![]() Last week, Plaza Premium won the Skytrax ‘Best Independent Airport Lounge’ award for the 6th year in a row for its Heathrow Terminal 2 lounge. House wines, beer, gins and spirits are all free, including cocktails using the Edinburgh Gins. Alcohol is free from the bar, although you do have to pay a supplement for some premium drinks. When it comes to drinks, soft and hot drinks are available to grab from fridges and machines around the lounge. Turkish Airlines was one of the guests at the lounge opening party so we may see them move in …. Plaza Premium is hoping to offer to airlines as a dedicated space for their business class guests. It has also opened up two additional spaces in the lounge which were previously boarded up whilst No1 operated the lounge – it was space allocated for a Clubrooms premium zone – which almost doubles the usable space. Plaza Premium has kept a lot of the fixed furnishings, such as the bar and buffet area, whilst refreshing all the soft furnishings and other design elements such as the armchairs, tables, lighting etc. Given that the No1 Lounge was only open for just over a year it was in very good condition. Luckily I had asked the staff to hold a slot for me when I was there for the party on the previous evening. When I arrived at midday the lounge was closed to on-the-door arrivals: it seems that even Plaza Premium isn’t immune to the current issues plaguing airport lounges and restaurants, who are struggling to recruit staff. To find the lounge, turn right once you exit the duty free shop after security, and head down to Gate 13-16. When Collinson (the owners of Priority Pass) bought No1 Lounges during the pandemic they decided to close this site, at which point Plaza Premium swooped in to lease the space. The No1 Lounge was only open for about a year before it closed due to covid. The other lounge is the Aspire next door, which I have reviewed here. This is a modern extension to the airport which opened in 2019 to accommodate two new lounges. It is very close to the Domestic Arrivals exit. ![]() The Plaza Premium Edinburgh Lounge has taken over the space that was previously used by No1 Lounges by Gate 16. ![]() Where is the Plaza Premium lounge at Edinburgh Airport? The Plaza Premium lounge at Edinburgh is currently open from 4:30am until 5pm daily. It is one of the best benefits of the Platinum Card in my view.Ĭash bookings are available via the website, with a 2 hour slot costing £37.40. In my case, I gained entry using my American Express Platinum card, which gets you and a plus one entry into all Plaza Premium lounges worldwide. Now that Plaza Premium has severed all ties with Priority Pass, the only way to access the Edinburgh lounge is by booking a spot for cash, using a DragonPass lounge club card or by holding a credit card which gets access. How to access the Plaza Premium Edinburgh lounge It is great to finally see a Plaza Premium lounge in the Scottish capital and the first outside London.
