American Express has opened a new Centurion Lounge at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) in Terminal 2, past the South Security Checkpoint.
At nearly 12,000 square feet, the lounge’s design celebrates the rich history and architecture of the nation’s capital along with a collection of art commissioned by local artists. For the first time ever in a Centurion Lounge, guests can enjoy popular dishes from three-award winning chefs who have created exceptional menus for the Centurion Lounges in Miami, San Francisco and Philadelphia, Chef Michelle Bernstein, Chef Ravi Kapur, and Chef Michael Solomonov. The lounge also features a specialty drink menu and wine list1 reflective of the DC-metro area curated by Jim Meehan, Centurion Lounge Mixologist, and Anthony Giglio, Centurion Lounge Wine Director. The lounge, which has floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in natural light and offer views of the airfield and the Potomac River, is open Sunday – Friday from 5 a.m. - 9 p.m. ET and Saturday from 5 a.m. - 7 p.m. ET.
“The Centurion Lounge is one of our Card Members’ favorite travel benefits, and the new location at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport offers Card Members the premium amenities they love in an airport they frequently travel through,” said Audrey Hendley, President of American Express Travel. “With a menu curated by three award-winning chefs, dedicated workstations, access to complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, quiet nooks for relaxation and more, there’s something for every type of traveler to enjoy.”
"The Centurion Lounge provides a premium experience for our travelers,” said Jack Potter, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority president and CEO.
