Calgary International

4.5

Overall, from 15 metrics

🍸 Full bar🚿 2 shower suites🪑 Seats 100

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 AM – 8:30 PM daily. It opened in 2016. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Aspire Lounges, DragonPass, and LoungeKey and 1 more program get you in.
