When I stepped into this lounge, I had a feeling of déjà vu, and indeed it was.
In this article:
This lounge before it was a premium plaza, sign that then moved and the location was taken over by a new operator who redid it from scratch and I must say that aesthetically it is one of the most elegant and beautiful independent lounges I have ever seen.
Location
We are located satellite of T1 of the Malaysian capital's airport. Several lounges are located on the upper level of the terminal's central plaza, the one from which the various piers that house the gates branch off.

The largest is, of course, Malaysian Airlines, but there are at least 5 other lounges all accessible with Priority Pass, this one is slightly set back from the others. In total, there are 3 Global Lounges that I have seen within a short distance of each other. And the feeling is that net of opening hours, this is the one that does h24, the services inside are similar.
Access
Me I got in simply by showing my Turkish Airlines business class ticket., but as usual in addition to the agreements with the carriers you only need to show your Priority Pass to get access to this lounge.
The lounge
The room is beautiful, less than two years old and the only thing in common with the old Premium Plaza is the view of the plaza, Just look at the pictures in my review to understand this.
The decor is elegant, not looking at all like an airport waiting room, but like the lobby of a luxury hotel.
There are different seats, those closer to the window with armchairs perfect for working with a spectacular view, but there are also seats with more privacy, or more comfortable situations if you are traveling with friends.
The food area has a panoramic screen that illuminates the whole area, but the play of light and colors are really beautiful throughout the lounge.
Food & Beverage
Of course going in early in the morning and with very few guests helped to find it at its peak, but I doubt it is ever messy.
There is a bar counter with a bartender.
An open kitchen for noodle preparation.
The hot buffet is all covered and restocked.
There are several corners with soft drinks and espresso machines.
Services
There is a reading room, a small room to have a quiet meeting, and then there is the golf simulator.
You can pay to play the simulator while you wait for your flight, something you can also do at other lounges at this airport and a few others around the world.
In conclusion
Pure envy, wish we had such a lounge in Italy. Beautiful, neat, with an open kitchen. All things we dream of (or almost dream of) in the old continent.
