announcement was made at the Caribbean & The Americas Gala Ceremony held on
4 October 2025 on the island of Saint Lucia.
A benchmark for excellence in travel comfort
Commenting on the accolade, Theo Panagiotoulias, CEO
of Star Alliance, said:
“Our commitment at Star Alliance is to create seamless
and connected journeys for travellers, and our lounges play an important role
in this. This recognition is especially meaningful, reflecting the trust of
travellers and industry experts and the continued excellence of the LAX lounge.
We’re proud to see it honoured as a leader year after year.”
He added:
“This achievement is thanks to the dedicated team
whose hard work keeps the LAX lounge running smoothly every day, and to our
member airlines whose collaboration has been instrumental to its success.”
A signature space at Los Angeles International Airport
Renowned as one of the world’s top airport lounges,
the Star Alliance LAX Lounge offers a distinctive blend of comfort,
functionality and California style. Spanning 18,000 square feet, it features an
outdoor terrace with firepits, a tranquil water wall, and panoramic views of
the Hollywood Hills. The lounge transitions seamlessly from a bright, relaxed
daytime atmosphere to a sophisticated evening setting, giving guests a unique
space to dine, work or unwind before their flight.
Recognised for global excellence

excellence across travel, tourism and hospitality. Recognised as one of the
industry’s most prestigious honours, the awards highlight organisations that
consistently set new benchmarks for quality and innovation.
