Incredible lounge! There are two lounges - business class and for mileage members. Since the walk to the business class lounge was far from my gate, I opted for the mileage members lounge. Oh boy, did this impress! I had such a wonderful experience flying on Turkish airlines into Istanbul. I wasn't hungry, but I was trying to find a quiet place to sit before my next flight. The lounge is huge with views of the airport. The acoustics are pretty amazing for how busy the airport and lounge is, it wasn't that loud. There are so many food stations with everything being made fresh. It was so hard to say no to another meal. I tried the homemade Turkish ravioli made with lamb, a Turkish coffee, and more. Delicious! I had some sweets before leaving too. Can't wait to try the business lounge when I head home! read more

The food and beverage options were wonderful. The ambiance was pleasant as the lounge wasn't at all noisy, which was surprising as it was very full of travelers. The service at the food kiosks was pretty timely and efficient. It was a comfortable way to spend a couple of hours while we waited for our flight. I highly recommend this lounge. read more

Turkish Airlines Lounge - A view of the lounge with a food kiosk on the left - Airport Lounges Near Me - Istanbul, 34

Wow. Just... wow. This lounge is tucked away on the second floor of Istanbul Airport. My hubby and I arrived at the airport at 4:00am and I was so happy when I saw that it was already open! As soonest we walked inside it felt like entering a whole different world. It is huge!! We experienced lounges in the past that felt cramped and tight, and often where one has to be quick to snag a table. Not so this one: This lounge has endless seating options, from cozy café-style corners to relaxed lounge areas. The food selection is also amazing--you can pretty much find anything that you are in the mood for. From fresh fruit, pastries, hot and cold dishes, sweet and savory - you name it! The bathroom has a luxurious feel to it, with marble sinks and seated cosmetic tables. Overall, hands down this one is one of the best business class lounges I have ever experienced. read more

Who could ever imagine an airline lounge that could be a tourist attraction in itself? That would be the Turkish Airlines lounge at the Istanbul Airport. If you think the airport is big, be prepared to have your mind blown when you see the lounge. It sprawls across the upper floor. Unlike other lounges where you are offered sandwiches that have been sitting there for a while and less an mediocre food, the Turkish lounge offers multiple cook to order stations with all sorts of wonderful Turkish foods. If you're not in in the mood for hot selections, there is also a salad bar that rivals any that I have ever seen with over 50 items. A wide selection of baklavas and cakes and other desserts. There is a masseuse, ironing service, nap rooms, golf simulator, grand piano and more. It was so enjoyable that I didn't want to leave for my flight home. read more

I liked this lounge a lot! There are a lot of different seating areas here and a good variety of food and drink as well. The place feels spacious since most of it overlooks the promenade below. When I was there, I was able to feast on some grilled chicken, pilaf, dips and simit. Also, I had a couple of really good desserts! There's an area to get fresh Turkish tea or coffee. There's also a large variety of drinks and I rehydrated with some fizzy water and a delicious sour cherry drink. Staff is good about clearing plates and keeping things moving. Restrooms were very clean! I was here about 90 minutes and even though it was busy, I found it relaxing and welcoming. Count me as a fan. read more

Wow, now I get the hype! Probably the second-best airport lounge I've ever been in (the top honor goes to Qatar Airways Al Safwa lounge in Doha). It's a beautiful space, with different 'areas' and lots of seating options. There's lots of glass and it's 'open' to the airport down below, which is fun. One downside to that is the temperature-since the lounge is open-air there's no temperature control, and heat rises so the lounge was on the warm side. Tons of food stations-it was a little overwhelming so I didn't partake too much, but it smelled amazing. They also had a salad bar, dessert offerings, and much more. Lots of bottled/canned drink options, as well as self-serve juices and flavored water, and self-serve carts with wine (though they're a little hidden). Even though it's a huge lounge, it can get busy-I had trouble finding a spot for just me and finally found one wayyyyyy in the far corner. As with any lounge, that ebbs and flows as flights come and go. One thing I wasn't a fan of was the lack of outlets. Some of the 'cafe tables' had wireless charging pads on the tables, which is great for cell phones. However, not ideal if I wanted to plug my laptop in and work. Even the 'work pods' had USB-A outlets, but no plug-I was able to find a floor plug not far away, but it meant having to stretch my cord across a walkway, which wasn't ideal. They don't have their own wi-fi, but rather use the free wi-fi available throughout the airport. Sitting in the lounge, the connection was spotty-it kept dropping and was really slow. Perhaps it was just the corner of the lounge I was in, but not ideal for trying to get work done. As others have mentioned, the women's restroom is poorly designed. With such a big lounge, having so few stalls is poorly planned. The layout is also odd, as there are more sinks than stalls, and no room to form a line (which inevitably will happen with so few stalls). read more

I recently visited the Turkish Airlines Lounge at Istanbul Airport for the first time, and it exceeded every expectation I had formed from years of hearing other travelers speak so highly of it. Stepping inside feels almost like entering a small village tucked discreetly into the terminal--expansive, beautifully designed, and full of inviting corners to discover. Despite arriving at a busy time, I was immediately struck by how well the lounge absorbs its crowds. There are countless seating areas, each with its own character: quiet nooks for reading, open communal tables, café-style spaces, and comfortable lounge chairs that make waiting for a flight feel almost indulgent. The food offerings were, without question, one of the highlights of my visit. Turkish Airlines is known for its catering, but seeing the variety in person is something else entirely. The hot dishes were plentiful, with flavors from different cuisines, but the stuffed grape leaves were a standout for me--perfectly seasoned, tender, and something I gladly went back for a second helping of. And then there were the desserts, which ended up being my unexpected favorite part. I tried several, and each one tasted freshly prepared rather than overly sweet or generic. It felt like visiting a little dessert market, each table offering something different to tempt you. The lounge's amenities also elevate the experience. The showers are a true gift for long travel days--clean, spacious, and stocked with everything you need to feel refreshed before your next flight. I also walked through the designated sleeping area, which was calm and thoughtfully arranged, providing travelers with a genuinely quiet place to rest. Even the regular bathrooms were spotless during my visit, something I always appreciate when moving through a busy international hub. There is an elegance to how this lounge is organized, almost as if every detail was considered through the eyes of a traveler. Even small moments--like enjoying dessert while overlooking the bustling airport below--made the experience feel peaceful and restorative. The staff members I interacted with were warm and efficient, adding to the sense that this is a place designed to take care of you, not simply hold you until your boarding time. It's difficult to summarize everything this lounge offers because it truly needs to be experienced to be fully understood. If you have access, I strongly recommend giving yourself enough time to enjoy it rather than rushing through. My visit transformed a long layover into something genuinely enjoyable, and I'm already looking forward to returning on my next trip through Istanbul. read more

Turkish Airlines Lounge - Simit station - Airport Lounges Near Me - Istanbul, 34

I'd like to think that if I ever met any of my grandfathers that I would recommend this to them. I think they would enjoy it so much. I am not sure why I had this thought because both of them passed away in the mid 1900s, but the lounge just has this feeling that it would be appreciated by people from the 1940s and 1950s. It has this old world charm with a uniquely modern twist. This airport in general is so accommodating and comfortable. I wish I could have spent more time here. Guess I will have to book another trip some time, hopefully with a longer layover so I could explore more! read more

Turkish Airlines Lounge - Free Palestine - Airport Lounges Near Me - Istanbul, 34

Very comfy lounge to while away a stopover in Istanbul, including with a virtual reality-looking contraption that I haven't seen that I haven't seen anywhere else. Although it's missing some of the amenities that other places have, such as showers (also didn't see the on-duty masseuse, something I for sure would've taken up), the food options more than make up for it. So many different options of hot/cold Turkish cuisine, including manti, an olive and cheese station, a mixed nuts bar (which I had many, many helpings of), a lamb and chicken grill, and a baklava buffet. It was perhaps the best food I've ever had at an airport lounge. There were also bubbly alcohol options that are self-serve from discrete carts placed at various points - no bar. What I didn't like: 1) Terrible signage to actually access the lounge. Don't be fooled by the two entrances by elevators unless you're a specific card-holder or need special services; you want to look for the escalator by the saltbae restaurant. 2) Not many outlets. Seating is kind of scuffed. 3) The women's bathroom is an example of terrible functional design. The ratio of toilets to sinks was 1:2. Why does a bathroom need that many sinks? Then the paper towel holder was placed inconspicuously on the wall right by the line of people waiting to use the toilet, so you had to weave over with wet hands. We ended up swinging by the lounge 2x during our trip. Lots of seating available. read more

This was easily the worst check in process I've ever dealt with at a lounge. There was no signage that states you need to check in your guest, just huge clumps of people that swarmed the check in desk. After I was able to go through the gate my husband was stopped and we were told to check in so we did (even though our previous lounge visit had added Star Alliance to our tickets), and then our boarding passes still didn't work. We ran into the same issue leaving, got a loud error sound but by that point we didn't care. Food wise it's an amazing lounge. They have handmade manti, grilled meats, and a fantastic spread for antipasto but the check in process was brutal. If the lounge didn't have such a wonderful spread I don't think we'd ever return. read more

Seems like this has gone downhill. A bit old and janky. The good: massive space with lots of seating. The bad: much of the seating is worn and dirty. The good: lots of electrical outlets. The bad: many outlets don't work. The good: a variety of food stations and serve yourself beer and wine. The bad: the food was cold, the beer was warm. Friendly staff though. And virtual golf, which is fun! read more

Turkish Airlines Lounge - Virtual Golf - Airport Lounges Near Me - Istanbul, 34

One of the best airport lounges in the world. It's huge, there are multiple rooms to hang out (including a very clubby area), lockers for your bags, multiple chef stations, great buffets, lots of desserts, coffee machines, even fresh bavarian-style pretzels. I tend to be super conservative with layovers, i.e., I'd take a 3-hour layover vs. a 1-hour and if you have the choice at IST and have access to this club, take the longer layover! read more

I love Turkish Airlines lounge at IST. It is probably the best business lounge I have been to. It's spacious with lots of things to do: watch TV, rest and relax, play virtual golf, get a shoulder/back massage, etc. There are lots of fresh food stations where you grab what is being prepared and served right then and there. There is a tea and coffee buffet area where you can pick dozens of types of teas or coffee. Since Turkey is a muslim country, not much alcohol is displayed and/or promoted, but there are some beer choices in the cold beverage display and there is a small wine cart located in an obscure corner of the lounge.....It has white wine, red wine and sparkling wine choices. Since the pandemic, they have removed most of the electric outlets, so it was hard to find a place to plug my cellphone, but there are a few....just have to look for them. The staff keeps the place very clean and tidy. Just a relaxing place to wait for your upcoming flight. read more

I have travelled a lot over the last 40 years or so, and have occasionally ben able to fly Business class (for Shell and into Retirement). Airline Lounges can be a huge bonus, as you get out of the airport scrums and get a chance to sit down, relax, and enjoy some food and drink. Before my visit to this Turkish Airlines Lounge, I would have told you that the Emirates Lounge in Dubai was my best experience. Now I'm not so sure. This place must take up the equivalent of at least 1 soccer pitch and since Gayle (and 2 friends - Joan and Mark) got here first, it took awhile to find her. As I wandered about from there, most anything food and drink-wise was available, and all so tempting. A lot of it was made fresh on the spot. As I limit my alcohol intake, Turkish Coffee and one of the many available Turkish Deserts was my first choice. From there, it was giving into temptation here and there, and with a good alcohol free selection. Lounge staff were professional and helpful and the place was so clean that you could almost eat off the floor. The only negatives were the long walk to find this Lounge from our Arrivals gate, and the fact that Departure time came too fast. And no, I didn't run into NYC Mayor Eric Adams during my visit. But this place definitely made Gayle and I feel that we were living above our pay grade. read more

I would rather have my long lay over here as this lounge right runs 24hrs a day . Yes 24hrs .. food selection is outstanding.. lots of open seats to choose from .

Wow, this lounge is huge. We sat and slept here since we were flying business class back to LAX. Our flight was around 8am in the morning and we had landed at close to midnight from our prior flight, so we used the lounge for about 5-6 hours to sleep overnight. Lots of food options available (even someone behind the glass plating your food), drinks in every fridge was stocked. Plenty of sofas that passengers were sleeping in. Loved the kids play area with the big jumbo plane and tv screens for the kids. My toddler enjoyed it while the whole place was sleeping. So many dessert options. Wish I had an appetite to eat during our stay, but I was feeling sleepy and ready to crash on the sofa. They have napping pods but you need to have a layover in order to book that room. read more

Wow. The airline carriers out of the U.S. and UK, could learn a few things with this lounge. 1. It's massive. Lots of space, easy to navigate with multiple stations. 2. Stations include made to your specs omlettes, a section for their special bread, bread the bagel like things made in real time, yep a baker. One for pancakes and waffles - fresh on demand. One for tea and coffee. One for fruits, veggies, olives, and their awesome sun-dried tomatoe paste, a must. With the exception of the olive, fruit, and veggie station, the others are behind glass, so no touchy for you until they hand the dish. Internet is fast. Lots of seating options includes plugs right there. You feel luxury here. read more

Wow- this is definitely one the better lounges I've had the opportunity to visit. This is the lounge open to star alliance good members at Istanbul international terminal. Very large spacious lounge- several food stations with live chefs cooking Turkish specialties throughout the lounge. Too bad I had a short connection. Be aware that he Turkish lounge on the domestic terminal is very very different and pales in comparison to this. Also the Turkish business lounge (which I didn't have access to) is also different and star alliance gold does not automatically grant access to that one. read more

This is a very large airport lounge. There are large number of seats and couches located in various theme rooms throughout the lounge. The main thing about this lounge is that the food here is good. They actually have chefs preparing all the various dishes. There are several stations offering different culinary delights from around the world. You really have a great choice about what you choose to eat. The one thing that I find curious, however, is that the young people who are the baristas, preparing your lattes, cappuccinos, and the like, are also the people who walk around the facility cleaning up the tables. Meaning, I wonder how clean this facility's food preparation actually is? The main problem I find with this lounge is that a lot of people do things like take their shoes off and stick their dirty bare feet on chairs, lay their heads on the various small couches, go to sleep, and slobber. So, I wonder just how clean this place really is? I also want to talk a little bit bit about the layover situation at this lounge. As this lounge is operated by Turkish Airlines, and as the lounge and the airline are linked, thus, I believe, I can discuss them simultaneously. As anyone who has ever travel via Turkish Airlines understands, they tend to do these very long layovers at their hub in İstanbul. If you're traveling from locations throughout Europe and the Middle East, you may be presented with a very long layover. For example, I recently flew in from Oslo and I had a multi-hour, nigh-time, layover. So, I couldn't go into the city or anything during that extended time period. The airline promises that they will give their business class layover customers a suite for sleeping, but in the fine print, you find that those suites are only available for people who are laying over between four and seven hours. If your layover is any longer than that, like mine was, forget about it. You're not gonna get any place to lay your head. Meaning, you gotta stay awake, or do like the other people do and sleep on those dirty chairs or couches for hours upon hours. The other side of the situation is the Turkish airlines also promises it's business class customers that if you have a long layover they will give you a hotel room to stay at. The issue is, however, that only occurs when your layover is more than twenty hours. So again, if you fall somewhere in between, like I did, there's no place for you to sleep, as this lounge was not designed for a comfortable nights rest. I'm certainly not the only one dealing with the situation. There are people sleeping all over the place in this lounge. But, if you're promising something, or at least given the insinuation that some sort of accommodations are promised, I believe the airlines should really follow through with those promises and not attach all kinds of time sensitive caveats. Overall, however, it is a very nice lounge. The food here is very good, they have a lot of drinks, and the overall atmosphere of the lounge is very nice. read more

This lounge is out of this world. I booked a ticket through Istanbul to Bahrain because the business fare was pretty affordable AND I was able to do an extra-long layover in Istanbul, get a complimentary hotel, and buy myself a tour of the city for the day. What a deal! Being able to use this lounge is icing on that cake. And yes, they have cake. A whole assortment of desserts in fact. None of which I actually had. But they sure looked good. There was also a stand for soups. And a bakery. And a salad bar with yoghurt and an extensive selection of olives, and an entire honeycomb. Bees not included. Then in the "middle" of this expansive lounge were two stone huts, each serving something different. And they changed up their menu during the day. They were serving more hearty dinner fare when I first came through and on my way back I got to experience both breakfast and lunch. Off to the side a bit is another area where you can enjoy hot tea ... and just next to that is yet another sub-lounge serving a variety of juices and flavored waters. And yes, a video game wall. Meanwhile there are upright open refrigeration units scattered about where you can pick up soft drinks and water. I did also see a wine cart at some point. Meanwhile, there are always staff members walking around clearing up plates and cleaning tables so it's not that hard to find a place to sit. read more

This is definitely one of the nicer lounges. Upon entry after a set of escalators across from Gate E1, the lounge looks like a fancy hotel lobby, with a self-playing grand piano and giant video screen. There are several food stations, a tea station, lockers, Mac computers with a printer station, showers, and private suites. I had a short stay here, so sadly did not get to try the food. I heard the food is quite good. The showers are quite small compared to other lounges, and the water pressure is medium. There is a hairdryer, bathrobe, and slippers, but no cotton balls or cotton swabs. The private suites are located in the same hallway as the showers, but are only for those holding a Turkish Airlines ticket. That seems like a ridiculous rule, as customers without a Turkish Airlines ticket who want to nap just end up spreading across the rest of the lounge in public places, worsening the overall look and ambiance of a seemingly high-end lounge. 1/2 star off: The lounge is hard to find and pretty far from most gates. 1/2 star off: The private suites are only for Turkish Airlines ticket holders. read more

Before going to the Turkish Air Lounge, I read reviews regaling over how amazing it is. Well, while it was quite nice and offered some nice amenities, it certainly isn't the nicest lounge I've ever been to and I'm a little confused as to why it's be awarded with such accolade. The food was tasty, it was spacious (albeit kinda crowded), and offered fun amenities like a golf simulator but otherwise I don't see the appeal. Also, we had a super long layover (12 hrs) and we were told about rooms we could rent that had beds and TVs in them. We were very interested because we were so tired BUT... You can only use them if your lay over is between 4 & 9 hours, which we found very odd. Over all, the lounge was fine though. Free drinks. Free food. Free storage lockers. That's what you want, right? read more

Just a phenomenal experience each time I've had the luck to make my way to this lounge. First, Istanbul's newer airport is full of of food and shopping. What it lacks is a long term WiFi connection (you get a limited free amount of time before you have to pay.... trifling as hell) and lounges. The one lounge that has it all is TA's slice of heaven. I was a little meh about it at first but Camilla the yelping Hen just HAD to experience it. When you walk up to the entrance it's a bit odd. Basically forget about everything and everyone, have your boarding pass ready and scan it like a ticket at the gates. It'll scan in and let you enter. Then up the escalator you go... Right away you'll be greeted with the self playing piano. Camilla had a bunch of fun with it.... if you have baggage you want to stow turn a hard left to the lockers. Now, as you enter you will see all sorts of areas to sit. There is food everywhere. EVERYWHERE There are many live cooking stations each with their own hot item, made fresh before your eyes. From grilled meat to noodles, there is something to tempt you. They have large spreads of veggies and other traditional dishes. So many olives! I could eat here every single day! An unexpected treat is the local butter display. Eat it! Desserts are everywhere. I had so much that I felt guilty. From chocolate cake to local pastries, just go ahead and resign yourself to gaining weight. There are various seating options and the first time I went I settled in the area with day beds and got my snore on while Camilla played golf and toy cars. At one point I did have to stop her from playing too much, so that children who wanted to play could have a turn. There is no bar area that I could find. Just bar stations where you poured your own. I was sad that I could not find champagne but the local wine offerings were interesting, they also had various spirits but nothing too exciting. They also have good WiFi and it's free. Just scan your passport to get a code. In all, my time in this lounge was exceptional! Get there early and relax before your flight... it's the best lounge I've ever been to hands down! read more

The last time I was in the brand new Istanbul Airport, I had 37 minutes to run walk from one end to the other. I am enjoying this 4 hour layover much more! The main transit area is gargantuan and feels like you are walking through a massive exhibition hall like the World Trade Center or Expo grounds. But, unlike many other airports that have localized lounges near your departure gates, they decided to consolidate all of their resources into 1 mega lounge. The Turkish Business lounge has chef stations preparing local and regional cuisine as well as buffet spreads of vegetarian fare--Simit, Aegean Moussaka, Kao Soy (yes, Northern Thai curry noodle). Loads of beer, wine, liquor, juices, Turkish coffee and Bitter Lemon--long time since I've had it, let alone in a bottle! Many types of rest area including private bedroom suites if you have the right kind of ticket to quality. There are lockers for you to park your carry on stuff so you don't clutter the premises or worry about someone running off with it. Self playing piano. Very different experience--feels like I am at a luxe hotel within a convention center. The bar has been raised--well done Turkey! read more

Food food and food!! When you enter the lounge there's a gate in which you have to scan your boarding pass to get through but once you are through, oh my gosh!! It's beautiful!!! When we came there was a piano playing by itself and it immediately grabbed my attention!! But if you keep going down you will see FOOOOOD!! And tons of it too!! They constantly cook the food fresh and it's absolutely mouthwateringly delicious (tastes like it came straight out a lovely mother's kitchen). There is a couple of little pods with people constantly cooking with fresh ingredients. There's also little spots in different rooms that contain certain specialities such as teas or Turkish sweets. There's many ways to entertain yourself with a little sports game area and then there's another area with race car track and an mini airplane playground for the younger kids. Not to mention there's a prayer room, shower room, resting room and even private suites if you're lucky!! I seriously recommend the showers, it was a great way to relax after a long flight and wash off griminess from traveling. The interior is beautifully decorated.

Turkish Airlines is fast becoming one of the best airlines in the world. With the arrival of the new airport in Istanbul I was excited to take a look at the new business lounge. Not as humongous as the old airport lounge this one is on the Second floor of the terminal spanning the entire main area. You can take one of the four escalators to the lounge. The lounge has amazing views of the terminal floor. If you access the lounge via the main entrance you will find the concierge on your right side. On the left side is the seating area with many different food options. The fresh grill was my favorite where the chef prepared grilled chicken and Adana kebabs for the passengers. The food area is setup with different stations for different food options. 5 star lounge in a 5 star airport. read more

This new airport and hence, new lounge, is hands down the best business class lounge i have ever been in, exceeding my expectations on every front.

Dumplings, pasta, pizza, turkish cuisine, you name it, theyre cooking it fresh. The food is top notch Coffee: Full espresso and tea bar there, great place to grab a turkish chai Entertainment: Indoor screen golf, PS4 lounge, what else could you ask for!!
