We finally found a pic... thanks to an eagle eyed reader who tipped us off!

What do you think?

It looks 100% better in person.

It's all a bit confused really design wise, as though Jeeves and Wooster have raided Ikea

So EuroKick - give us the low down. What did you think?

The guy on twitter that posted the pic didn't seem terribly impressed.

Full tweet also less than +ve.
Rude & disappointing treatment at Virgin's SYD lounge/the club tonight @VirginAustralia, esp as plat ff!

so does this mean "The Club" has opened ???
Access rules???

 

[haydensydney]

I saw that moa999 - maybe plats are getting in a-la QF J lounge?

If you don't know the access rules... then you don't need to know the access rules.

I'm really interested to see the bar / food area - hopefully they've done away with the sandwich bar lol!

Not really my style. But perhaps it's just not a great angle to judge from... and i don't think i'm the target audience anyway somehow

Hard to tell from one picture..

But my favourite lounges in Australia are the QF CBR J and QP ones

Looks like an old gentlemens club to be honest. Maybe its supposed to look like that, but I'm underwhelmed. Not thatnI'd qualify anyway. Truly I thought they'd have something really innovative and beautiful. Mind you, its pretty much on a par with the photo's of the CL I've seen online.

You mean it is on a par with this:

Because I think this isn't on a par...

Obviously we haven't seen good photos of VA's the club...

Maybe Luke Mangan designed the fitout?

His name would be scrawled over everything if that was the case!

 

[Justchecking]

On a par in terms of lack of aesthetic appeal to me? Yes. I don't find either if those spaces inspiring or appealing in the least. Whether or not you think the fitout quality is the same. Thats debatable but then we have one coughpy iPhone pic to compare to a professional photo. You really can't make that determination based on those pics.

Remember that this is just one snapshot and the rest of the lounge could look quite spectacular... I'm trawling the net trying to locate more pics and will post when I find them

we have one coughpy iPhone pic .

The shooter could have at least iNstagrammed it for us.

I'm also concerned with the 'boys club' asthetic. Where are the pastels? Where is the nod to our Chairwomen? Patriarchy rules, as usual.
