And just for confirmation. EK are using the BGS Premier Lounge at PEK for the forseeable future due to lounge refurbishment.

I used it earlier this year departing on QR J. There was a fair amount of buffet food which was not bad (but by no means gourmet). The Japanese style curry was very good.
The lounge was quite busy and they give out pagers to people waiting for a shower. There is an upstairs section which might be more peaceful, although does not have the restaurant section.

Menus change on the same schedule as other EK lounges.Otherwise it's just an upgrade to the newer design, really.

Emirates Lounge (FCO-Rome) Has it Re-Opened?
Can anyone confirm if the Emirates Lounge at FCO(Rome) has re-opened?
The Emirates Worldwide Lounge web page still states it's temporarily closed yet the call centre says it's open (it's just the call went in such a way I was given pause as to the reliability of that statement, so looking for supporting verification).
Any recent EK travellers through FCO who can advise?

Showers : pager handed out if full. Here again, the amenities seemed less qualitative than EK ones.
I remember the lounge to be quite dark due to the furniture / wall color, but it was just before a night flight.
Check your gate as it can be a little bit far ... or ... check lounge location before getting near your gate
(I had to walk all the way back to near security screening ...)

Yes, seems to be that way. Came across a post on another part of the web, dated late Oct this year, that said the EK lounge was still closed and that they were given access to the AZ Giotto lounge instead (which falls well below the EK lounge standard going off the reviews).
Have just decided to go late to the airport instead (looks like a hotel room will surpass hanging around FCO any longer than the minimum necessary), my own bad - should have picked Milan instead of Rome as my Italy airport hub point.

At the DXB F Lounge how does the a la carte dining work? Is the menu all day dining no matter the time of day or is their a set breakfast/lunch/dinner menus for the time of day? I assume the buffet is stocked to reflect the time of day and if so what time do things get changed over to the next meal?
