Before I flew on ANA’s first class, I had the privilege to visit ANA’s Suite Lounge in HND’s international Terminal 3. This lounge is solely for ANA first class passengers and ANA mileage club Diamond status members. I was pretty impressed with what I saw—its a very modern lounge, with many nice accents and colors that help create a great ambiance and environment.
How To Access The ANA Suite Lounge In Haneda International Airport Terminal 3
This lounge has pretty strict requirements to access, which makes the experience all that more exclusive:
- First Class – One guest
- Diamond Service Members – One guest (must depart on the same flight as the primary member)
- ANA Million Miler Program – One guest (must depart on the same flight as the primary member)
What Are The ANA Suite Lounge’s Haneda International Airport Terminal 3 Hours?
The lounge is open from 5 AM until the departure of the final ANA operated flight in Terminal 3 on that same day.
Checking Into ANA Suite Lounge In Haneda International Airport Terminal 3
Once I walked through the doors of the Suite Lounge, I was immediately greeted by a very welcoming front desk lady who quickly scanned my boarding pass and passport. After a few seconds, she welcomed me into the lounge and told me take a left turn into the lounge.
Two staff standing at the end of the hall quickly ushered me over to one of the rooms and asked me if I wanted to sit near the window or in a more private booth. Since it was sunset, I was excited to look over the tarmac.
She also gave me a menu and asked if I wanted to order any drinks, which comprised of an array of decent quality champagnes, wines, and sake. I decided to start off with a glass of champagne, since it seemed like one of the most expensive items on the list.
Impressions Of The ANA Suite Lounge: Very Contemporary
The general room blended modern sophistication with a comforting feel, emphasizing a contemporary design using dark leather and rich wood accents.
There were several of these little private seating cubbies, which made for excellent napping spots or for spots where you could work on stuff privately. Additionally, you could find all types of other seating scattered throughout the lounge, including these little tables meant for larger parties to socialize.
The lounge was divided into two sides. This side that I was on had a darker feel to it and had a smaller hot buffet than the other side, which was more bright in comparison. I’ll showcase the food options in the next section.
Down past the private cubbies were a magazine area and additional dining seating that oversaw the tarmac. You can just how beautiful the sunset was that day.
Walking towards the other side of the lounge, there are individual private meeting rooms with desks and chairs. As you scroll through, you’ll notice the vibe at the other side lounge becomes much more airy and white versus the dark undertones we’ve seen.
There is also ample seating here as well, with many plush and comfortable chairs. The dining room also has nice stools with lots of lighting to help make the whole room bright.
The Food At The ANA Suite Lounge: A La Carte Sushi?!!
Ok, so prior to visiting this lounge, I had actually come in with very low expectations. I thought it was going to be busy and crowded, but that turned out to be the exact opposite. Furthermore, I thought the food was going to be mid at best, so I ate a sizable dinner in Tokyo right before coming to the lounge.
Unfortunately, the reviews I read lied to me (or, in actuality, I read the reviews for the ANA business class lounge). Hilariously, this lounge had some awesome food options.
Firstly, the main buffet side of the room not only had a bunch of great food and drink options readily on display, it also had a full a la carte menu. You could order anything ranging from udon to ANA’s special chicken curry to gyudon (beef on rice) and even sushi! I was shocked when I saw this—I had eaten so much before that I only ordered the sushi.
The worst part about the sushi was that it was good. The fish pieces were enormous and the variety was great. At that moment, I had never regretted eating so much food before.
Anyways, you were supposed to order food via a QR code, which would then direct you to a website where you could place your order. Unfortunately, the food was not delivered to you, so you had to go to the main kitchen to grab your food as it was being made.
On the other side of the lounge (the darker one), there was essentially the same food items as seen in the hot buffet at the main area. For instance, you could find little rice balls and various small desserts.
There was also a salad bar and a drinks machine where you could get water. Not displayed is a coffee machine.
You could also find their alcohol selection located here. Seemed like the “bar” was basically self service with plenty of hard alcs available.
This was definitely among one of the better shower suites I’ve seen, maybe just as good as the one in the Soho lounge. It was nicely designed, with excellent water pressure and Kose shampoos/body wash/conditioner (~$50/bottle).
There was also a toilet with a bidet, an air purifier, and fresh towels. I also appreciated the little amenity options provided, which even had a shower cap.
The Bathroom At The ANA Suite Lounge: Clean
I also briefly checked out the bathrooms at this lounge, which proved to be well supplied and clean. They really kept up the dark/black theme here, which made the bathroom a bit dark. However, I think that may be part of the strategy to make it easier to clean/maintain...
My Overall Rating Of The ANA Suite Lounge Haneda Terminal 3: 9/10
I rate lounges based on a few general criteria:
- Food Quality & Variety: 9/10
- Cleanliness: 10/10
- Interior Design: 10/10
- Unique Amenities: 8/10
I really enjoyed the darker aesthetic of this lounge, which generally matches the sleek, contemporary vibe that ANA pushes out for its most premium products. There is an awesome array of food, including a great a la carte menu with some high value items on there. The alcohol spread at this lounge is pretty good as well, with some decent alcohols that cost about $50/bottle.
I think the only thing that this lounge lacks is a wider range of unique amenities. I’ve seen massages, kids play rooms, and even sleeping rooms. That would be the final thing to push the needle forward to make this lounge a solid 10/10.
