Iberia's new Sorolla Emerald Lounge at Madrid Airport
Iberia expands its premium offer at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport with the new Sorolla Emerald Lounge, located in Terminal 4 just after security. The space occupies 800 square meters, can accommodate 128 passengers and is designed for those traveling on short and medium-haul flights with boarding from areas H, J, K and M.
Access is reserved for Iberia Platinum, Platinum Prime, Infinita, Infinita Prime and Singular customers, as well as passengers with oneworld Emerald status. The airport lounge is open from 05:30 to 23:00 and offers private areas for working, relaxation areas, showers and suites dedicated to rest.
Spanish cuisine and 360° bar
Gastronomy is one of the central elements of the new lounge. The offer changes throughout the day, from breakfast with pastries, tomato bread, hot dishes, yoghurt and vegan options, to tapas, Iberian products and dishes inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. Desserts include traditional recipes such as crème brulee, almond cake and milk rice, while the dessert counter also includes typical Madrid violets.
At the center of the space is a 360° circular bar, with bartender, bartender and cocktail maker service, flanked by a selection of wines and champagnes. Iberia also plans to use the lounge for gastronomic events and initiatives dedicated to the different Spanish regions.
More privacy before your flight
Particular attention has been paid to individual comfort. In addition to the common areas, the Emerald Lounge Sorolla in Madrid Airport (MAD) has separate spaces and suites for rest, designed for those who want to work or relax in greater tranquility before departure.
The furniture design is signed by the Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, National Design Award 2025. Materials, lighting, acoustics and layout of the rooms have been designed to create a more private experience than traditional lounges. The name pays homage to the painter Joaquín Sorolla and continues Iberia's tradition of dedicating its lounges to protagonists of Spanish culture, as is already the case with the Dalí and Velázquez lounges.
