At a glance
One of two lounges in Concourse D, 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 150, runs a full bar, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 4:30 AM – 12 AM daily. It opened in 2025. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Recorded access options include Escape Lounges, LoungeKey, and Priority Pass. Entry conditions and availability apply.

Positive opinion · Stars estimated from the post, not assigned by its author.
The caveat is that it's among the best in the world _within the Priority Pass network_, but nonetheless I would agree that the new Escape Lounge at PDX deserves recognition www.oregonlive.com/retail/2026/...

The fact that I write this with no choice but to hear the diabolical ceaseless twinkling soundscapes of adjacent Escape Lounge speaks volumes to how Portland allowed its good airport to be enshitified into a bad and expensive airport.
