Star Alliance arrivals lounge at LHR - OS access?

I've searched the forums but can find no recent information on this:

I'll be flying DXB-VIE-LHR next week in paid C class on Austrian, arriving in LHR T1 at 0815. I don't have a Star status card (yet) - will my OS long-haul C class ticket get me access to the T1 Star arrivals lounge to get a shower?

Many thanks for any advice.

No, it's never been an arrival lounge for OS.

Ok, many thanks for quick (if disappointing) answer! Clearly I interpreted the expression "Star Alliance Arrivals Lounge" too literally.

Is there such a thing? I thought all Star Alliance lounges are departure lounges. Some airlines have arrival lounges for its own passengers, but not for Star Alliance.

At one time staralliance.com (mistakenly) listed it as a *A lounge and since it is used by a few Star Alliance airlines it is often referred to as the Star Alliane Arrivals Lounge.

I believe the closest to matching this description is LHR. Lounge in T1 Arrivals is offered to UA, SA and US passengers.
