Aspire Executive Lounges & American Express Open Co-Branded Lounge at YUL

Swissport’s hospitality brand, Aspire Executive Lounges, has opened its latest airport lounge at YUL Montreal-Trudeau International Airport, in partnership with American Express. 

This marks the first common-use lounge to open in the airport’s domestic jetty and is also the first Amex co-branded lounge in Canada, offering eligible ‘Cardmembers’ priority access, as well as activations and experiences throughout the year.

Designed by Montreal-based architectural design firm, Artesa, and featuring artwork by internationally renowned Montreal-born photographer Nicolas Ruel, the lounge spans 3,700 square feet including 100 seats across dining and bar areas, lounge space, workstations and private booths.

“ADM Aéroports de Montréal is delighted to welcome this new Aspire Amex lounge, which offers departing travellers from YUL a unique new experience,” said Philippe Stas, ADM’s VP, Services, Commercial and Innovation. 

“Thanks to our partners Aspire and American Express, this new space, with its design and food imbued with the ‘Montréalité’ so dear to ADM, will enhance the level of service offered in the domestic zone at YUL and reinforce our commitment to providing passengers with a welcome worthy of the greatest international airports.”

The lounge will be open daily from 5am – 9pm, offering guests a chance to sit back and relax with table-seat dining and a dedicated Grab n’ Go service. 

The food and beverage selection features specialty coffee by Café Saint-Henri and Lavazza, signature cocktails by Montreal’s renowned Cloakroom Bar and beverages from a range of local and international partners.

It also showcases local products such as artisanal charcuterie from the renowned Montreal butcher shop Édouard et Léo, bagels from the famous St-Viateur, and more.
