The Good
- Spacious layout with desert-toned decor and Camelback Mountain views through the windows
- Shower facilities are a lifesaver after long flights in the dry heat
- Southwest-inspired food menu is a step above standard Admirals Club fare
- Dedicated work bar with outlets at every seat makes remote work easy
The Bad
- Morning rush between 5:00 AM and 7:00 AM can fill the lounge to capacity
- No sleeping areas or quiet pods for overnight layovers
- Located on the upper level which requires an escalator or elevator ride
Pro Tips
- Request a shower pass the moment you walk in. With only two stalls and PHX being a major connecting hub, wait times can hit 40 minutes by mid-afternoon.
- Ask the bartender for the Four Peaks Kilt Lifter on draft. It is a local Scotch-style ale brewed in Tempe and one of the best beers you will find at any airport lounge.
- The window counter seats facing the Camelback Mountain side are the quietest spot for work calls. Most guests cluster near the bar and food stations.
- If you are connecting from Terminal 3, take the Sky Train over. You will have plenty of time even with a 90-minute connection.
