Eurostar to close Brussels-Midi lounge for refurb

16 Jul 2014 by GrahamSmith

Eurostar is closing its business lounge at Brussels-Midi on August 2 in order to carry out refurbishment works.

The overhaul, which is set to complete in October, will result in the lounge having increased seating capacity, improved wifi connectivity and upgraded lighting that will "subtly change in tone throughout the day".

During the closure, Business Premier passengers and Eurostar Frequent Traveller carte blanche holders can visit the general information desk in the Eurostar departure lounge to pick up vouchers for wifi and a drink at the Coffee Club cafe, make taki bookings and collect free newspapers and magazines.

Mikaël Lemarchand, Eurostar's director of stations, said: "The transformation of our business lounge facilities in Brussels-Midi station is the latest phase of our ambitious plan to overhaul our passenger terminals.

"We want to offer our customers a seamless journey whether on our core routes or connecting journeys and the works will see improvements to facilities and an increase in capacity alongside a fresh, new look and feel."

Eurostar completed its new ticket office area at St Pancras International earlier this month and has started work at Lille Europe station to increase capacity.

In January, Eurostar introduced through-tickets to six German cities after signing a deal with Deutsche Bahn (see news, January 31).
