Lotus Lounge
★3.7(379 reviews)CMB
Colombo's SkyTeam lounge — showers, a quiet area and a full buffet on the Pier.
The Lotus Lounge is the SkyTeam lounge at Colombo's Bandaranaike International Airport. It sits airside on the Pier, on the walkway towards Gates 5-14, and opens around the clock. Access is for SkyTeam Elite Plus status holders and passengers flying in business or first class on an eligible airline. The interior is calm and contemporary, with warm lighting, local artwork and natural wood accents, and large windows that look out over the tarmac. Beyond the seating, the lounge has a few features that lift it above a basic contract lounge — showers, a dedicated quiet area, a TV room and internet terminals — alongside a hot and cold buffet and a full bar serving beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks.
