The entrance to the Apricot Business Lounge is behind an elevator inside the Duty Free cosmetics shop, near Gates 17-18 in Terminal 2. It can be easy to miss, but once you're in the lounge, you'll find a bright space with a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and great views over the taxiways and parked aircraft.
The buffet serves popular Vietnamese dishes alongside international options, such as congee with toppings, fried fish, pasta, sticky rice, a self-serve noodle soup station - with broth and a choice of toppings set up as its own standalone counter. A make-your-own sandwich station and a cold spread of salads, fresh fruits, and light desserts round things out. Hot drinks including Vietnamese coffee, as well as canned sodas, juices, beer, and wine are available.
A massage chair can be found in a partitioned area away the main seating area, and 2 shower rooms are available within each of the restrooms.
This lounge is ideal for travelers seeking a proper Vietnamese meal and a shower before a long-haul departure from Ho Chi Minh City - provided they know to look for the elevator inside the duty-free shop.
