Lufthansa Lounge

Dull and outdated, outworn interior. Cheap feel to all the furnitures. OK, I’ve introduced you to the downsides first. Don’t let that scare you though. The upsides are about to unfold.
You are not allowed to self-​serve any alcoholic beverages. They have nice and polite man ready to serve alcoholic concoctions of your choosing. Ohh… and plain beer.
The food wasn’t all that great. They did have some tasty bite size sandwich thing going on. I did fancy those — I must admit.
I ate a few of those sandwich thingys, and gulped down a glass of Johnny Walker whilst reading the Washington Post. While doing that, I felt like I was sitting in an Ikea Restaurant.
The staff were attentive and did remove empty plates and glass really quick. One waitress even took it upon herself to entertain two bored Chinese kids travelling with what I assume was their father.
All in all this beats waiting at the gate by fourhundredandsixtynine points. You might feel like you sat down in a cheap industrial cafeteria, but the service will do justice to your visit.

This review is for the Lufthansa Senator, Not Business lounge. The lounge is much better that United club. Although small, the food and alcohol services are plentiful. Another area is roped off for HON circle member. This lounge makes up for the terrible DULLes airport. The best thing is Lufthansa gate is right across from the lounge.

Awesome place, I’m a huge fan of the Lufthansa lounges. Doesn’t matter where you travel to, they keep their lounges always in perfect shape. The united lounge looks like a joke compared to the Lufthansa lounge at IAD. 5 stars no question! Keep up the good work Lufthansa!

Perfectly average! That about sums it up.
In typical German style, this lounge is efficient and functional. It has everything you need in an airport lounge — good wifi, plenty of power outlets, decent drink selection, small bites, clean bathrooms, and a coffee/​espresso machine. Do not expect anything luxurious. No rain showers like IST, no superb food like BOM, and no massages like BKK. However, it has everything that is essential.
It is two steps above from the United Airlines lounges and one step below the Virgin Airlines lounge at Dulles airport. I think any lounge is better than the United Airlines lounges anywhere across America.

A crowded hot basement is what they offer business class passengers. There were no glasses to get water. I mentioned it to two of the attendants, they said they’d get some and didn’t see them going towards the kitchen or reporting that glasses were needed. At the end, I just took one of the open bottles to drink from it.

Pretty awesome little lounge. I’ve only ever visited the Senator side, but it’s pretty comfy.
First off, great seating… comfy leather chairs.
Great service… friendly staff
Free wine, hard liquor, beer, and food. How can you go wrong? The food is catered to German tastes, so you might not exactly love it, but the wines are generally pretty decent quality… beats the pants of what you can pay for in the United Club.
In order to be admitted you should be
1) Star Alliance Gold on a Star Alliance Ticket
2) On an international (excluding Canada & Mexico) business or first class ticket.
3) Lufthansa frequent traveler or above.

Amazing lounge with great food, service, and space. They have warm food and snacks, nice choices on beverages and speedy WiFi. There’s a downstairs area for more of the business travelers who are in need of some extra office space. This is an amazing lounge, you must check out.

The best *A lounge at Dulles. Warm food and not very many kids.
United’s lounge feature the same not so good snacks and no food and have lots of kids who enter using the chase coupons.

Used when waiting for an international flight to Bogota. I find it very comfortable, with good selection of snacks and drinks, free wifi and attentive service.

This lounge is OK, perhaps nothing special though. There are really two lounges, one upstairs and one downstairs. There are limited snacks and drinks available including coffer and beer. There is also free wifi. There’s a nice simple espresso machine. The upstairs lounge is quite small, and the downstairs somewhat larger, but there appears to be restrictions on what you can access depending on which airline you’re traveling with.

Treated by the staff like I was a prisoner who just exacpted from jail. I have NEVER been treated to poorly by an airlines and will make sure I NEVER take this airlines EVER again. And God bless you all who are going to deal/​pay for such rudeness. There are plenty of other airlines out there to choose from. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS AIRLINES!!!

Only downside: limited hours, so if you’re flying in earlier or leaving late you’re out of luck. Still makes the United Dingy Red Carpet Club look like the joke that it is.

This is, hands down, the best Star Alliance lounge at Dulles (the competition is nothing but dreary Red Carpet Clubs).
Past reviews mention a lack of showers and wifi — but both are actually available. The shower rooms, of which there are 2 or 3, are located downstairs in the business lounge section. Head there to sign in with an attendant, who will page you when a room is available. Towels and shower products are provided.
Wifi is also available lounge-​wide, and as of this summer, it’s free.
The lounge really shines for German-​speakers (or those, like me, hoping to work a bit on their not-​quite-​fluent German language skills). A considerable array of newspapers and magazines, nearly all in German, is provided, and some of the staff speak German. In particular, try striking up a German language conversation with the bartender downstairs.
Also, as Dmitriy’s pictures indicate, the lounge has outstanding food offerings, particularly on the Senator level — and respectable wines, beers and spirits, too. A visit will not quite be a meal substitute, but it can come very close.

I understand that as far as Lufthansa lounges are concerned, this is definitely not the best I’ve seen. The expansive lounges found in Frankfurt or Munich are much better and offer a wider selection of services and food. However, we are speaking in relative terms here. Since I only access Star Alliance lounges, this is much better than any of the other ones found throughout IAD.
Sure there’s no Wi-​Fi, but you get a wonderful view of the taxiway in front of the lounge. I was fortunate enough to visit right as the flight from FRA was coming in with the sun setting in the background, making for a perfect view.
The food selection was also surprisingly good. If you look at my uploaded photo, you can see the variety they offer. Various quiches, grilled chicken, pasta, sandwiches, veggies, cheeses, salami, rice, etc. In a sense, typical American food, but all prepared very well. This is definitely beyond the things you find at the Red Carpet Club or similar. The quiches are ridiculously good, even if they do look identically like the ones from Costco.
It seems as though they’ve closed the SAS lounge and consolidated everything in the Lufthansa Lounge, which means a small space like this has the possibility of getting crowded. This wasn’t the situation when I was there but it could happen.

This is really not very nice (1 star) so far as Lufthansa goes — but their Senator lounge in Frankfurt is completely over the top — by far the nicest first class lounge I have ever been in (5+ stars) — it is a must if you ever have a chance — it is an unforgettable experience.

There are two lounges, business lounge and senator lounge. Business lounge is for people flying business class and located in lower level. Senator lounge is for first class or ones with membership.
Well. I thought lufthansa’s Business lounge was OK for getting free drink, espresso drinks, soup and some snack like apple or nuts/​chips but not offering anything else. I felt like I was in a basement cheap cafeteria. without window… The senator lounge level offers a little more like tea-​sandwich, basic salad, soup and some hot dish (not tasty at all) and cheese (like other lounges) and one kind dessert (usually cheesecake or chocolate cake similar to ones you bake using cake mix) but this lounge has window seat:) …
No shower facility or lounge computers for internet use. Worst lounges I’ve seen for foreign airlines.
I think other airline lounges like NWA lounge in NWA hub airports or Continental airline’s lounges are much better than lufthansa.
