Showers and Lounges at Copenhagen Airport

CPH has four lounges, on both the Schengen and non-Schengen sides, and one of them has showers. This guide covers what each offers and the shower options outside the lounges.

The lounges

The Pearl Lounge is the largest: the former Eventyr Lounge, renovated and reopened in 2026 as the largest Pearl Lounge anywhere, with runway views, Nordic design, capacity for more than 180 guests, and showers. The Carlsberg Aviator Lounge serves the non-Schengen C pier near Gate C26, open from 5:00 am into the evening, without showers. The Danske Bank Aviator Business Lounge near the B gates has Danish-designed workspace for business travellers, and the CPH Apartment is a smaller premium space. Entry works via airline status, lounge programmes or paid access, capacity permitting.

Terminals 2 and 3 share a single transit zone, so any Schengen-side lounge is reachable from either terminal’s gates; the C-pier lounge is beyond passport control.

Showers

Airside, the Pearl Lounge has showers. Landside, Regus Express in Terminal 3 has offered showers alongside its coworking space, without lounge entry. Two minutes away, the Clarion’s Ni’mat spa, with a saltwater pool and steam bath, has admitted non-guests on weekdays for a fee, an option for a long layover. The Comfort Hotel and the other walk-to hotels have rooms for the night before an early departure.

If the lounges are full

The lounges fill during the morning peak and the late-afternoon Schengen peak, and paid entry is subject to capacity. If entry is refused, the quiet zones along the A and C piers are free, and the food halls in the shared transit zone sell coffee and food. A room at one of the walk-to hotels is the only seat and shower that can be booked in advance.
