QR Al Safwa First Class Lounge
Well, I promised.
Risked my life -- but here it is:
1. Opening:
Fully ready! Except for some pictures that await framing, and [cultural] artifacts that need to be placed. Expected before November 2015(!)
2. Location:
Basically opposite Al Mourjan, across the big space with the yellow bear.
Also immediately accessible from the departures area, via an escalator directly from First Class check-in, after immigration and security
2. Sleeping:
Yes... a couple of comfortable rooms; single and double occupancy, on an availability basis
3. Spa:
Yes -- amazing
4. Access:
Forget QR Privilege Club Platinum, OW Emerald or any other status:
ACCESS IS FOR FIRST CLASS ON QR METAL ONLY!
Good news: Arriving on a >5 hours First Class Flight on QR, and connecting to QR Business gives access to Al Safwa.
It is all behind this:

I'm going to be mad if it opens this week! I switched my QR F flight to an Etihad one since I was tired of waiting.
Thanks OP for the news, btw.
