At a glance
One of eight lounges in Domestic/International Jetty, ranking 3rd among them. A restaurant style lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and coffee made by a person rather than a button — though anyone with a day pass can get in. It seats around 100 and mixes proper cocktails. Hours are 5 AM – 9 PM daily. It opened in 2025. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Recorded access options include Aspire Lounges, DragonPass, and Priority Pass — Branded Aspire AMEX Lounge; Amex Platinum cardholders and one guest. Entry conditions and availability apply.
