Hamrah Kousha Kish
★3.4(2,098 reviews)IKA · Main Terminal
IKA's fullest lounge — oneworld and business-class access, open round the clock with showers and a hot buffet.
Hamrah Kousha Kish is the standout lounge at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport, sitting airside in the main terminal after security and passport control. It's open 24 hours, which matches IKA's heavily overnight international schedule, and offers the fullest amenity set of any lounge we track at the airport: hot and cold food, a bar, shower facilities, complimentary Wi-Fi, power at seats and a business area for travellers who need to work. Access is by airline credentials rather than a paid membership — oneworld Sapphire (or higher) status holders and business-class passengers on eligible flights are welcome. For travellers who qualify, it's the most comfortable way to wait out a late-night long-haul departure from Tehran, well away from the busier terminal floor.
Crowding · busy at night peak
A workable spot before a flight, with Wi-Fi, power at seats and a dedicated business area. Fine for email and focused work while you wait, and being open 24 hours means it's available even for the small-hours departures.
Hamrah Kousha Kish serves both hot and cold food, alongside a bar — the broadest catering of any lounge we track at IKA. The spread is geared to the airport's late-night departures, giving long-haul travellers a proper meal or a lighter plate before an overnight flight, with drinks available from the bar.
