But I don’t think I’d shell out that kind of cash. You’re mostly just paying for the Louis Vuitton name at that point.

Laughable.

I spent about six hours at the Garden lounge last week in between QR flights, and during that time, I did not see a single passenger making use of the LV lounge. It’s not hard to see why — why pay a premium for food and drinks (sometimes steep!) when there is no shortage of good food and drink options (and seating areas) for free in the Garden lounge?

I agree with Sam that this lounge might have a better chance of success if it were opened up to all passengers, not just those who can flow through the Garden lounge. Indeed, the LV lounge might find more use from passengers who don’t have lounge access at all than those who already have access to the complimentary offerings at the Garden (or the original Al Mourjan, or another lounge). And, if the idea is to create a flashy, designer-branded, high-end lounge within a lounge to cater to those who either want to pay a premium for what LV offers or want to burnish their image as connoisseurs of such a lounge, maybe LV should have placed this lounge within the Al Safwa lounge, rather than one of the Al Mourjan lounges.
