Review: SAS Gold Lounge Copenhagen (CPH)

Matthew Klint Posted onNovember 15, 2019November 15, 2019 12 Comments

Give me good coffee and you’ve already made me happy. Everything else in the SAS Gold Lounge in Copenhagen was icing on the cake.

SAS Gold Lounge Copenhagen Location + Opening Hours

The SAS Gold Lounge is open to Star Alliance Gold members and located directly above its business lounge “SAS Lounge” near the entrance to Per C in Terminal 3. It is open from 5:15AM to 11:00PM Monday thru Friday and opens at 6:00AM on Saturday and Sunday.

SAS Gold Lounge Copenhagen Coffee

Let’s start with the coffee, because I found this the highlight of a lounge. A barista is on-call, throughout the day, to make the coffee of your choice. Lavazza is used and I enjoyed three cappuccinos during my stay.

SAS Gold Lounge Copenhagen Food + Drink

I know some people complain there is no English/American breakfast items, but the Scandinavian breakfast spread is still comprehensive and quite tasty. Think:

  • Sliced ham
  • Hardboiled eggs
  • Harvarti cheese
  • Cereals
  • Yogurt
    • Plain
    • Strawberry
    • Vanilla
  • Oatmeal (hot)
  • Overnight Oats with apple
  • Seeds
    • Black currant
    • Sunflower
    • Flax

Drinks include soft drinks, juices, water, beer, wine, and various kinds of tea.

SAS Gold Lounge CPH Seating

The Danish modern style appears eclectic at first glance, but is really quite deliberate also quite comfortable.

SAS Gold Lounge Copenhagen Business Center

A small business center offers two spots to work with plug-ins and a copy machine.

Nearby, four HP computers offer web browsing.

SAS Gold Lounge Copenhagen Internet

Speaking of internet, you want to avoid the whole front side of the lounge (facing the terminal, directly above the entrance) if you want to use the internet.

That side of the lounge has desks and tables with plugs and I set up shop there first. But the wi-fi Internet signal from the lounge was too weak to reach that room…I could not connect and ended up moving closer to the coffee bar.

SAS Gold Lounge CPH Daylight Booster Zone

Winters are long and dark in Copenhagen. As a result, the lounge offers a room that simulates sunlight. It is apparently quite therapeutic during times of the year when the light is brief and low in the sky.

SAS Gold Lounge CPH Restrooms

Restrooms are clean…as simple as that.

SAS Gold Lounge Copenhagen Showers

I had arrived from Berlin and had a big day ahead of me in Reykjavik, so I used my extended layover to take a shower. The shower suites, I thought, were located downstairs in the SAS Lounge (not the SAS Gold Lounge). 

There were showers there, but turns out there were showers upstairs as well that I just missed.

Anyway, I appreciated the warm shower and the chance to sync my iPhone with a built-in speaker via bluetooth and listen to music while showering and shaving.

SAS Gold Lounge CPH Quiet Area

A rest area near the corner of the Gold Lounge offered a few easychairs to stretch out in.

SAS Gold Lounge Copenhagen Service

Service, outside the coffee bar, was non-existent. I don’t say that in a negative sense, just an observational one. I really didn’t see staff proactively roaming the lounge and collecting empty cups and plates. That said, everyone seemed to be taking care of themselves.

CONCLUSION

The coffee won me over and will bring me back to this lounge every time I fly via CPH. But this lounge actually has a lot going for it and my time in this lounge reminded me of how much I appreciate my Star Alliance Gold status.

    I too love the scandinavian cold breakfast: meats, cheeses, bread, pickles, fresh cucumber and tomatoes, hard boiled eggs. Its hearty and feels fresh at the same time.

      Agreed. I don’t see why so many complain about it.

        I think the food is perfectly fine. We should we willing to embrace the differences when we travel.

        On my Scotland trip the Hotel is Islay included Haggus as part of their full breakfast and guess what… I actually enjoyed it!

    So regardless of cabin your booked in this is only open to Star Golds?

      Yes. The lounge upstairs is opened to *A gold member and then the lounge downstairs is open to business travelers from *A flights. It follows the general model having fancier lounges for FFP members (Finnair is similar)

    The showers at this lounge aren’t ventilated, at least when I transited here last year. I took a regular shower + a sweat shower as a result. Quite unpleasant. The lounge outside of that experience was solid.

      Agreed, although I find this to be a pretty common problem in 90% of lounges that I shower in.

    “I know some people complain there is no English/American breakfast items”

    Not the most valid complaint, seeing how the lounge isn’t actually in England or the US…

    I don’t much like this lounge: the food is far too Danish/Scandinavian. Finnair makes a far better fist of providing international cuisine in their Helsinki lounges. No one wants to eat rollmops, at least no one other than Scandinavians, yet this kind of ghastly dish predominates here, Putrid.
    On the plus side, the bread is good and so is the soup, as well as the coffee noted by Matthew.
    I do like the Airport: it ( as well as Stockholm and Helsinki ) has great shopping, at least for my taste.

    Since I live in Sweden, I have to transit through CPH quite often and spend a considerable amount of time in this lounge. I find it okay but worse than SK’s lounges in ARN and OSL. It’s often very crowded, very hot and not very well cleaned. A bit of a zoo. Also, they have zero variety in terms of F&B options. I much prefer to less crowded and better ventilated Eventyr Lounge (priority pass), just outside the passport control area.

    Matthew, please stop pretending you like coffee when you drink cappuccinos

      Your opinion is noted and appropriately flushed.

While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.
