Dublin Airport (DUB) Finishes Lounge Renovations and Rebranding
The latest and final lounge rebranding at Dublin Airport (DUB) has been completed with the opening of The Phoenix Lounge. This location was previously named the T1 Lounge, which closed in February 2025 for refurbishment and reopened on April 17, 2026, with the new name. The lounge is located in Terminal 1, between security lanes on Level 2 (airside), and is open daily from 04:00 to 21:00 (9 PM).
The amenities include ample seating with charging plugs, flight monitors, complimentary newspapers and magazines. There is also a dedicated Business Centre providing computer access and free Wi-Fi access throughout the lounge. The lounge also features panoramic runway views, showers, extensive dining, hot & cold buffet selections, and a fully serviced bar with Guinness on tap, other popular beers, premium cocktails, wines, and spirits.
Dublin Airport-Operated Lounges
As mentioned above, The Phoenix Lounge is the final lounge to rebrand at the Dublin Airport, and there are now four airport-operated lounges at DUB. Three of the four lounges were renamed and refurbished from generic names to Irish-themed names.
- T1 Lounge renamed to The Phoenix Lounge (reopened April 16, 2026)
- T2 Lounge renamed to The Liffey Lounge (reopened February 8, 2025)
- East Lounge renamed to The Martello Lounge (reopened February 8, 2025)
- The 51st & Green Lounge (opened in 2017)
The origin of the names of the lounges is notable. Leffey is a name from the well-known Liffey River, which flows through Dublin. Martello is known from the Martello towers found around Dublin, which were built for defense in the 1800s. The Phoenix Lounge likely is derived from the Phoenix Park in Dublin. Finally, the 51st & Green Lounge (in the U.S. Preclearance area) is a nod to the United States (seeing Ireland as the 51st state), and Green meaning the Emerald Isle (Ireland).
Access
The new common-use lounge is open to the public and can be booked for €35 (~$41) per person. For those who travel frequently from or through Dublin (DUB) they also offer an annual membership card starting at €1,500 (~$1,754) per year, which gives access to all four airport-operated lounges as well as other perks like parking. The lounge has also partnered with Dragonpass but has not yet partnered with Priority Pass.
Closing Thoughts
In addition to the four airport-operated lounges, there are three airline-operated lounges (including one landside lounge operated by Aer Lingus).
