It was 25 years ago when the
first Plaza Premium Lounge opened at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
The Plaza Premium Group (PPG) has since come a full circle, proudly unveiling
its spanking new Plaza Premium Lounge & Plaza Premium First at KLIA
Terminal 1.
Officially opened by Minister of
Transport, YB Anthony Loke amidst much fanfare, the new lounges incorporate Plaza
Premium First and the Plaza Premium Lounge.
Available to business and leisure
travellers, the tastefully designed lounges feature dedicated relaxation, socialising,
dining and ‘work from anywhere’ spaces including private rooms for families or
corporate use.
Song Hoi-See, PPG’s CEO and
Founder said: “We founded the independent lounge concept 25 years ago in
Malaysia. We’ve have since expanded our concept to over 70 international
airports, and in conjunction with our 25th anniversary, we’ve returned to our
roots and revisited the whole lounge experience.
“This launch is a testament to PPG’s
growth in 2023 and beyond. Committed to “Make Travel Better”, we aim to
transform Plaza Premium Lounge into a pre-flight space and also as a
destination in its own right, in all the countries we operate in. We want to bring
Malaysian culture to the forefront, where guests can visit us and discover
something new every time.”
The interior design of both Plaza
Premium Lounge and Plaza Premium First pays homage to Malaysia’s art forms and its
natural landscape. A rainforest tree serves as the focal point within the
space, bestowing a touch of green for guests. Batik elements are incorporated
into the lounge seating whilst dividing panels feature rattan-weaving patterns.
In collaboration with Art People
Gallery, curated artworks from nine local, emerging artists are showcased
throughout the two lounges, giving guests insights into the culture and
traditions of Malaysia. At the entrance, an expansive art mural depicts Malaysia’s
past, present and future.
Chef de Cuisine Andri Hadi is tasked with creating an a la carte menu for Plaza Premium First where dishes are cooked a la minute, while Plaza Premium Lounge’s offers a buffet menu.
Known for his
elevated fusion creations, Chef Andri’s signature dishes include Nasi Lemak
with Australian Beef Rendang for Plaza Premium First and Malaysia Curry Laksa
for Plaza Premium Lounge. A refreshed menu featuring plant-based and vegetarian options will also be
offered in its bid to promote sustainability and wellness.
