klm crown lounge

The entrance of the lounge is a two-storey high, dutch house offering the traveller a stunning view over the runways. It contains a welcome desk which, together with four light globe pendants and light sculpture in the shape of the crown, form a giant abstraction of the KLM logo.

The house is reached by two escalators surrounded by walls made of a spectacular collection of 5000 of the famous KLM Delft blue houses (collectables).

The polder is a spacious seating area based on a typical Dutch landscape, with straight lines kept in natural colours of polder green. Large seating islands, the polder benches, with integrated real green divides the polder into more intimate areas to relax, work, snack and dream. A gigantic light wall forms the back wall of the Polder, simulating the everchanging Dutch sky. In front of the light wall runs ‘the street’, a sequence of trees in one line, typically found in the streets of Amsterdam, with high seating attached to each of them.

A theatrical, multi-tiered oak staircase connecting the first and second floors. This vertical landscape serves as a platform for lingering, complete with a screening valley on the reverse side, a hidden copper-grilled smoking room, and a DJ booth at its peak.

The most remote and relaxed area in the lounge. It celebrates the Dutch coast with custom EGE carpet tiles in deep sea-blue tones, relaxed polder benches, and chromed ball-chain curtains that offer travelers private, silent workspaces to unwind.
