The Asiana Airlines business class lounges at ICN are in the Priority Pass lounge network. Access to the more than 900 Priority Pass lounges is free with a number of premium credit cards including, Citi Prestige, American Express Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve cards among others.
I was flying business class on Korean Air from Bangkok, Thailand to New York, NY and had access to the Korean Air Prestige Lounge at ICN. Instead of using the Korean Air lounge I took the opportunity to visit the Asiana business class lounge for the first time.
This lounge is easy to find. It is located in the Main Terminal near gate 28. (There is another Asiana Priority Pass lounge near gate 119 on the A Concourse.)
It is one level up from the concourse. 
After getting off the escalator proceed to the desk where several agents are available for check in and to answer any questions. The lounge is open from 5:00am to midnight daily.
There are seating and dining areas to the left and right of the check-in desk. Immediately to the right of the desk is a luggage storage area.
Business Center
This is just past the lockers.
.
A more private business center is located near the rear of the lounge on this side.
Seating Areas
There are very stylish and comfortable seating areas on both sides of the check-in desk. Each area has views of the tarmac and runways.
The left side of the lounge offers very nice seating as well.
There are also private seating on this side of the lounge.
The lounge also has private areas with massage chairs with runway views.
Dining Areas
Each side has its own dinning area with a large buffet.
Each side has a seating area for dining.
For breakfast, the dining service consisted of cereals, juices, tea and coffee, pastries fruit and a couple of hot entrees. The part I liked best was the station where a chef was making waffles on order.
Showers and Bathroom
For passengers originating or connecting on long international flights, one of the most important features of a lounge is showers. A shower before a long flight always relaxes the body and improves the attitude.
This lounge gets an A+ for its showers. I’m unable to name any first class lounges that have showers that are any nicer. In fact, many first class lounges that I have visited have showers that are inferior.
The shower has a sink, phone, hair dryer, personal amenities, shaving mirror and high-tech asian toilet. The personal amenities include all of the items one would expect o find in the locker room of an expensive health club or spa.
Shaving, dental and personal hygiene amenities
The men’s bathroom was also very well done.
Overall Impression
I really liked the Asiana Business Class Lounge. ICN is a terrific airport for Priority Pass lounges. There are eight of them. I did a lounge crawl once (post is pending) and rate the Asiana lounges are the best overall. I would choose this lounge even over the Korean Air First Class lounge here. Anyone who travels internationally at least a few times a year should get a credit card that provides free Priority Pass lounge access for yourself and guests especially if you fly in economy class.
