The Library Lounge
★4.3(707 reviews)NCE · Terminal 1 · airside
Nice Terminal 1's most flexible lounge — DragonPass, Priority Pass, Star Alliance or oneworld.
The Library Lounge is the most flexible lounge at Nice Côte d'Azur, sitting airside in Terminal 1 on level 2 of the main departure lounge. Renovated and renamed from the former Salon Azur, it takes the widest range of access at NCE — DragonPass and Priority Pass members, Star Alliance Gold and oneworld Sapphire status passengers, and business-class travellers on partner airlines are all welcome, with walk-in entry usually possible subject to capacity. The space leans into a relaxed reading-room theme, with a self-serve buffet of snacks and finger food, an open bar serving soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor, an espresso machine, and complimentary Wi-Fi. For most Terminal 1 departures it's the default recommendation, especially if you carry a lounge membership rather than airline status.
Crowding · busy at peak
One of the better Nice lounges for getting work done, thanks to its quieter reading-room feel, Wi-Fi and power at many seats. Fine for email and focused light work before a flight.
A self-serve buffet of snacks and finger food — cold cuts, cheese, packaged snacks and light bites — alongside an open bar with soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor, plus an espresso machine for coffee. It's a light-bites spread rather than a hot-meal buffet, designed to tide you over before a flight.
