gold-plated details pair with cozy wingback chairs, while snakelike sofas emulate traditional majlis seating areas, helping to facilitate a natural flow of foot traffic. Of course, all 450 seats include smartphone charging ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
