The lounge has a capacity for 245 people, approximately 100 more than the previous lounge. Designed by Studioilse led by Ilse Crawford, the new lounge helps passengers feel relaxed with the senses engaged focusing on wellbeing as a core principle. Warm, natural materials such as wood and stone as well as softened acoustics and warm lighting are used in the lounge.

The lounge gives you sort of a living room feel rather than a traditional airport lounge. The Taipei Lounge is the first to feature the new Solo Chair which comprises a spacious seat designed with high partitions on either side to give you extra privacy, a side table, reading lamp and a coat hook.
