Raymond BlancEurostar, the high-speed rail service linking the UK and mainland Europe, has opened the doors to its new Business Premier lounge in Paris Gare du Nord.
Designed by global architects, Softroom, the Paris lounge is situated on the top floor of the original 19th century building, and featuring high ceilings, marble fireplaces, and a cocktail bar.
The lounge is equipped with complimentary wifi, USB sockets and wireless chargers.
To enhance the overall experience, the lounge also features a range of contemporary art, curated by the Hospital Club in London, showcasing French artists. Travellers will be able to admire the artworks on display and for those keen to take a piece of Paris back to London, the art will be on sale.
Michelin star chef and Eurostar Business Premier Culinary Director, Raymond Blanc OBE, has worked closely with the catering team to advise on seasonal dishes that combine the best of British and French cuisine. Raymond has even designed a bespoke tea exclusively for the lounge created by Tregothnan, Britain’s first and only tea producer.
Nicolas Petrovic, Chief Executive, Eurostar, said: “The opening of the new business lounge in Paris is part of a wide-reaching programme of investment in our stations and our service. With its elegant design, calm environment and digital connectivity, the lounge will provide an unrivalled level of style and comfort for our business customers.”
