Depending on which class you are in , or If you have Star Gold status
the choices in FRA
are : LH SEN Lounge, LH Business Lounge or UA RCC
SQ does not have an SKL Lounge there.

Stay away from the RCC dump.
It's too bad SQ doesn't contract for a real First Class lounge in FRA.

Thanks. I am *G but staying in FRA so no connecting flight. Guess it's worth asking at the LH Arrivals lounge but I'll expect to be turned away and be pleasatly surprised if not

Personal Choice
This is, as in all such things, a matter of personal individual choice.
SQ25/26 always have the aircraft parked way out at the "C" Gates, which at FRA represents an "Extra Security Zone" for all non-LH flights To/From the US. Because of this, I always found the RCC more convenient than the LH Senator lounge. The F side of the RCC was very comfortable and usually empty so getting a shower was never a problem in transit.
Conversely, at peak hours, The Senator lounge(s) are completely full, often with nowhere to sit. To take a shower, there are only a few cubicles so it is necessary to put your name in a book and join a (Frequently long) queue.
Anyway, the real solution when flying out of FRA in F is to fly LH/F and use the separate LH/F Terminal.

The RCC at FRA has been closed, as mentioned by other posters here.

Agree it's extra hassle having to clear security to go to the lounge, and a bit of a hike from the SQ gate as well. Nice to get some exercise on that long trip though.
