As part of a very active week in Zurich, SWISS not only welcomed home their first 777 (more on that this weekend), they also opened the doors to 3 new lounges in Concourse ‘E’.    The new additions include First, Senator, and Business Class Lounges.    I’ll cover each lounge separately since there are a lot of photos that show them off.   A big thanks to Ralf (RCS on VielFliegerTreff.com) for sharing the photos that he took during his visit.  In fact, if you visit that link, you’ll see more photos that Ralf had uploaded to the thread covering the new lounges.

From the looks of it, SWISS hit a home run with the First Class lounge.    Some of the highlights include 2 dedicated ‘Hotel Rooms’ and a wine collection of over 1,000 bottles.    The lounge also offers an impressive outdoor terrace that can be enjoyed when weather allows.    A dedicated a-la-carte dining room completes the fantastic presentation.

The lounge is approximate 8,000 square feet and can comfortably accommodate 80 guests.   Of course you need to be flying in First Class on a Lufthansa Group operated flight or ‘simply’ be a HON Circle member or a lucky guest of one.

Enjoy the photos, this will not be an easy lounge to get into! 🙂
