At a glance
One of four lounges in Terminal 5, and the lowest-rated of them. An airline lounge with a door that keeps the crowds out — though seats are scarce at peak and it gets loud. It seats around 165, runs a full bar, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 8 AM – 12 AM daily. It opened in 2024. Only worth it if the alternative is the gate. Recorded access options include Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access. Entry conditions and availability apply.
