Copenhagen Airport (CPH) has welcomed the opening of Menzies Aviation’s refurbished Pearl Lounge. The Copenhagen refurbishment forms part of Menzies Aviation’s global Pearl Lounge transformation project, a multi-year initiative designed to elevate the look, feel and functionality of its premium lounge portfolio worldwide. The programme focuses on upgrading facilities, embedding local design elements and delivering a consistently high-quality passenger experience, while supporting Menzies’ long-term growth ambitions in the premium hospitality space.
At Copenhagen Airport, Menzies has invested €2.7 million to reimagine the Pearl Lounge, enhancing the passenger experience while reflecting the local character and expectations of the Nordic market. The three-month refurbishment is now complete.
“The upgraded lounge sets a new benchmark for a true premium experience and is fully aligned with CPH’s strategy of delighting passengers across every touchpoint of their journey,” said Peter Krogsgaard, Chief Commercial Officer, Copenhagen Airport. “We also appreciate the strong collaboration throughout the development process and value our longstanding partnership with Menzies Aviation in bringing this vision to life.”
Located in the departures terminal at the top of gates C after passport control, the new Pearl Lounge offers passengers a premium space to relax, work and refresh. Spanning 800sqm and accommodating more than 180 guests, it is the largest lounge in Pearl’s global network.
The refurbished lounge reflects a distinctly Danish aesthetic, drawing inspiration from Nordic design principles and local culture. Clean lines, natural materials and an emphasis on light and openness create a calm, contemporary space with a strong sense of place, while retaining the comfort and quality associated with the Pearl Lounge brand.
Guests have access to complimentary WiFi, alongside a range of dedicated zones including seating and dining areas, a buffet station, quiet and relaxation spaces, shower facilities, workstations and a private business room for meetings and small gatherings.
The food and beverage offering has also been upgraded, with a selection of locally inspired hot and cold dishes, a salad bar, vegan and gluten‑free options, and local wines and draft beers. Pearl’s premium hospitality concept is aligned with Menzies Aviation’s ‘All In’ sustainability strategy, with a focus on reducing waste and prioritising local suppliers and brands to help minimise transport‑related emissions.
The Pearl Lounge at Copenhagen Airport is open to Business Class passengers and eligible loyalty programme members, including Priority Pass, LoungeKey and DragonPass holders. Walk‑in access is also available (including group offers), subject to availability.
“Copenhagen Airport is a strategically important location within our European network, and refurbishing of our flagship Pearl Lounge forms part of our global lounge transformation project,” said Jo Harrison, Senior Vice President Pearl Lounge Transformation, Menzies Aviation. “Through targeted investment at Copenhagen and close collaboration with our airport partners, we have created a premium space that reflects the character of the destination while delivering the consistent comfort and quality our Pearl Lounge brand is known for. We are pleased to offer passengers a premium space that supports both business and leisure travel.”
