At a glance
One of four lounges in Terminal 1, ranking 3rd among them. A hub club with room to get work done in peace, a bar worth the visit, and coffee made by a person rather than a button. It seats around 208, runs a full bar, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 4:30 AM – 11:30 PM daily. It opened in 2020. 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.
