Plaza Premium Lounge Heathrow Terminal 4 Review

If you’re flying from Terminal 4 and wondering whether the Plaza Premium Lounge Heathrow Terminal 4 is worth your time, this review will help you decide.

I’ve visited the lounge to see how it compares on food, seating, atmosphere and overall value — especially for Priority Pass and paid entry guests.

I visited using my Priority Pass membership. My Standard Plus membership includes 10 lounge visits so my lounge visit only cost £18.30 – great value for money compared to booking direct.

✔️ Instant Verdict – Plaza Premium Lounge

The Plaza Premium is a good lounge if you are looking for somewhere nicer to relax before your flight. The work pods might suit those working on tablets or phones too. There is a nice family lounge, mediation/prayer rooms and showers.

Best for: Priority Pass holders, solo travellers, couples, families, people on layovers

Plaza Premium Lounge Heathrow T4 – Facilities and Amenities

• I visited in the middle of the afternoon.
• The lounge was very busy, partly I suspect because the Blush Lounge was not accepting anyone other than airline bookings.
• I wasn’t able to check out the meditation rooms as both of them had the doors shut
• Likewise the showers were also in use

Plaza Premium Lounge Terminal 4 – Food and Drink

Everything in the Plaza Premium Lounge was on a central buffet – you help yourself to all drinks and food.

Drinks

• There were hot drinks machines located in the central buffet area offering coffees and hot water for tea
• There was beer and wine to help yourself to
• There were also flavoured waters such as cucumber water on the buffet

Cold Food

There wasn’t a huge selection of cold food. As you can see from the photo there were some sandwiches (coronation chicken), cheese and crackers and jellies.

There were also some small salad items and cake bites.

Plaza Premium Hot Food

The food in this lounge was a bit limited compared to what I was expecting given the size of the lounge. This may have been because the lounge was so busy – the staff were constantly clearing tables and topping up the buffet.

On the day I visited the hot dishes were;

• Pasta
• Vegetable Curry
• Chicken Stew
