As I was among the first off the aircraft, I quickly cleared transit security and made my way to the Eva Air business class lounge located on the second level of the Taipei airport.
The lounge is divided into two separate areas, The Star and The Infinity. Business class passengers have access to both areas, but if you’re a Star Alliance Gold member and flying in coach, you’ll only have access to the The Star.
Eva Air Infinity Lounge
Of all the lounges I’ve been to, perhaps there is no lounge that is quite uniquely designed like the Eva Air Infinity Lounge.
Lining the ceiling are twinkling lights designed to look like stars and the centerpiece is a tree shape like pillar with continuously changing neon nights.
The entire lounge makes you feel like you’re in a futuristic spaceship set in the year 2050, with lots of florescent lighting and lines that run across the wall to complete the decor.
The food selection was quite vast, with plenty of hot & cold food items to choose from.
I ended up grabbing a few local Taiwanese snacks, all of which were delicious.
The lounge also has a Movenpick freezer filled with tubs of ice cream and a healthy selection of various wine and liquor.
After grabbing some snacks, I decided to take a quick shower. The lounge has an electronic key card system, so you’ll need to first go to the main counter.
The shower room was spotless and interestingly enough had three different types of shower nozzles to choose from, including a three pronged nozzle that is designed to massage your back while showering!
There were also quite a few amenities available for use, and you’re even provided a pair of extra slippers.
Overall for a business class lounge I found the shower service provided to be fantastic, although during the busy morning hours usually there is a long wait time, so I’d advise you to ask for a shower room immediately upon entering the lounge.
After my shower, I headed to The Star lounge to take a quick peek.
Compared to the Infinity the décor is much more traditional, with muted colors and blue & beige leather sofa chairs placed throughout the lounge.
The food options are pretty much identical to the ones at the Infinity Lounge. I was also told there are also showers available.
If you’re a Star Alliance Gold member, you’re not losing much, and business travelers may actually prefer the more traditional looking Star Lounge.
