It's an airport lounge. That's all it is. Whether it's the best in the world is debatable. I do not think it is.
In any case, a lounge is a place where you spend time before or between flights if you really can't think of anything better to do. A place to while away the time, not a destination to visit for its own sake. You can sit, eat, drink, shower, read, go online, maybe have a massage . . . all pretty mundane activities that can be enjoyed at a zillion other places. Lounges may offer them "for free", but the product quality is in most cases mediocre at best.
Having said that, opinions differ. If spending time in airport lounges is your thing, then by all means go for it.
