The Louis Vuitton Lounge is a new culinary concept that’s deliciously stylish

Louis Vuitton has opened the doors to the “Louis Vuitton Lounge by Yannick Alleno” above its store in Qatar Duty Free at the Central Concourse of Hamad International Airport. Officially opened for business on 22 May 2023, this new space marks the ongoing collaboration between the three-star Michelin chef and the French Maison.

A destination for travellers to dine and relax ahead of their departures, the Lounge aligns with Louis Vuitton’s travel heritage while bolstering its ongoing culinary explorations. It is open 24/7 and is accessible from the Al Mourjan Business Lounge – The Garden at the HIA expansion as well.

Look Up There!

Stepping into the Lounge takes you into a contemporary, tropical setting bathed in soft light where emblematic Louis Vuitton elements such as stacked trunks are surrounded by lush greenery with atelier oi’s colourful Quetzal bird creations overhead creating a colourful backdrop.

Sophisticated and inviting all at once, seating arrangements are interspersed with the Maison’s designer edition pieces including India Mahdavi low tables, Paola Lenti high tables, Costela armchairs by Martin Eisler. Among the Objets Nomades is the Cosmic Table by Raw Edges and Bell Lamps by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby.

On top of that, Vibrant twist glasses by Studio Louis Vuitton, stand out as part of the Maison’s art de la table universe. For the restaurant, Yannick Alleno has developed a “multilingual” concept that will satisfy and delight a wide range of visitors through all times of the day ensuring everyone feels welcome at the Lounge.

Three Michelin Stars

The world-renowned chef, whose Alleno Paris at the Pavillon Ledoyen and Le 1947 at Cheval Blanc Courchevel both received three Michelin stars, took a contemporary approach to the expansive menu. As such, the restaurant offers specialties that highlight local ingredients, French favourites and international fare, and more.

From breakfast through brunch, Parisian viennoiseries and local baked goods are complemented by hot sandwiches and eggs, smoked fish platters, caviar and indulgent pastries. Alleno, concludes by saying, “The menu is complex because, above all, it should please everyone.”
