Hello🖐️🖐️ Today, I’m going to share my experience with Matina Lounge, one of the most famous lounges at Incheon International Airport. I think I visit this lounge about 3 times a year, and I’ve been realizing that the number of people using it has increased a lot since it’s now possible to use the lounge just by issuing a debit card in Korea. Due to the large number of people, I sometimes use Sky Hub or airline lounges instead, but still, Matina Lounge has the most delicious food, so I will visit it first if possible. Let me introduce it in detail.
Introduction to Incheon Airport Matina Lounge
Located in Terminal 1 at Incheon International Airport, the Matina Loungeis operated by Walkerhill Hotel and is known for its delicious and varied food options👍 Terminal 1 is located in the duty-free area after passing through immigration and has two locations, one on the east side and one on the west side.

- East Lounge: located on Level 4 opposite Gate 11 / open from 7am to 10pm

Recently, travel cards are being promoted and issued by various banks and credit card companies in Korea, and these cards often include lounge access after meeting a certain number of points, which is why the lines were always long whenever I visited : )
In front of the Matina Lounge is the Transit Hotel, which is operated by the same Walkerhill Hotels.
You can usually enter the Matina Lounge with The Lounge app, PP card, and various card promotions. You can get a 30% discount for yourself or free admission for one companion by using your card’s promotion, and you can also save more if you purchase a ticket in advance.

Matina Lounge food and dining
It’s quite crowded inside as it’s usually full, so if your goal is to relax and not eat, I’d recommend another lounge. Since it is operated by Walkerhill Hotel, there are a lot of food options and they are delicious. There was also an introduction to the executive chef, Daegeun Yoon👍👍👍.
If you look at the food, the overall variety is quite large and the quality is good👍 Salads are also prepared in various ways, so those who want to eat vegetarian or simply eat can be satisfied, and as a lounge at Incheon Airport, there is also a bibimbap corner, so you can have a delicious Korean meal before departure.
There are usually about 4 types of hot food, but there are always chicken and fried rice, and there are various types of fried food, meat, and other foods such as skewers, tteokbokki, bread, and cup noodles.
For dessert, there are cakes, puddings, and a wide variety of fruits, so you can have your cake and eat it too.
No meal would be complete without a drink or alcoholic beverage, so you’ll find everything from coffee to sodas, fruit juices, beer, and wine.
I think the Matina Lounge is popular among many people because it offers such a wide variety of food, and the food is not only delicious, but also delicious👍 It’s my favorite lounge except for the Matina Gold Lounge, which is always crowded, so it’s a little difficult to relax before boarding a flight, but it’s a delicious place to eat.
Lounge Facilities
There are showers inside the lounge, which you can reserve at the desk in advance and use for a certain time. There are also lockers available, and you can use the computers in the business corner to print for free👍 I remember forgetting to print something when I went to the US, and I printed it in the lounge lol.
Overall Review
Matina Lounge is the most famous and popular airport lounge at Incheon International Airport👍 It is operated by Walkerhill Hotel, and people prefer it because it has a lot of food options and tastes good. However, lately, the lounge has been very crowded with long waiting times due to the high number of customers, so I recommend coming to the airport with plenty of time to spare.
