The much-anticipated Qantas First Lounges are now open at Sydney and Melbourne international airports, and have recently been awarded Best Lounge In The Worlde by Skytrax.

Designed by Internationally renowned Qantas Creative Director Marc Newson, the Lounges are exceptional retreats offering unsurpassed levels of comfort, service and luxury. They both feature a restaurant and chair-side dining with menus created by Neil Perry, spa treatment rooms and showes, a libarary, business facilities and a concierge service.

The lounge is designed to luxurious perfection by Newson from huge American oak sculptures that separate the lounge space into defined areas, the deep red, black and brown leather lounge chairs, recliners and sofas are by Italy's Poltrana Frau. to the individual marble-lined shower suites with stereo volume and lighting controls, radiant heating to reduce condensation on the mirrors and luggage racks.

There are also state-of-the-art business facilities with 11 PC workstations, complimentary wireless internet access, power and data points throughout the lounge and two private work suites with conference facilities and plasma display screens.

Dining chairs and tables are by Cappellini, Tai Ping wool carpets are from Hong Kong, marble from Carrara and quartzite from Switzerland. As Newson says they're all his contacts and they're "the best contacts in the industry".
