The Best Airport Lounge Comes With a Private Shower?
As a few of you might know I'm a practically religious traveler. Long weekends, holidays and ever vacation day are spent as far away from home as possible. Also my fiancée due to work has status with multiple Star Allience airlines. As such I've been to a good number of airport lounges, the nicest being the Turkish Airlines International Lounge in Ataturk airport.
This lounge is the best for multiple reason. First off the food is top notch. The selection ranges from Swiss style sandwiches, to Turkish meatballs, to French pastries. It really is an awesome selection! Plus you get a wide range of drink options and a full bar!
This while impressive is standard for many lounges, however, the Turkish Airlines lounge also has free massages, 5 star private showers, a virtual golf course, two video game systems, a movie theater, pool table, library, and to top it all off if you're doing a between country layover you get a free room to sleep in!
Still don't believe this lounge is one of the best? Checkout my pictures below :)
As you can see this lounge is two floors of awesome!
The library/ pool area. It isn't quite, but it is just a lounge.
The golf course isn't much, but if you're into golf a bit of practice can't hurt!
The miniature race track isn't too impressive but younger kids seem to like it.
The private showers. Perfect for cleaning up prior to a long flight.
The drink options range from Efes Beer to Pepsi to Ayran( A Turkish drink I'd advise against trying).
A chef hard at work preparing my next great foodie experience.
A Turkish bread/spinach dish whose name now escapes me.
A lovely mix of French and Turkish pastrie. Half of them were amazing. The other half not so much.
A Turkish styled set dish with Kofte and Turkish rice.
Hope you all likes the brief overview and photos. Comments, questions, upvotes and follows are nice if you have them to give.
Note: One caveat to this lounge is that you can't buy access. It's for frequent fliers and business/first class.
This seems like a much of a seclusion. I feel that there should always be an option to buy a day pass into a lounge like this. It's only right for one who is interested in feeling VIP for the day ! :) Nice pics though really feels like we experienced the setting with you! Cheers!
I do wish they'd offer this, but I'm guessing their thought is option to buy access is offered via a business class or first class ticket. Glad you liked the photos btw :)
Haha!
One has to WONDER how big of a shower is this...
I have been to plenty of domestic lounges.
Love those places. <3
But none of 'em have had shower.
I have a few more pictures actually. If you want I'll add them to this post. Size wise it's got a shower with two heads, a toilet, sink and small two person bench. I'd say it's the size of a normal apartment's bathroom and if we're speaking honestly it's much nicer and a bit bigger then the bathrooms in most of the apartments I've lived in.
