Emirates opens VIP Lounge at Real

Emirates on Saturday opened its exclusive branded VIP Lounge at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium – coinciding with the match between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.

Unveiled less than four months after signing the five-year shirt sponsorship with Real, the new lounge was officially opened by Emilio Butragueño who is the club’s Institutional Relations Manager and a former player. He did that in company with Emirates’ Manager Spain and Portugal, Fernando Suárez De Góngora.

Covering an area of 375sqm, the innovatively designed space can comfortably host more than 200 guests during match days. The bespoke design is modelled after the cabin of a Boeing 777 – the same aircraft currently serving the route between Madrid and Dubai.

The lounge will be open to its invited guests an hour before and after matches and is situated just below the VIP boxes from where guests can enjoy matches with an unparalleled view of the pitch and stadium.

Gongora said, “The Emirates VIP lounge is yet another milestone in the partnership between Emirates and Real Madrid, and highlights the immense value we see in our relationship with the club and with Spain.”
