Each product carries the passion and uniqueness of the artisans, just like the service at Lotus Lounge.
Lotus Lounge is like a masterpiece of Vietnamese craftsmanship, guiding passengers in a journey to discover the authentic culture of Vietnam – from the concept, architecture, materials and decorative details, to the exclusive mark of talented artisans hidden in each experience, altogether providing world-class service. The image of the Lotus flower - symbol of nobility, purity and the strong aspiration to rise of Vietnam's national airline, reflecting luxury and delicacy throughout the lounge space.
