Here are a few photos from the third party Lounge Templehof at BER, taken in March. The space was so busy that unusually I could only manage two interior photos - one of the main buffet area (where options were decent enough) and the other of the quietest seating area around to the far right of the lounge.
The other main seating area was packed, but seemed to offer a variety of seating options, including a quiet seating area (which was anything but quiet), typical armchairs and semi-private high-backed sofas.
The only noteworthy feature of the lounge is the direct access it offers to private immigration for the non-Schengen gates, a really smart design feature that more European lounges could take heed of. Aside from this and a slightly elevated food selection, this is a downgrade in terms of comfort over BA's own Terraces lounge at TXL it effectively replaced.
i was there in September and the private immigration was closed. It was way more crowded. No wonder as several airlines use it (oneworld, sky team, etc.. ), and one can buy the access for 48€.
it was a bit of walk to the immigration and the gate we were boarding from.
it's open from 5am.
