About this lounge

The El Dorado Lounge is the headline independent lounge in the international departures area of Bogota's Terminal 1, sitting airside directly in front of Gate A8. It's the most flexible way in at BOG: Priority Pass holders are welcome and a pay-in option is sold, and the lounge runs 24 hours a day. The space is sleek and contemporary, with high ceilings and minimalist decor that feels airy by day under natural light and cozy in the evening with warm accent lighting. Seating is arranged in intimate clusters for both relaxing and quiet conversation, and the lounge adds a cinema, a games room and a separate children's play area. Complimentary access to the Gold Museum exhibit is included, while showers, massage chairs, a spa and conference facilities are available for an extra charge. The maximum stay is six hours.

A workable spot with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and quiet clusters of seating. Fine for email and light work before a flight, though it isn't a dedicated business lounge and the games room and cinema lean leisure.

Food & drink
