Virgin Atlantic unveils its revamped lounge at Heathrow – with new cinema, work pods and SPA

Virgin Atlantichas unveiled its newly refurbished Clubhouse atLondonHeathrow – now fitted with a cinema area, VIP space, and a spa offering a curated selection of treatments.

As part of the first phase of a major redesign, Upper Class customers can enjoy an enhanced experience on the ground with the addition of plush amenities and bespoke services.

First launched in the airline'sLos AngelesClubhouse, the London hub will feature a newly-installed Royal Box area, which delivers a theatrical take on the VIP experience.

Designed to offer 'the best seats in the house', the invite-only space provides a hideaway from the wider lounge with clear views of the runway.

The private area features suede-lined sofas dressed in Virgin's signature red, and a 'Cabinet of Curiosities' at its centre – abespoke table of indulgent sweet treats and champagne moments.

The Clubhouse has also introduced two dedicated Work Pod studios.

Each space will feature integrated power and a sleek, modern desk setup, as well as 'on air' signs that light up when the pod is occupied, and studio-inspired artwork, including framed vinyl records, in a nod to Virgin Records.

Meanwhile, the Gallery, the most in-demand space in the Clubhouse, has been redesigned to maximise space and enhance its panoramic runway views.

A new Royal Box VIP area offers respite from the wider lounge area, featuring plush red sofas and a 'Cabinet of Curiosities'

It now boasts a range of seating options to allow for more guests, with specific areas geared towards business travellers, groups and couples.

Drawing inspiration from Vivienne Westwood's uniform  and London's transport heritage, the space features warm brass tailfin accents and pops of livery red.

Warm custom lighting adds to the atmosphere, integrated plants provide a freshness, and a curated collation of colourful, commissioned artworks by UK-based artists line the walls.

Integrated power and discreet baggage storage ensure the space remains both practical and streamlined.

Inspired by London's members' clubs and private screening rooms nestled in Soho, The Cinema has also been reimagined as an intimate, immersive space to switch off and unwind.

The area will feature enhanced sound quality with its acoustic wall panes, upgraded seating of royal blue armchairs and spacious red sofas, and now includes integrated charging points, TV access and Bluetooth headphones.

For guests seeking a moment of wellbeing before taking to the skies, the Clubhouse has introduced two new pop-up wellness experiences.
