New premium lounge delivers a host of traveler amenities – rest, relax and replenish zones to private workspaces
CLEVELAND – Travelers at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport can step into a relaxed private club setting to get work done, enjoy complimentary food and drink or unwind before takeoff with the arrival of The Club CLE. The premium lounge, located at the entrance of Concourse B, offers an inviting ambiance with natural lighting, views of the airfield and amenities that enhance the airport experience. CLE joins a rapidly growing network of the U.S. market-leading lounge brand, The Club.
The Club CLE was launched by Airport Dimensions, the global leader in airport lounges and travel experiences, in partnership with Cleveland-based FLŌH vodka, an Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE). FLŌH is the brainchild of local entrepreneur Jacques Evans, its CEO. The collaboration brings a stylish FLŌH-branded bar as a focal point and a drinks menu featuring hand-crafted, small-batch, allergen-free, and Kosher Seal certified vodka.
Airport officials and guests gathered at an open house ceremony, tasting, and tour to mark the much-anticipated opening of The Club CLE. "We are delighted to welcome The Club CLE to the airport officially," said Tina LaForte, vice president of Fraport Cleveland, developer and manager of the airport's retail concessions program. "The early response by our guests has exceeded our expectations. Clevelanders are welcoming this new amenity and seek out The Club during their visit at the airport," she added. "It offers the ultimate in comfort and convenience."
For a flat day rate of $45, guests have access to The Club's signature designated zones to "Rest, Relax, and Replenish." The premium lounge spans 2,000 square feet of space and provides flexible seating and workspaces with complimentary high-speed wi-fi, all-day food and drink offerings, and hospitality services. Menu items range from breakfast to all-day specialties like tomato basil soup, ginger chicken and jasmine rice bowl, and blueberry cobbler. Specialty cocktails include the Flohberry Rosemary Mule and Harvest Whisky Crush. Hours are 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Passes can be purchased online or upon arrival.

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
