LAX Star Alliance Lounge

[Pinkfloyd]

Nice pics! Looks a lot nicer than the *A lounge in CDG. Any smoking area by the way?

The food

Now this is another interesting part of the lounge. Note the wine collection. Even the food was very well done, I must say.











Asian section:





Note fish sauce and chilli. Nice touch.

Shower suites

There're a few suites in this area but I chose the handicap one as I didn't have my wide-angle lens with me.

Hallway leading to the showers - nice spa'rish feel:




Sorry for the shaky pics again.




Pretty spartan relative to the showers at SKL at T3,






Warning: I had no hot water for my shower. Fortunately I was pretty hot.

Outdoor Area - Beautiful open air

This is the pièce de résistance of the whole lounge. I wished I had taken this pics at sunset but my plane into LAX was late so this is the best for the moment.

Access to this area is right into the lounge itself, past the toilets and the shower suites.



Apologies for the shaky pic. Blame it on lack of food.


The fireplace on top of the tables really make a great ambience ... except that in warm California it's really too much.

Outdoor Area - Atrium

This is the "outdoor" area in the atrium of the airport.





Ample seating with convenient power points.

Google'd but didn't see any postings on the newish *A lounge in LAX, so I thought I'll do some posting here.

Summary: one of the best lounge designs I've seen.

Here's the look of the lounge the moment you get off the lift from the "ground level".
