The Emirates Lounge
★4.5(149 reviews)CPT
Emirates' two-level Cape Town lounge — Italian marble, leather armchairs and walnut finishes.
The Emirates Lounge at Cape Town International opened in March 2016 and is the airline's dedicated space at the airport, serving Emirates First and Business Class passengers and eligible Skywards members. Spread across two levels, it welcomes up to 123 guests and is finished to the airline's flagship standard, with Italian marble floors, leather armchairs and walnut wood detailing throughout. It's a polished, distinctly branded environment designed to carry Emirates' onboard experience through to the ground, giving premium passengers a calm, comfortable place to relax, eat and freshen up before the long flight north. For Emirates flyers leaving Cape Town in a premium cabin, it's the natural choice.
