The Delta One Lounge is a high-end interior tenant improvement, meticulously designed to provide guests with a luxurious and intimate experience. The space includes stone walls, custom millwork cabinets, bench seating, and backlit mirrors. The lounge also features a high-end bar with backlit stone, an antiqued mirror back bar with custom shelving, and a fluted stone façade front bar with a custom drink rail. Each area of the lounge is crafted to offer a unique ambiance, with bespoke materials and finishes.
Building within an active airport environment presented multiple layers of complexity. The project team navigated strict regulatory requirements, including dual inspections from both LAWA (airport) and city inspectors.
The installation of intricate design elements required innovative approaches. Custom metal rods for a decorative divider needed specialized fabrication techniques, while the integration of multiple finish materials—metal, stone and millwork—demanded precise coordination. The team created several full-scale mock-ups, including complete bar sections and reception areas, ensuring perfect execution of the design vision.
Completed in April 2025, this high-profile expansion more than doubled the size of the original Polaris Lounge Clune delivered in 2016. Now spanning nearly 25,000 square feet, the reimagined lounge offers international business-class travelers a premium pre-flight experience, featuring a 50-seat private dining room, speakeasy-style bar, wellness amenities and quiet zones.
