An arrivals lounge is a dedicated airport facility located after customs and baggage claim where premium passengers can shower, eat breakfast, and press clothes before heading into the city.
After flying a red-eye across the Atlantic and landing in London or Frankfurt at 6:00 AM, you likely cannot check into your hotel for several hours.
