Qantas first-class lounge in Sydney comes straight from 2001: A Space Odyssey
Seriously, check out the picture to the right, snagged from one of DealMaker’s Road Warrior segments.
This is not from your favorite 1960’s Kubrick Classic. This is an actual first-class airport lounge in Sydney, Australia. And you want to talk about luxury? Listen to the description:
The lounge boasts entertainment areas with plasma TVs and a leather-floored library stocked with newspapers and magazines. A captive could play dominoes with those just passing through, or fire up a PlayStation. Wherever you are, the staff will fetch your drinks (gratis, naturally) from two fully stocked bars.
It features a restaurant with a celebrity chef (Neil Perry), leather chairs, floor to ceiling windows, options for massages, etc, etc, and so on.
The next time I fly First Class, I’m totally making a stopover in Australia.

[...] course, know everything about 2001 - in fact, I actually referenced it in a post I wrote today for InFlightHQ before I learned he had died. [...]
Too bad you can’t even spell Qantas’ name correctly…
@James hmmm…that is a shame. Thanks for pointing it out! Fixed.
