Following the news in November that Plaza Premium had opened its first site within Heathrow T5 (completing a Heathrow flush, with lounges already present in the other three operational terminals), the titan of independent airport lounges has now unveiled its latest location – Rome Fiumicino-Leonardo da Vinci International Airport.
Located within Terminal 3 (Area E), alongside the extra Schengen departures area on the upper level of of the airport, the independent lounge is open to all travellers whether they are economy or business class fliers and irrespective of airline. And at 1,000 square metres, the space is the group’s biggest lounge in Europe!
Open 24 hours a day, the space is finished with polished marble and striking column pillars, in a design reminiscent of classical Rome, to add a sense of place and to reflect local history and culture. Once ensconced, guests can sink into the comfortable honeycomb seating and enjoy a range of tasty morsels from the lounge’s live cooking stations or peruse the Plaza buffet and bar.

Amenities available include complimentary Wi-Fi, an extensive digital reading library, TV channels plus ample recharging stations for all electronic devices, not to mention the six shower rooms – the first of their kind in Fiumicino Airport.
