I have a flight LIS-ZRH-NBO which requires a 15 layover in ZRH. I will be staying in the transit hotel in ZRH as luggage will be checked thru NBO.
Question: I am 100% sure I can visit the lounge in and out during my 15 our layover? e.g. get a drink and grab a bite till the lounge closes? And which lounge would work great for this idea?

If you're holding SEN/HON status, access is allowed according to the rules.
If you're staying within Non_Schengen, you get the pick between E and D lounge. D lounge is next to the transit hotel, but I'd suggest E lounge since it's much better overall.

Technically no (ZRH has a same-day, not 24hrs before the flight policy for lounge access), but you might get admitted when asking.

Have never tried to take anybody for a ride, as I was usually travelling alone or with a companion who also had an F-ticket.

A lounges still closed as of today. Went to the E lounge in the early afternoon, it's basically empty! It's an amazing lounge.
I'm also a visa national and they let me through without problems. No queues or questioning at all (although there were rolled eyes as I said I was "flying to" the E lounges
Was stamped in and out also. So for visa nationals without multiple entry visas this is not possible to do, the rest should be fine. The passport control workers are well aware of the lounge game.

by the way: the aspire lounge which is offered as an alternative to the closed swiss lounges is a joke. it is far too small to take even a part of the visitors of the regular swiss lounges. was there before easter around 12 h and it was almost full. just got the last 2 bar stools
