I have a stay coming up in Abu Dhabi. I will arrive late evening, but my partner who lives in Abu Dhabi will check in before me. I believe hotel rules in general require the elite member to physically check in before lounge access can be given, so in theory my partner would not be able to access the lounge, thus leaving her somewhat perplexed. Has anybody had the same scenario of the other registered guest checking in first and either being granted or not being granted lounge access? Would it be worthwhile to contact my Ambassador?
