Nice Terminal 1's lounge with hot food and runway views — DragonPass, Priority Pass, Star Alliance or oneworld.
The Canopy Lounge is one of two airside lounges in Nice Terminal 1, sitting on level 1 of the main departure lounge. Formerly known as Salon Riviera, it shares the broadest access at Nice — DragonPass and Priority Pass members, Star Alliance Gold and oneworld Sapphire passengers, and eligible business-class travellers all get in, with walk-in entry usually possible subject to capacity. What sets it apart from the neighbouring Library Lounge is hot food and runway views: the buffet includes hot dishes alongside snacks and finger food, the open bar pours soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor with premium drinks available to buy, and large windows look out over the apron. With an espresso machine, complimentary Wi-Fi and a relaxed feel, it's a strong choice for Terminal 1 departures when you want a bit more than a light-bites lounge.
Crowding · busy at peak
A workable pre-flight spot with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and runway-view seating you can use for a laptop. Fine for email and light work, with a slightly livelier feel than The Library.
