Stakeholders from LaGuardia International Airport (LGA) Terminal B operator LaGuardia Gateway Partners (LGP) gathered recently to celebrate the opening of a new Capital One Landing lounge. The 12,500-square-foot space, created in collaboration with José Andrés and José Andrés Group, features floor-to-ceiling windows; a 30-foot hand-painted mural by New York-based artist Amrita Marino; and a Spanish-inspired menu with tapas, cocktails, Spanish wines, local beers, and premium coffee and tea, as well as fare from Capital One’s signature Daily Rituals carts.
“With the opening of Capital One Landing, Terminal B continues to push the boundaries of the traditional airport experience,” said Omri Gainsburg, North American COO of Meridiam and LGP board chair. “This is yet another example of our never-ending efforts to innovate and expand our offerings in order to deliver the exceptional guest experience passengers have come to expect while traveling through Terminal B.”
“Terminal B continues to set a higher standard for modern airport travel, and Capital One Landing reflects that ongoing progress,” added Stewart Steeves, COO of Vantage Group and LGP board member. “Across Vantage Group’s network of airports and transportation centers, we are committed to offering guests a broad range of choices for comfort and convenience. Capital One Landing further rounds out the award-winning experience at Terminal B, giving travelers another exceptional space to enjoy before they fly.”
“At Terminal B, we’re reimagining the airport as more than just a travel hub – it’s a hospitality driven experience,” said Suzette Noble, CEO of LGP. “The Capital One Landing embodies this vision, offering an elevated, inclusive and inviting space to relax, dine, and enjoy the terminal. We’re thrilled to house the flagship location here at Terminal B and continue to redefine what it means to spend time at the airport.”
“Ever since opening more than five years ago, LaGuardia Airport’s new Terminal B has been internationally recognized for delivering a world-class passenger experience, including two 5-star ratings from Skytrax,” said Anthony Vero, LGA general manager. “The addition of the new Capital One Landing in collaboration with world-renowned José Andrés Group shows that our partners at Terminal B are not resting on their laurels, but that they will continue to provide a best-in-class travel experience well into the future.”
