How is the exec. lounge?
The lounge is temporarily located on the lobby mezzanine.
Excellent service and very good food offer.
Seating area over the lobby. Dining area in the back with (partial) view over Harbour.
Check-in/out area and meeting room are on the first floor in another area.
Dining area.
The staff are really charming, attentive and very efficient: orders are served remarkably quickly, despite the large number of guests, and always with a smile.
I was a little sceptical about the club's temporary location on the mezzanine, particularly in terms of noise. But in fact the club is pleasant: it is quiet during breakfast and afternoon tea.
And it's lively in the evenings, even if it's quieter on the Harbour side. In the evening, I find the lively atmosphere of the Publicis Drugstore on the Champ Élysées (which I like very much) or Barcelona’s Flash Flash restaurant.
What was good and what was bad?
