And, at CDG it wasn't even a "day room" -- it was a conference room with a large round table, various projectors and other A/V stuff, and a shower off the en-suite bathroom. I have never before or since seen a conference room with a shower! That said, it was a nice benefit when arriving in Paris at 7 am, and one could not check into the hotel room until 2 pm or later.

It seemed pretty "casual" a year and a half ago when I last used it. The first person approached didn't know what to do so she sought out a supervisor. My son and I had to wait about 45 minutes for it to become available; I don't think there's a way or reserving space ahead of time. It's possible the wait could end up much longer, making it not a viable option.

The last time I was there, the shower was horribly clogged and the water was flowing over the shower tub! Hopefully it has been fixed! 
Good amenity though, hopefully it continues on.

Is there an EDI (Edinburg Scotland) Arrivals lounge
Flying United next week to EDI in J. Is there an arrivals lounge available or hotel nearby to take a shower? I'm arriving at 7:30AM and I can't check in to my hotel until 2PM.
Sure would like to cleanup and then go to hotel and drop bags and do some sightseeing.
Any help is appreciated.

Check with your hotel, see if they will take an early arrival request -- I have gone some to agree to 10AM.
