I agree. I flew out of IAD recently and went to the Polaris Lounge before moving to the SEN Lounge shortly before departure. The British Airways lounge at IAD is currently closed and BA passengers are using LH SEN and Business lounges. Interestingly there is a report with several photos of the SEN Lounge in
this post in the BA forum. I only managed to take one photo of the SEN Lounge as it was very crowded.

Does that also apply to if I am flying Brussels Airlines in business? The Amex loungefinder says it works for flying Lufthansa Group in business class, but then does not name Brussels.
If you are flying in Business you can also go to the Polaris Lounge if you have the time.

Having heard about the state of the LH lounges at IAD I decided to go to the Polaris Lounge instead. I’m glad I did. From the main terminal it’s two stops on AeroTrain to C concourse where the Polaris Lounge is located. It was fairly quiet when I arrived before 3pm. It became busier around 4pm with passengers for UA international departures between 5 and 7pm. Coming back to B gates took a little longer because B is the last stop on AeroTrain coming from C but I did it in 17 minutes from lounge to lounge.
