My review of BA’s Concorde Room, LHR T5

One of the main driving causes for my Bahrain trip was to try out BA’s Concorde Room. As it is only open to First Class passengers and Gold Guest List members, I haven’t had a chance to visit yet, and I need to change that.

BA’s First Wing is awesome, but sadly I’m saying goodbye to it as being downgraded to Silver 🙁

Through the First Wing you’ll see the Galleries First Lounge, keep on walking and exit on your left, and you’ll now see the Concorde Room.

I like the logo.

Once inside, well, it doesn’t feel much different to the Galleries First Lounge.

The bar is fine, but not as impressive as the ones at the Clubhouse and United Club. One big selling point though is the free-flowing Laurent Perrier Grand Siecle, so arrive early if you are a fan!

As a proper first class lounge, there is a dining room (restaurant) where you can sit down and enjoy a meal.

I don’t find anything aspiring in the breakfast menu though. I found the lunch menu online as well and it’s a bit boring too.

The food is ok. Service is really slow though (and there aren’t many guests) so it might not work if you are in a hurry.

There is a terrace bar if you fancy more light.

Help yourself to the cheeseboard, charcuterie and drinks.

There are two cabana rooms but by reservation only so I didn’t bother to visit. From the pictures from online reports they look ok.

My first visit to the Concorde Room didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Like BA’s First Class cabin, there’s nothing wrong with it, but there’s nothing outstanding either. As I’m now a lowly Silver I will find myself at one of the Galleries lounge next time, but to be honest I don’t feel missing out.
