New hotspot at Schiphol: restaurant and bar The Wanderer opens in Lounge 1
A special new destination has just opened at Schiphol Airport: The Wanderer, a full-service cocktail bar with around 240 seats located in Lounge 1. Here, travelers can enjoy drinks and dishes from all over the world throughout the day. The concept is inspired by the vibrant atmosphere of urban areas in cities such as Amsterdam, London, and Barcelona.
The interior of The Wanderer is extravagant and surreal, featuring surprising elements that create a unique setting. Think of an art-deco chandelier, a gleaming cocktail bar and display cases filled with souvenirs. The bar represents the living room of ´The Wanderer´, an imaginary character who shares his experiences and adventures from around the world with travelers. The concept aligns with Schiphol’s ambition to offer travelers not only convenience but also inspiration and experience.
The Wanderer is more than just a restaurant or bar: it’s an experience that surprises travelers. With this, we’re adding something truly unique to Lounge 1. It offers a place to relax, meet, and enjoy. This is exactly the kind of experience we want to give travelers during their journey. With The Wanderer, we make Schiphol not only efficient but also an attractive and inspiring airport.
More than food and drinks
The Wanderer invites travelers to discover new flavors and moments. In addition to a wide selection of street food dishes and cocktails, travelers can enjoy live DJ performances, a photo booth and a vending machine offering alcohol-free cocktails to-go. The new hotspot was developed in collaboration with Avolta, a global leader in travel hospitality and retail and the Dutch Cocktail Club, a group of creative young entrepreneurs.
The Wanderer shows Avolta’s commitment to transforming airport spaces into vibrant, experience-led destinations. In collaboration with our partners Schiphol and the Dutch Cocktail Club, we bring our passion for hospitality to life; The Wanderer is about atmosphere and fun, delivering on our mission to make travelers happier.
Renewed Lounge 1
The opening of The Wanderer marks a milestone in the large-scale renovation of Lounge 1, the area where travelers stay after the security check for European flights. The lounge has been expanded from 19,000 to 24,000 square meters and now features a total of 23 new retail and hospitality concepts. With this development, Schiphol takes an important step in enhancing quality, variety and overall experience for travelers.
