No1 and Clubrooms lounges open at Heathrow Terminal 3
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
Late last year, we covered a major shake-up coming to the independent lounge scene at Heathrow’s Terminal 3.
If you’re a regular HfP reader then you’ll know Terminal 3 has the best selection of airline lounges of any airport terminal in the UK.
Perhaps less known is its network of independent lounges, which includes the American Express Centurion lounge, Club Aspire and No1.
As we wrote in November, there were plans to fully refurbish both the Club Aspire and No1 lounges:
- the existing Club Aspire lounge would be totally refurbished to become a Scandi-inspired My Lounge
- the No1 Lounge would shrink marginally, mainly by losing the now-closed shower, spa and bedroom area
- a new premium Clubrooms lounge would be built in the space given up by No1 Lounge
The No1 Lounge has been closed for redevelopment for around three months and reopened yesterday, transformed into two spaces: the No1 Lounge and a brand new Clubrooms space which features a la carte service.
Initial photographs look impressive, with some very Mediterranean-inspired interiors and a large, central olive tree (see below).
Fortuitously I am at Terminal 3 today as I head away for the Easter break and will stick my head into both. Stay tuned for reviews following the Bank Holiday.
You can book both on the No1 website. The Clubrooms (which requires a £15 supplement if using Priority Pass) is currently running an opening offer of 15% off when you book on the website and use the code CRLHR3-15. The offer runs until 16th May.
