At a glance
One of two lounges in Terminal 4, and the best-rated of them. A premium international lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and showers worth building a layover around. It seats around 250, mixes proper cocktails, and has eight shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 4:30 AM – 1 AM daily. It opened in 2017. Among the best lounges we track: worth a longer connection. Recorded access options include oneworld Sapphire/Emerald Lounge Access — oneworld Emerald or premium cabin. Entry conditions and availability apply.
