It's downstairs from the main departure area (once in the gate area, walk to the left to the small duty free store and then go down the stairs). It's next to a TAM "Gold" lounge.
Was there Monday evening, 8/27, and the TAM lounge in Terminal 2 was closed. UA had their sign back up on the SMILES VIP Lounge.
