All Star Alliance-branded lounges are designed to provide a unique local experience. In Amsterdam, design work was done with D-Dock, an Amsterdam-based architectural design firm.

Star Alliance infuses the local essence of Amsterdam into the new lounge. The elegant and contemporary design is inspired by the ever-changing Dutch skies and landscapes, and features furniture creations and decoration pieces of original Dutch design.
