This guide is compiled from airline, alliance and lounge-operator sources plus published access rules from Priority Pass and DragonPass — we haven't independently visited every Nice Côte d'Azur Airport lounge yet. Nothing here is a paid placement, and the guide is updated as lounges open, close, renovate or change access policies. Read more about how we verify lounge data.

Where we'd actually go.
The Library Lounge
The Library Lounge in Terminal 1 has the widest access at Nice — DragonPass, Priority Pass, Star Alliance and oneworld all get you in, and walk-in entry is usually possible subject to capacity. With a self-serve buffet, an open bar and a calm reading-room feel, it's the most flexible choice for most Terminal 1 departures.
The Canopy Lounge
The Canopy Lounge (formerly Salon Riviera) sits airside in Terminal 1 and shares the same broad access as The Library — DragonPass, Priority Pass, Star Alliance and oneworld — but adds hot food and runway views. A strong second Terminal 1 option if The Library is busy.
The Infinity Lounge
The Infinity Lounge (formerly Salon du Cap Ferrat) is the airside Terminal 2 lounge built for walk-ins — it sells paid entry at the door, so you can pay per visit without airline status or a lounge membership. The simplest way into a Terminal 2 lounge if you're flying non-Schengen.
Infinity Lounge
The Infinity Lounge in Terminal 2's Schengen area (Zone A) serves SkyTeam Elite Plus and oneworld Sapphire passengers, with Mediterranean and runway views, complimentary Wi-Fi and an open bar. The pick for status passengers flying Schengen routes from Terminal 2.

How to get into lounges at NCE.
Nice splits cleanly along terminal lines. Terminal 1's two lounges take the widest range of access — DragonPass, Priority Pass, Star Alliance and oneworld — and usually sell walk-in entry too. Terminal 2 leans on SkyTeam and oneworld status for two of its lounges, with a third selling pay-per-visit day passes. Because the terminals don't connect airside, always match your lounge to the terminal you're flying from.
Priority Pass
Priority Pass is accepted at The Library and The Canopy lounges in Terminal 1. Coverage is narrower in Terminal 2, so check the per-lounge page and confirm your lounge is in the terminal you're departing from.
Priority PassDragonPass
DragonPass opens The Library and The Canopy lounges in Terminal 1, the same pair covered by Priority Pass. It's a reliable membership route for Terminal 1 departures.
DragonPassWalk-in day pass
The airside Infinity Lounge in Terminal 2 (formerly Salon du Cap Ferrat) sells paid entry at the door, and the Terminal 1 lounges usually admit walk-ins subject to capacity. Booking ahead online is typically cheaper than paying on arrival.
Airline & alliance lounges
SkyTeam Elite Plus passengers use the Levity Lounge (non-Schengen) and the Schengen-area Infinity Lounge in Terminal 2; oneworld Sapphire status reaches the Schengen Infinity Lounge and both Terminal 1 lounges; Star Alliance Gold opens the Terminal 1 lounges.

- —The pay-per-visit Infinity Lounge (formerly Salon du Cap Ferrat) is the walk-in option if you don't hold status.
