Business Lounge IB Kanapiya
★4.0(89 reviews)ALA · International Terminal
Tarmac and Tien Shan mountain views from Almaty's international Star Alliance lounge.
The Business Lounge IB Kanapiya is a calm, contemporary retreat on the second floor of Almaty's international terminal, raised above the busy concourse below. It serves Star Alliance Gold members and business-class passengers, with a muted colour palette, clean lines and plenty of natural light. Comfortable leather chairs are arranged in intimate groupings, and floor-to-ceiling windows give panoramic views of the tarmac and the distant Tien Shan mountains. The lounge keeps a quiet, professional atmosphere — soft instrumental music and the occasional terminal announcement — making it an easy place to decompress before a flight. Refreshments run to snacks, hot and cold beverages and alcoholic drinks, with workspace facilities including a desktop PC, printer and fax for anyone who needs to get something done before boarding.
Crowding · calm
A workable pre-flight spot with a desktop PC, printer and fax plus quiet seating. Fine for printing a document or handling email, though it isn't a dedicated business centre.
✓ Printer available
A self-service spread of snacks alongside hot and cold beverages and alcoholic drinks. The offering is geared to a quick bite and a drink before an international departure rather than a full meal.
In the international terminal, head up to the second floor; the Business Lounge IB Kanapiya overlooks the concourse and tarmac.
