The SkyTeam Lounge at Vancouver International Airport underwent a major refurbishment that wrapped up in June 2025, covering 528 square meters in the international terminal's west wing near Gate 53. New furniture, a reworked layout, and dedicated zones for relaxing versus getting work done replaced the older design - worth knowing if you're going off older reviews, since some of the lounge's harsher pre-renovation ratings online no longer reflect what's there today.
One thing that hasn't changed: it's open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which is unusual even among international lounges and genuinely useful for anyone on a red-eye or an early-morning departure.
What's on offer
The lounge serves fresh, seasonal food across breakfast, lunch, and dinner sittings, so the menu actually shifts with the time of day rather than running one static spread around the clock. There's comfortable seating with charging points built in, shower facilities for longer connections, and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout.

A note on reviews
If you search around, you'll find some dated, unflattering reviews of this lounge from before the 2025 renovation. Post-renovation feedback and the airport's own materials point to a meaningfully upgraded space, so it's worth judging it on current photos and recent visits rather than older write-ups.
Is it worth visiting?
Between the 24-hour access and the post-renovation refresh, this is one of the more practical lounges on this list for anyone connecting through Vancouver at an odd hour - it's simply there, and open, when a lot of other lounges aren't.
