The partnership which beat five other shortlisted entries

HMSHost opened the new, revamped and expanded Lounge 1 Food Court at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in Summer 2017. Given the growing importance of F&B within the airport environment and as a key part of the passenger experience, it was important to optimise and expand the existing offer.

Portland Design understood these vision and objectives and played a key role in helping HMSHost to create a place that enrich the dynamics of daily life at high traffic locations, with a welcoming location where passengers feel at home and where they find exactly what they need at that very moment.

F&B facilities and a pleasant environment are crucial to how travellers perceive their journey.

The new and improved food court offers an eclectic blend of brands (LEON, Burger King, La Place, Two Tigers and The Bar), inspired by the lively character of street food and market places. Although all F&B locations seamlessly fit the ambiance of the overall food court, every F&B location has a unique brand personality, offering selected dishes from different cuisines. The high-quality offering is fast, fresh and healthy.

"The open and transparent atmosphere, the diverse range of food items from healthy to indulgence, combined with the extended seating area ensure that travellers will enjoy Schiphol to the full before taking off.”
