About this location
Soho Lounge occupies level 4 of Terminal 8, one floor above the retail cluster near Alchemy and the Admirals Club. It opens at 4:15am, earlier than every level-3 shop in this set, catching the very first wave of departures before the 5am storefronts downstairs even unlock. Closing at 11:30pm, it shuts half an hour before Longchamp, Marc Jacobs, Montblanc and the other level-3 shops that run until midnight. Being a floor above the shopping level, it's the option for anyone who wants to sit down before a flight rather than browse on the way to a gate.
Other options in Terminal 8
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
