Lufthansa Group builds luxurious lounge at Newark Airport

Skyline Bar at Lufthansa Lounge Newark
Lufthansa Group

Lufthansa Group’s premium lounge just debuted at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). Situated in Terminal B, the 6,370 sq. ft. space has three areas tailored to varying traveler needs, and culinary options that tap into local culture. Kitzig Design Studios of Germany planned the layout, while about 30 local companies helped complete the project. Here are the details of the $10 million lounge. 

Lufthansa’s Newark lounge: Work or relax in an elegant setting

The new lounge offers space for about 170 guests — about 25% more than the previous design. It’s open to First and Business class passengers on all Lufthansa Group airlines, including SWISS and Austrian Airlines. HON Circle members and Senators are awesome welcome. While inside, visitors can choose to work or unwind, with separate spaces catering to business meetings or low-key comfort. Topping it off are culinary options that draw from the Garden State’s local recipes.

Central to the lounge is the Skyline Bar, where natural wood and ambient lighting create the perfect place to unwind. Guests can enjoy craft beer, wine, cocktails, NA options, and more. The bistro offers regional fare like summertime sandwiches with bacon, trumpet mushrooms, lettuce, and tomato chutney on sourdough. For a classic Jersey snack, there’s cornbread with candied tomato jam. Additionally, First Class and HON Circle members enjoy an à la carte menu, along with select wines and champagnes.

The lounge features three separate areas. For business travelers, the first has functional communal tables with wireless charging and printing. Next, there’s an area for travelers to rest between flights, with seating for solo passengers or families. Lastly, multifunction rooms have space for children to play, meetings, or calls.

Victoria Schuster, Vice President Product & Customer Experience Lufthansa Airlines, commented: “We are proud to be able to present our guests in Newark with a new lounge that sets new standards. It offers private travelers cozy retreats for relaxation and our business customers generous workspaces. This lounge is a testament to our commitment to the customer as we strive to continually improve the experience for our guests, on the ground and in the air. That’s why we continue to invest in our offering around the world, whether in New Jersey or elsewhere, to meet Lufthansa’s premium standards and, above all, those of our guests.”

Savannah Beyond the Postcard
Take a look at one of the greatest southern cities from a different perspective.
Architecture, Building, Spire

Savannah is one of those cities that seems almost too easy to like. The live oaks are dramatic. The Spanish moss does exactly what it is supposed to do. The brick sidewalks buckle in all the right places. The houses look like they were designed by people who understood proportion, shade, and the value of a proper front step. Even the light seems to arrive with better manners than it does in most places.

I have a built-in advantage when it comes to Savannah. We have family there, so we have been back several times, not just once for the checklist version of the city. I have also done a photography workshop there, which is a terrific way to learn any city. You get up early, stay out late, and pay attention to alleys, doorways, ironwork, reflections, and the way a city changes when the tourists are still asleep.

I spent 72 hours in London with only a carry-on. Here’s how I did it in style
Luxury travel doesn't require a checked bag
London

Somewhere between the baggage claim carousel and the Elizabeth Line, I realized I'd already won. As passengers from my Norwegian flight to London crowded around the conveyor belt waiting for checked luggage to appear, I was already on my way into the city. Twenty minutes later, I was headed toward central London with nothing more than a carry-on suitcase and a backpack. I've become a bit of a carry-on evangelist over the past few years. Not because I'm trying to prove some minimalist point or because I enjoy seeing how few shirts I can survive with. I just genuinely think it's the better way to travel, especially for a long weekend in Europe.

My recent 72-hour trip from Copenhagen to London wasn't exactly a backpacker's itinerary. It included a stay at one of London's nicest luxury hotels, rooftop cocktails, dinners worth dressing up for, and plenty of walking through Soho, Covent Garden, and the rest of central London. Somehow, everything I needed fit inside my Travelpro Platinum Elite Slim Cabin Hardshell Spinner V2, with a backpack holding my flight essentials.

This New Montana Hotel Captures the Poetry of the Open Road

Corner, Home Decor, Bed

In case you need another excuse for a Montana getaway this summer, a quirky new boutique hotel has opened in Helena, the Treasure State's capital. The Bell Hotel occupies the site of the former Bell Motel, a classic 1950s roadside lodge thoughtfully reimagined by CWG Architecture. Each of its 14 rooms features locally made chocolates, coffee, and artwork. While in town, ask the front desk about the Bell's Picnic in the Park package. The hotel supplies a basket of local treats and a blanket; Montana provides the sublime scenery and glorious weather. You're on your own for companionship.
