Amenities
The Silverkris Lounge Incheon has some interesting amenities to enjoy. An interesting one was the ability to use an LED mask, for any skincare junkies out there.
Shower suites were available to refresh yourself after a long flight. Additionally, there was a nursing room for parents traveling with a little one.
If you’d like to refresh your outerwear as well, you can have your coat steam-cleaned. Not a bad option after being coughed on by countless airport-goers.
Experience
I arrived at 6:40am, shortly after the lounge opened. It started picking up by 7:30am, but never become too rowdy during my visit. Based on the layout, I imagine it would feel quite cramped if filled to near capacity.
The staff was attentive, answering any questions I had and constantly surveying the area for discarded plates and cutlery. Service was provided in both Korean and English.
They made a much-appreciated announcement when the boarding for my flight to Singapore got delayed by ten minutes. Cool! Ten more minutes to enjoy the lounge and free sustenance.
Design & Layout
Deep blues, warm pinks, gold, and beige colored the lounge. Floral accents echoed throughout, notably on the high-back armchairs and glass paneling welcoming you at the entrance.
The Silverkris Lounge Incheon felt open and airy since the walls didn’t go all the way up to the ceiling. The huge wall of windows also made the lounge feel bigger and provided an excellent view of the tarmac for plane spotting.
You’ll find a mixture of seating styles. You may opt for one of the tall chairs by the windows or a short easy-chair for more comfort. Perhaps you’ll congregate with a small group in the benched table seating while the serious business types do some work in the individual booth-cubicle things. And, of course, you have the classic high-back Singapore Airlines armchairs.
Outlets were everywhere, near every seat. I don’t think anyone would have a problem charging their devices.
Food & Drink
The food on offer included both hot and cold items, a salad bar, an assortment of breads, and an espresso machine. The dish placards displayed vague allergen markings.
My favorites were the sautéed mushrooms and the hash browns, with a special shout out to the roti bread. (What can I say? I like beige foods.) Other hot selections included chicken curry and scrambled eggs.
A full bar sat in the center of the lounge for both crafted espresso and alcoholic beverages. A personal downside was that there was no non-dairy milk or decaf coffee.
Location
You’ll find the Silverkris Lounge Incheon in Terminal 1. It’s near Gate 29 on the next floor up. You can use the escalator across from the Korea Traditional Cultural Experience Centre to get up there.

Overall Silverkris Lounge Incheon Review
I’m quite satisfied with my visit to the Silverkris Lounge Incheon. I was able to comfortably get some work done before my flight while enjoying some hot food and coffee. Outlets were plentiful were charging. The giant windows let in a lot of light and (literally) brightened the atmosphere.
A few downsides – I think the lounge could feel crowded during peak hours. The seating was arranged effectively for the space, but the lounge footprint itself wasn’t very big.
While I was glad to see a private nursing room, I didn’t see any areas specifically catering to children. The vibe was definitely for business travelers – folks traveling independently or perhaps with a plus one. Families with young children may not find comfortable places to sit, depending on the time of their visit.
