| - Little bit of paradise outside of D4, Concourse D.
SWANK AND CONTEMPORARY, DESIGNERS PARADISE AND HIGH QUALITY EVERYTHING,
love the little pods and designs of private spaces for this $50/ head entry for AMEX holders. Luckily, we received complimentary passes,
Blown away by the beautiful decor. I seriously would not have minded staying all day in an airport, if I get to do it in style and relaxation too.
There are even tablets and headphones to borrow!! Shower stall room sports L'Occitane prodocts,
All premium cocktails are included at the bar. They start serving at 11:30; guess who was waiting for 1130?!!:) Service and wait staff were prompt and courteous.
Cosmo's Scott Conant heads the buffet bar. It is small...but it is very yummy. Usually only 3-4 offerings for breakfast and for lunch, but again, so good.
Tried fresh compote pancakes and a bit of herb frittata. Espresso machine and mimosas. Then for lunch, a great roasted veg soup, Italian gnudi ( fresh, but needed bit more flavor), and the best braised short ribs...had to nab several of those!
Watermelon guava agua fresca, mango Ceylon iced tea for those who don't drink.
Dessert included vanilla panna cotta, cookies, truffle brownie, and berry crumble bars.
I rolled out of the lounge and wished against turbulence in getting home. Thank goodness I had to get over to Terminal 1: forced a much-needed walk!
Platinum and one other category AmEx holders: complimentary access.
