Clune Construction Completes O’Hare Lounge Project
Clune Construction has completed the LOT Polish Airlines’ first American business lounge at Chicago O’Hare International Airport’s Terminal 5.
The lounge will open to the public next week, and the milestone project delivers a cultural and luxurious pre-flight experience while celebrating Polish heritage. Chicago has one of the largest Polish populations outside of Poland, and the 6,641-square-foot LOT lounge showcases authentic Polish craftsmanship. Materials—including custom tiles, furniture, and plumbing fixtures—were sourced directly from Poland and flown in on LOT Polish Airlines’ own aircraft.
At O’Hare International Airport, Clune’s other work includes the recently completed United Club and two acclaimed restaurants, Hampton Social and Bar Siena. “Clune’s deep understanding of airport environments allowed us to overcome the unique challenges of working near baggage and customs operations at O’Hare,” said Chris Redpath, Managing Director at Clune Construction. “We are proud to have delivered LOT Polish Airlines’ vision ahead of schedule, combining our expertise with their dedication to creating an authentic Polish experience for travelers.”
