At a glance
One of four lounges in Terminal E, and the best-rated of them. An independent lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and showers worth building a layover around — though anyone with a day pass can get in. It seats around 100, runs a full bar, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 6 AM – 8 PM daily. It opened in 2020. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Recorded access options include LoungeKey, Plaza Premium, and Priority Pass — Two-hour maximum for Priority Pass. Entry conditions and availability apply.
