Business Class Lounge

Baku's Star Alliance business-class lounge — premium-cabin comfort with a hushed feel.
The Business Class Lounge at Baku Heydar Aliyev is the airport's Star Alliance business-class lounge in Terminal 1, serving premium-cabin passengers and eligible status holders flying a Star Alliance carrier. It sits on the third floor, before the departure area, and is open around the clock. The lounge has a sleek, contemporary ambiance with minimalist decor and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light by day and a warm glow from subtle track lighting in the evening. Plush leather armchairs and low-profile couches create cozy seating nooks, and the atmosphere stays hushed — punctuated only by the occasional clink of glasses from the bar and soft conversation. Tropical plants add a touch of greenery, while cool marble floors and Azeri-inspired artwork blend international polish with local culture. It's a calm, comfortable place to wait if you're flying Star Alliance in a premium cabin.
Crowding · generally calm
A calm place to handle email or a call before a flight, with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and quiet leather seating. Comfortable for light laptop work, though it's geared more to relaxing than to dedicated working.
A business-class buffet with hot and cold dishes alongside bar service — a step up from the standard contract lounges, with drinks poured at the bar. The selection suits both day and evening departures.
