V.I.P. Lounge
★4.0(378 reviews)ABJ · Mezzanine
Abidjan's mezzanine Star Alliance lounge with a complimentary hot buffet and bar.
The V.I.P. Lounge is the more food-focused of Abidjan's two Star Alliance lounges, set on the mezzanine behind the duty free shops at Félix Houphouët-Boigny International, airside after security. It welcomes Star Alliance Gold members and business-class passengers travelling on carriers such as Ethiopian Airlines, Brussels Airlines and Turkish Airlines, and is open 24 hours. Its main draw is a complimentary hot buffet and snacks, backed by a bar serving soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor — a more rounded spread than most rooms at ABJ. There's also a TV area for unwinding and internet access if you need to get online. Access follows your Star Alliance tier or your cabin rather than a paid pass.
Crowding · varies by departure bank
A relaxation-focused lounge with internet access and a TV area. Fine for email and light work before a flight, but more about a meal and a rest than a dedicated work session.
The most generous food offering among Abidjan's Star Alliance lounges — a complimentary hot buffet and snacks, with a bar pouring soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor. Enough for a proper meal and a drink before a flight rather than just a light bite.
