At a glance
One of two lounges in International Terminal, and the best-rated of them. A calm functional 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 100, runs a full bar, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 6:30 AM – 8:30 PM daily. It opened in 2016. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Recorded access options include Aspire Lounges, DragonPass, and LoungeKey and 1 more program. Entry conditions and availability apply.
