Taipei Airport in Taiwan is not one of those facilities iconic such as Beijing Daxing or Singapore Changi, but if the shell is not iconic it is on the inside that has proven to be truly unique instead.
In this article:
It's a real treasure hunt, including gates transformed into works of art, panoramic terraces and unique lounges. In this context, one could not miss a Plaza Premium Lounge, the only independent hall of the airport and only lounge open H24 where I spent 6 hours waiting for set off on my hunt for a million Eurobonus miles.
Location
We are located at Terminal 1, the two terminals are connected by a long walkway or automatic train. Past the literature wall and after admiring the A8 gate, there is a long tunnel (called Garden Wall) that leads to the area that houses several lounges. Here there is a China Airlines lounge, the Starlux lounge, and precisely this Plaza Premium lounge.
Access
Like all lounges in this netework, it is accessible to all American Express Platinum holders, Priority Pass holders and several other similar cards. The special feature is, as mentioned above that it is the only room open h24, China Airlines' two lounges close around 11 p.m. to reopen at 5 a.m.
The hall
It looks small and maybe it is, but as is often the case it fills up, empties out and so on according to aircraft departures. It is as true here as in any other corner of the world. I entered a few minutes after 11 p.m. and left around 6 a.m. And I saw at least 3 waves of access.
It is divided into 4 rooms. The central part houses a beehive of armchairs, a popular solution in lounges because it gives privacy and comfort.
Beyond the beehive is the food area.
On either side are the two lounging areas, set up in a mirrored fashion. Couches and armchairs, lots of power outlets, but little chance to isolate yourself unless you take over a sofa, there are no prohibitions here anyway.
Food&Beverage
The attendant when I came in explained to me that at 11 a.m. dinner is unpacked and breakfast is served from 5 a.m., basically overnight there are only snacks, salad, the inevitable Asian soups and drinks.
Basically at reduced service there is more stuff than in an average European lounge.
In conclusion
I didn't find it bad at all, of course I would have preferred to spend the night in the capsule hotel in the terminal, but I would have had to go out and come back in, so going through immigration checks and everything twice. In the end, I didn't spend a euro and was able to work quietly all night long, so much in this challenge I sleep in the plane without any problem.
There are many other lounges in the T1 area, but they are closed at night so this is worth an extra point in the final evaluation of this lounge.

Pro
- Open h24
- Gastronomic proposal
Against
- No view
- Small to be the only one open h24
