There&#039;s also a seating area at the back of the lounge. The last renovation was in 2011, and the lounge now reflects SWISS&#039;s global design concept. I find the white sandstone and brown leather armchairs both very fitting and elegant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/sitzbereich-mit-braunen-ledersesseln.jpeg\" alt=\"Seating area with brown leather armchairs\" class=\"wp-image-18857\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/sitzbereich-mit-braunen-ledersesseln.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/sitzbereich-mit-braunen-ledersesseln-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/sitzbereich-mit-braunen-ledersesseln-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/sitzbereich-mit-braunen-ledersesseln-1200x800.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Seating area with brown leather armchairs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The seating area at the back of the lounge consists of several brown leather armchairs. Each armchair is separated by a small side table with power outlets and a lamp. There&#039;s also a long table with bar stools by the window, offering a view of the apron and the gate. Overall, it can get a bit crowded when the lounge isn&#039;t very large. Furthermore, the free Wi-Fi was unfortunately rather slow, and we frequently experienced connection drops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/sitzbereich-mit-blick-auf-das-vorfeld.jpeg\" alt=\"Seating area overlooking the apron\" class=\"wp-image-18858\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/sitzbereich-mit-blick-auf-das-vorfeld.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/sitzbereich-mit-blick-auf-das-vorfeld-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/sitzbereich-mit-blick-auf-das-vorfeld-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/sitzbereich-mit-blick-auf-das-vorfeld-1200x800.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Seating area overlooking the apron<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Was_gibt_es_in_der_SWISS_Lounge_Chicago_zu_essen_und_zu_trinken?\">What food and drinks are available in the SWISS Lounge Chicago?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The buffet was sparsely stocked.
