Geneva's Star Alliance Gold lounge — SWISS Senator and Star Gold passengers.

About this lounge

The SWISS Senator Lounge is Geneva Airport's Star Alliance Gold lounge, located airside in the main terminal as part of the SWISS lounge complex. It is reserved for SWISS Senator members and other Star Alliance Gold passengers travelling on an eligible Star Alliance flight. Compared with the adjacent SWISS Business Class Lounge, it offers a quieter, lower-density space with the same core facilities: a buffet of hot and cold dishes, a bar, complimentary Wi-Fi, workspace and shower facilities. It sits between the business lounge and the SWISS First Class Lounge in the Geneva hierarchy — a calmer option for frequent flyers with Star Gold status.

A good pre-flight workspace. The lower-density layout, desks with power, complimentary Wi-Fi and quiet zones make it easier to focus than the business lounge or the contract lounges.

Expect hot options, salads, sandwiches, snacks and Swiss touches, with wines, beers, spirits, soft drinks, coffee and tea.
