Manchester airport lounge now fit for royalty

2 Aug 2011 by BusinessTraveller

Manchester airport has refurbished its Royal Lounge for the first time in nearly a decade, following Prince William and Kate’s move to Anglesey in north Wales.

The airport has spent £20,000 renovating the lounge, in the hope that the royal couple will opt to use the facility, located around 100 miles from Prince William’s RAF base at Anglesey.

The refurbished lounge features new furniture, plasma screen TVs, a faux fireplace, and prints of LS Lowry’s works.

The lounge was last refrubished in 2002, and has welcomed heads of state and VIPs including Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama. Its exact location is kept secret, and the lounge is subject to police security checks before each use.
