The Airport Lounge Food & Beverage Offering of the Year category represents a showcase for hospitality in a fast-growing sector of the business.

The overall winner (and regional winner for Americas & Caribbean), Chase Sapphire Lounge at LaGuardia Airport, offers lessons for F&B at other airport lounges with its close collaboration with local food suppliers, its many healthy alternatives and its catering to a broad range of dietary needs. It also features food cooked to order, supported by great tech, all part of an elevated experience in the much-acclaimed lounge itself.

The Asia Pacific regional award went to Global Lounge by SSP Malaysia & ARAYA (Travel Food Services) at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

This is a well-tailored, locally themed food offer that evokes the best of culinary delights in the vibrant Malaysian market.

In Middle East & Africa judges saluted the game-changing Louis Vuitton Lounge by Yannick Alléno at Hamad International Airport.

The concept excels across design and ambience, menu and food quality with the wow factor that this fusion of a great luxury name, an outstanding chef and a magnificent airport represents.

The Highly Commended SKY The Lounge at Las Américas International Airport features a strong chef-led approach, an enviable attention to menu detail and localisation of the food offer.
