Swiss A gates Business Lounge Zurich

Zurich Airport is Swiss's largest hub. Swiss offer an extensive list of destinations to choose from departing from Zurich. The Swiss national carrier does not have its own terminal in Zurich, which means that it needs to have facilities for business class passengers all around the airport. This is why Swiss has 3 lounges at Zurich; one near the A gates, one near the D gates (also used for B gates) and one for the satellite E gates. Most Swiss and Edelweiss (Swiss subsidiary) long-haul flights depart from the E gates. Therefore, the best business class lounge is located here. Unfortunately, I wasn't travelling on a long-haul business class flight. However, I visited the A gates lounge rather than the D gates lounge, due to the A gates lounge being renovated a few months ago; I only had one hour between flights, so unfortunately not enough time to visit both lounges. Let's now look at how this lounge accommodates for Business Class passengers' needs.
