- Lufthansa First or Senator status holders
- Star Alliance Gold members on same-day Lufthansa or Star Alliance flights
- Business class passengers on Lufthansa or Star Alliance flights
- Paid entry available, but why would you when there are other lounges?
Ambiance: Walking into the lounge, you’re greeted with an attempt at modern elegance, but it feels more like a corporate office space rather than a sanctuary from travel’s chaos. The design is functional, with plenty of seating, but lacks the warmth you’d expect from a lounge in Paris. It’s like they took the German precision too far, leaving little room for the French charm.
Food: My flight was in the morning. The breakfast buffet is where you might expect a battle of cultures, but instead, it’s a truce. Expect German classics like sausages alongside some French pastries. The coffee is good, though – Lufthansa seems to know its coffee. But if you’re here for a culinary experience, you might leave feeling a bit like you’ve had a meal at an airport café rather than in Paris.
Drinks: The bar selection is decent for an airport lounge, with a few local wines and beers, but nothing to make you forget you’re in transit. There’s a selection of spirits, but don’t expect anything too fancy.
Work Facilities: If you need to get some work done, this lounge has you covered. There are plenty of power outlets, free Wi-Fi (which is actually reliable), and quiet zones. It’s like they said, “We’ll give you a place to work, but don’t expect to enjoy it too much.”
Amenities:
- Showers
- Newspapers and magazines, mostly in German and English
- A small area for relaxation, but don’t expect a spa
Crowd: It’s a mix of business travelers and those who’ve managed to score an upgrade or entry. The atmosphere can feel a bit like a networking event at times, but with less enthusiasm.
