Flying through Lima is about to get more pleasant for passengers with Priority Pass and LoungeKey memberships as Airport Dimensions is set to open the world’s largest The Club lounge and an all-new sleeping facility at Jorge Chavez International Airport (LIM).

Beginning in January 2025, two first-of-kind spaces are coming to South America: the Sleep n’ Fly sleep solution and the largest-ever The Club lounge.

With two additional spaces set to open in 2026, Lima is set to become the inaugural location for a new concept that promises to enhance traveler comfort and convenience.

First Sleep ‘n Fly in South America

For the first time outside the Middle East, the sleep ‘n fly concept will offer travelers flying through Lima a premium space to unwind, refresh, and recharge before their flights.

The facility, spanning 4,600 square feet, is situated on the landside of the main international and domestic terminal. It can accommodate up to 92 guests, who have the option to reserve a sleeping space for a duration ranging from two hours to a full night.

Designed for every type of traveler—from solo adventurers to families—sleep ‘n fly features flexible booking options from two hours to an entire night—an excellent option for those passengers traveling with lengthy overnight connections and for those who prefer to stay within the airport’s facilities instead of venturing to a nearby or city-center hotel.

The facility includes four new amenities that are sure to make overnight layovers much more comfortable: FelxiSuites, Nap Pods, Family Cabins and Lounge Lite Alcove Seating.

According to Airport Dimensions, the FlexiSuites come with zero-gravity reclining seats inspired by Business Class airline seating. Typical features like wireless charging and storage compartments will also be available.

The Nap Pods, completely redesigned for single travelers, can transform from a seat to a full-flat bed.

For those traveling with little ones, the Family Cabins come with plenty of space for up to four guests—allowing families to unwind during long overnight layovers.

Lastly, the alcoves are configured with two-person booths with seating of up to 19 people. Airport Dimension says this area is ideal for quick rests or light work while waiting for a flight.

Travelers can also freshen up in one of four spacious shower rooms. Stays start at $23 for a two-hour booking, with reservations available at sleep-n-fly.com.

Peru’s Ultimate Airport Lounge

Airport Dimensions is also opening its largest The Club facility in Lima, marking its South American debut with a record-breaking 19,763-square-foot space.

With a capacity for 454 guests, the lounge is designed to meet the diverse needs of today’s travelers, offering dining areas, relaxation zones, workspaces with private meeting rooms, and even a dedicated play area for children.

“We are thrilled to be part of this transformative chapter for Lima Airport,” said Giorgio Benza, Vice President for Latin America. “Airport Dimensions was awarded these four spaces based on our proven track record for delivering premium spaces and services at major airports worldwide.”

According to the lounge operator, local culture will take center stage at The Club LIM. The design features traditional and contemporary artwork by seven Peruvian artists, handmade textiles, lush greenery, and ceramics that reflect the country’s rich heritage.

On the culinary front, Peruvian chef Ignacio Barrios Jacobs has crafted a menu blending regional ingredients with culinary traditions, offering travelers an authentic taste of Peru.

Sustainability in Every Detail

Both Sleep ‘n Fly and The Club LIM prioritize sustainability through various eco-friendly features, including the use of recycled materials, fabrics made from 100 percent recycled yarn, and sustainably sourced wood.

According to the operator, both spaces incorporate energy-efficient appliances and LED lighting, along with natural refrigerants in the kitchen to reduce carbon emissions.

To promote water conservation, they have installed WaterSense-certified toilets and faucets and implemented waste management systems to minimize landfill contributions.

How to Access?

Both sleep ‘n fly and The Club LIM will be accessible to Priority Pass and LoungeKey members, as well as through day passes. Day passes for The Club LIM will cost $55 and can be purchased at theclubairportlounges.com.

Lucio Benavente, Retail and Experience Manager at Lima Airport Partners (LAP), emphasized the local impact: “Without a doubt, [Airport Dimensions’] extensive global expertise will redefine the experience at Jorge Chávez Airport. This new proposal will create a perfect environment that will not only provide relaxation but will also stand out for its hospitality, inspired by Peruvian culture.”
