Piemonte Lounge

Near gates 6–9 in T1, this is a seat, not a destination

The Piemonte Lounge sits airside in Turin T1, on the upper level by the panoramic elevators and spiral stairs above gates 6–9, and regulars treat it as a marginally calmer holding pen rather than a place worth arriving early for.

Hours run roughly 05:00–21:00 daily, with access via paid entry or standard lounge memberships, so it covers the first wave of departures out of TRN as well as most evening flights.

Physically, the room is small for a contract lounge serving gates 6–9, and multiple reviews call out that seats are rare at busy times, so don’t expect to spread out with a laptop and an extra chair just for your bag.

Catering is lean: LoungeReview reports only snacks plus basic drinks like soft drinks, house wine and beer, and standard liquor, and several guests say the food looked tired enough that they skipped it entirely.

Replenishment is the real weak point, with one TripAdvisor reviewer saying nothing was topped up during a full 2‑hour stay, so if you walk in after a rush you may find only picked‑over pastries and empty platters.

Staff get mixed reviews; one blunt comment noted that the barman smiled once in two hours and only at female flight attendants, which lines up with the overall “functional but not exactly warm” vibe here.

Wi‑Fi is advertised inside the Piemonte Lounge, but frequent flyers on FlyerTalk and LoungeReview barely mention it, which usually means it’s either forgettable or just good enough for email rather than streaming work calls.

Regulars with Priority Pass or airline-issued access often eat downstairs in the main T1 concourse, then pop up here near gates 6–9 for a quick drink and a slightly quieter seat 20–40 minutes before boarding.

Old hands who remember the former TRN “shoe box” lounge call Piemonte “less awful” but still say it’s not worth adjusting your airport arrival time for, especially if you’re hoping for a hot buffet or barista coffee.

Practical tip: after security in T1, head straight toward gates 6–9 and look up for the spiral stairs/elevators; if you glance at the food spread and see only crumbs, backtrack to the main concourse for a real meal before your flight.
