Qatar opens Paris CDG lounge

Qatar Airways has opened its latest Business and First lounge at Paris CDG.

The new Qatar Airways Paris CDG Business Class lounge is a large light bright lounge, located in Terminal 1 at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport.

It is the third international lounge for Qatar, after London Heathrow and Dubai, and has a modern look and feel.

The combined business class and first class lounge at Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport has seating for more than 200 guests over 1,000 square metres.

As you enter there is a welcome lounge around a fountain, with seats curved around the central water feature rather like a hotel lobby.

The Qatar Paris lounge is one of the rare lounges with outside space. It has two roof terraces from which passengers can spot the Eiffel Tower (one for smoking).

There is a sit-down a la carte restaurant, and a brasserie and deli for pre-flight snacking if you prefer a less formal meal.

There is also a fully-stocked bar around the curved central space, with dining nooks among the blue padded walls at the sides, and a barista coffee station for the early morning flights.

There are full shower facilities, and both male and female prayer rooms.

A small computer room has Mac computers and there is wireless Internet access available throughout.

Qatar airways has three daily flights from Paris CDG to Doha.
