At a glance
One of seven lounges in Terminal 2, ranking 5th among them. A renovated club with enough quiet for a read or a nap, food and drink worth arriving early for, and coffee made by a person rather than a button. It seats around 150 and runs a full bar. Hours vary by day (Mon–Fri 4:15 AM – 10:15 PM; Sat 4:15 AM – 8:45 PM; Sun 4:15 AM – 10:15 PM), so check before a very early or late flight. It was last refreshed in 2025. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Admirals Club and oneworld Sapphire/Emerald Lounge Access. Entry conditions and availability apply.
