Simple review: Best American Express Centurion Lounge I have experienced. Spacious, multiple buffets and bars to grab drinks and food from. Several meeting rooms and family rooms and clean bathrooms. The highlight of this lounge are the outdoor terrace areas. Beautifully designed. read more

omg- this is one popular place! I only try to access it during off hours as putting my name on a wait list seems ridiculous. Access is free for the card holder or first class pax Otherwise,, $50 for the 2nd person-not worth it for me. Showers are available - -same for some Delta clubs though...that may be free at the D. Clubs..... Food was good but I am guessing that the popularity is due to the free alcoholic beverages? Personally, I avoid it since it is dehydrating while traveling but something for everyone, right? It is a huge space- incredible how packed it can be though. Almost as busy as the typical gate areas. :)! read more

I walked into the American Express Centurion Lounge at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, Concourse E, just outside gate 11, thinking I was about to get another slightly fancier version of the Delta lounge. Instead, I found a surprisingly spacious oasis that felt like it had a better selection, better atmosphere, and--dare I say--a slightly smug sense of superiority (in the nicest way). People are hustling and bustling outside in the concourse, but inside, you can sip a cocktail and feel like the world paused just for you. It's the only place in an airport where you can watch someone sprint for a gate while you leisurely consider dessert options. The food selection deserves a shout-out. The bar is nicely stocked, the entrees are solid--juicy chicken curry, chickpeas, rice, and vegetables--and the dessert selection is excellent. Those shortcakes might make you forget your next boarding call. Pro tip: glance outside once in a while and silently judge everyone who didn't find this lounge. It's a little slice of calm in the madness of one of the busiest airports in the world. A place to recharge, enjoy some good food, and pretend your flight is happening tomorrow instead of in twenty minutes. Four stars. If you're passing through Concourse E and have a chance to stop by, this lounge is worth carving out a few extra minutes--your stress levels (and your stomach) will thank you. read more

American Express Centurion Lounge, next to Gate E-11 Let's start with ambiance. The space is huge, roughly twice the size of the normal Lounge. Extra tall ceilings, lounge sofas to accommodate two people, lots of conversation areas, tons of seating(mixture of different configurations). Several food buffets spread through the area, large bar with seating, plus bar kiosks spread throughout. The food seems hardier than the regular lounges. Today it's: soup, salad bar, Caesar salad, braised chicken, eggplant, Brussels sprouts, breads, cooked and brownies. Since it's such a large place, serving a couple hundred people every two hours (passengers can checks in two hours before flight, $50/per guest flying on same flight), the serve staff is super busy. After enjoying what they have to offer, I prefer the regular Amex lounges. The food is lighter, but more varied, the pace and atmosphere is more laid back, and the servers have more time to be friendly. But, try it at least once to see what you think. read more

I had a long layover and landed just before they opened so we were all outside waiting. A few mins before opening everyone started queuing. This location is absolutely beautiful! They have some many different areas and types of seats. I was lucky to grab a 2 seater sofa for myself as I was exhausted and needed a nap. Because they had just opened, they didn't have all the food options available for breakfast yet. I ate a bit of what they had and proceeded to take a nap. The staff were extremely helpful and nice! One of the ladies wa concerned that I may miss my flight, but I had an alarm just in case. I was between this lounge or the delta one but decided to check this one out plus it was right where I got out and near my next gate. I would highly recommend this lounge! read more

Why 5 stars? Because the Centurion Lounge in Atlanta feels more like a boutique hotel than an airport stopover. From the moment you walk in, the space feels open and calm, with a beautiful tree right in the center that gives the room an unexpected sense of nature and balance. There's plenty of room to sit and unwind -- whether you want to catch up on work, have a quiet meal, or just relax before a flight. We spent some time on the balcony watching planes take off, which ended up being surprisingly peaceful. The food was far better than most lounges I've visited. I had a full meal that felt fresh and well-prepared, not like something reheated in a back kitchen. My son loved the cornbread and his mango drink, and my wife enjoyed her Moscow Mule (strong enough that I joked she'd finally sleep on the plane). It's the kind of place that makes you wish boarding would take a little longer. Everything from the service to the layout feels intentional -- easily the best lounge experience I've had. read more

I give the American Express Centurion Lounge next to Gate E11 in Concourse E at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) a solid four stars. My wife and I had a good first impression of this place. That said, at ATL, our preferred lounge is still currently the Delta Sky Club in Concourse F because it's less crowded and hectic, everything is better stocked, and there are grab-and-go snacks. We've yet to see any grab-and-go snacks at any Centurion Lounge location and I bet it's because they'd constantly go out of stock. The Centurion Lounge at Hartsfield opened on February 14, 2024. We visited it for the first time this past Saturday morning. It's conveniently located near the center of Concourse E, just a short walk after you take the escalators up from the Plane Train station / tunnel. When we arrived at 9:37am, there was no line to enter and the lounge itself wasn't too crowded, which was nice. This was in stark contrast to our experience just a couple months ago (March 2025) at the Centurion Lounge at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) where it was uncomfortably crowded. What sets the Centurion Lounges apart from other airport lounges to me are their distinct style. Overall, they're among the most stylish lounges in terms of interior design and decor. I appreciate that Amex wants to give their customers an upscale, luxe look and feel. Atlanta's Centurion Lounge features real trees and lots of plants, inside and out (there's a neat plant-filled outdoor terrace). There's also a sophisticated-looking whiskey bar called "The Reserve by American Express." At the time of writing this review, this is the largest Centurion Lounge at almost 26,000 square feet. Thanks to a bigger and better layout, people flow through this lounge much better than the one at LAX. The food and drink were good and service was fine. Our breakfast and brunch items from the buffet included avocado toast, sausage links, verde salsa scrambled eggs with black pepper, bacon, sweet potato hash, honeydew, and French toast casserole with cappuccinos and a Bloody Mary. Yum. There are two double-sided, self-serve buffets. During our visits to the buffet, they were low on eggs and ran out of bacon. They also ran out of coffee mugs, so my wife had to hunt down a mug. The silverware didn't look clean to me, but that's just me being nitpicky -- I've seen similar at other restaurants and lounges that machine-wash their dinnerware. Most of the staff were constantly busy trying to restock, maintain, and clean everything. The bartender lady at The Reserve, who made our Bloody Mary, was very nice. In comparison, the Delta Sky Club lounges at LAX (Terminal 3, March 2025) and LaGuardia Airport (Terminal C, this past Monday) are better-run operations with more staff and therefore, better service. Centurion Lounge staff generally seem more overwhelmed. Something odd I noticed was several panes of glass looked broken and taped up with black tape. This was at the outdoor patio that faced the airport apron. What up with that? read more

This lounge is stunning all around, with many natural features and 2 patio areas to enjoy, which I have found is rare for most lounges at major airports. The service was quick and attentive, with a special thanks going to the uber attentive reserve whiskey bar team thar kept the suggestions for drinks coming my way with a twist. Plenty of space for business work with several private rooms to take calls as well. A must stop on your next layover. read more

This airport lounge is now the gold standard by which I'll compare clubs in other airports. This is the largest Centurion Lounge worldwide. So I gotta believe it seldom has a line to get in. Although we are flying out of the A terminal, we arrived early to make the trek to E11 to check this out. In the short time I've been here, the spaciousness and luxury is over the top. Whiskey Bar is super cool. Outdoor view areas were perfect in a 70 degree day. And the food was amazing. Unfortunately, I seldom fly to Atlanta or thru it. So it might be a while before my next visit. I'll conclude by saying WOW! read more

The AMEX Centurion Lounge in Atlanta sets the bar for me in terms of quality of airport lounges. When I visit lounges nowadays I ask myself, "how would this compare to the Centurion Lounge?" This lounge is that great in my opinion. The Centurion Lounge here is the largest in the name group. There is a ton of space to relax and do work and enjoy yourself. The seating selection is plentiful, and there are different options, based on the reason you're there. The are long tables for groups, comfier chairs for relaxation, personal working space and smaller, private rooms too. They have two bar areas, two buffet lines, patios, showers, bathrooms, everything you could want in a lounge! The aesthetic is top notch as well, you walk in and you are greeted by nature, a big tree in the center. The food here also rocks. Some lounges have mediocre quality food with limited options, but this lounge has all the options. You can typically eat a full meal here for breakfast, lunch or dinner! The options are balanced, with proteins, starches and vegetables all available for selection. They also have desserts, soups, small bites and plenty to drink. Not only that, the food actually tastes pretty good here! Sometimes, I intentionally skip getting a meal while traveling because I know I will have something delicious here. This lounge alone, paired with the fact that I travel through Atlanta a lot makes having the Amex Plat card worth it. I cannot say enough great things about the lounge, it is a must stop to recharge yourself on a long travel day! read more

Always love this one. Great interior, awesome runway views. Nice food and top notch bartenders! Everything is always clean - supporting staff does great job about it. Check in might look hectic but again - staff makes it so nice read more

This lounge is excellent, located in a decent spot in Terminal E. I was able to get in both times I tried without a wait. While busy, I was also able to find acceptable seating quickly. Atmosphere was a bit busy, but all around good. Buffet-style food was decent quality. The bar is excellent, with well-trained bar staff who can make anything you name, in addition to an adequate and creative preset cocktail menu. This is a great space to spend a layover. read more

This is the best lounge I have been in since I started lounging in 2015. This location is in terminal E. It is complete with two food stations, shower and full bar. The desserts and food were so good! The space is high and offers seats in the dinning area, lounge areas or outside. The decor was beautiful and almost felt like you were outside. The staff were very nice and moved quickly to keep items stocked. Plan accordingly to your gate because you can get real comfortable in this spot. read more

It was a Friday and was super busy but the staff made sure the area was well kept and continually being cleaned and more food out . The decor is always stunning in these lounges in a big fan of it always . I grabbed some food and a drink while I awaited the plane . The process was easy and fast . read more

Stopped in for a quick walkabout before boarding, during a long layover in Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport. We had stopped in at the nearby Delta Sky lounge, so didn't need any food or beverages. Took some pictures though. The entrance is located next to Gate E11 The check-in process is similar to other Centurion Lounges. You wait in line (pretty significant by the time I was leaving) to be called. An associate will scan your boarding pass (need to be flying on a Delta flight if using a Delta associated AMEX card), AMEX card that has access as a benefit, and picture ID. The inside is really nice, with large floor to ceiling windows. It has a variety of cold and hot foods, a full manned bar, and separate private rooms (not sure if you have to reserve them or not). read more

This is a beautiful lounge, it has indoor and outdoor seating. The seats are comfortable and has a decent amount of plugs around. I've sat in different areas around the lounge and each place is comfortable, the food is pretty good as well. Someone was always going around making sure everything is clean and asked if anyone needed anything. The lounge is located in the E terminal so if you don't have a flight close make sure to leave with enough time to make your flight. read more

Crowded. This is a great Centurion Lounge, but just know because of location and airport status this lounge is super crowded. It can be hard to get into and if you do it may be hard to find seating. The buffet and food options are fantastic. We haven't always loved the menu options, but there is always a wide variety to make a great plate for yourself before your trip. Many drink stations and great features to make your stay enjoyable. Mixed drink/alcoholic beverages can have a long line or be extra crowded, but being patient will pay off if you are wanting a cocktail. Overall the views and outdoor space are a true favorite. Great location and modern feel. read more

ATL Centurion Lounge for the win! Yesterday, I came in overstimulated following a rough travel day (delays, etc). The team who checked me in was very kind and understanding. It seemed every employee here was gracious, the food was good, and I would like to give a special shout out to the kind soul who gave me a pretty skincare kit! read more

Very nice lounge with good food choices! Great perk, that allows you access if you have an American Express Platinum card as a lot of the Ceturion lounges only allow you access if you have a black card. I love that they have pods where you can close the door and not be bothered! Note that the bar doesn't open until after 11am and you can only check in within 3 hours of your flight! They did a great job with keeping things clean and refilling all items! read more

First visit to the relatively new Centurion Lounge at ATL. I am rarely in terminal E so I have never had time to check it out before. It's pretty impressive, basically all you could really ask is there. Great food, lots of options. Getting in was straight forward and everyone was really nice. I had to leave to go ask an airline a question and they let me right back in. Honestly it was a true five star experience. I would choose this lounge if possible over all other options. read more

Always nice to have a place to relax and shower if needed after a long trip and layover. The American lounge was too far and this one was near my next flight so it was perfect! Staff was great and so were the amenities. Facilities was nice and clean. A little crowded but that's usual for a Centurion lounge. read more

I stopped by the Centurion Lounge at ATL around 8 AM (Concourse E) and was helped by Maisha Ford at the bar. She was absolutely amazing--friendly, attentive, and professional. What really stood out was her kindness. My mom recently passed, and when she saw me crying, she took a moment to ask if I was okay. That small act of compassion meant so much to me. Thank you, Maisha, for your warmth and for treating people with genuine care. read more

American Express Centurion Lounge - The layover - Airport Lounges Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Overall 3.75 Stars - The Sky Club was extremely busy and had a 2 hr layover so I figure to check out the AMEX Centurion lounge. 1st time at the Centurion point in ATL and I enjoyed it however it was REALLY crowded during the time i was there (3 pm on Sunday). Figure it will be less crowded but it wasn't. The lounge itself was nice and modern. Plenty of seating and little alcoves to find but it was crowded. I wouldn't suggest for a large group 4 or more when it crowded. Hard to find seating. If you are a party of 1, then it is easier to find a seat. Sat outside to get fresh air and watch the planes arrive and depart. Definitely louder with the planes but much calmer and relaxing than being indoors. Good circulation from ceiling fans and the breeze when there is one. The view of the planes was 5 Stars especially with the breeze. Can get warm especially when it is 95 outside. 3.5 Stars Food. - they were serving lunch so I got a little bit of salad, chickpeas, rosemary chicken and Naan bread with sauce. The blood orange and vinaigrette beets was wonderful on the salad however the chicken had a little Bit too much rosemary on it. Need to eat it with a side item to offset the flavor. The Naan bread was soft and good but it reminded me of thick pita bread instead of Naan. The yogurt sauce had diced cucumbers tasted more like onion dip. Disappointed with the sauce. The Espresso Martini was 3 Stars. I had better. Wasn't foamy or even had an espresso bean. The Centurion lounge in Seattle was much better. I believe the food was "par" to other lounges I been too. With the amount of advertising AMEX has voiced about the lounge, my overall expression was 3.75 stars. Am I missing something? The staff were mostly friendly and professional. The person at the front counter wasn't as energetic and mumble a lot. I had to ask a couple of times to speak a little bit louder so I could understand them. The staff lounge was more professional and friendly. They are more engaging when you say "hello" or "how is your day going". Don't forget, they see and help hundreds of grumpy, happy, weary and energetic people through out the day. Pro tip: Don't forget to tip the bartender and ask how they are doing. Their attitude will change to become more positive with an upbeat persona. read more

One of the best lounges I have been to. Impeccable service; great variety of decent to above average drinks; wide selection of healthy and tasty food, to include desserts that are restaurant quality and unique; ample and diverse seating options; reasonable wait times; lovely outdoor seating and viewing spaces; the trademark good (and heavily under utilized!) shower and amenities; and is more or less reasonably located (as opposed to the SFO Centurion Lounge which is in the middle of nowhere!). Definitely recommend a visit. read more

I had the opportunity to visit the new American Express Centurion Lounge one day after its opening. There are still a few kinks they have to work out but overall I would definitely say Delta now has some lounge competition in ATL. The lounge is located right next to gate E11. Its gorgeous and has a beautiful outdoor patio. One the day I went, they had a soul food menu (which I assume was inspired by it being Black History Month) with turkey collard greens, baked macaroni, corn bread and baked chicken. Everything was shockingly really tasty. They have many different style areas to post up which meet any travelers needs. I chilled in the whiskey lounge but they have TV rooms, showers and multiple outdoor areas. The biggest con is the line to enter is pretty chaotic. There are about 5 lines and they each move at different speeds depending on how quickly the agent is moving people along. At one point, an attendant left to give a tour so her line was just stuck. Otherwise I enjoyed my experience and will be back. Hopefully, they add a grab and go option like Delta has as wll. read more

We came to the Centurion lounge, Am Ex bar, and the lady who checked us in said, check out the bourbon bar. As we were walking by, we saw it, so we came in. Ashley immediately greeted us, she is so sweet, her drinks are Amazing and her coworkers are great!! They work together very well and recommend many things! It's a nice size bar, there's an outdoor area and it's a great ambience. Great experience, we will definitely come back next time we're at the Atlanta airport. You should check it out as well. read more

I dropped by this lounge a couple times now during my layover at ATL. It is a pretty spacious lounge with an outdoor seating area. The lounge is normally pretty busy. There have been lines to get in each time I've gone, but I've never needed to wait after being checked in. The food options here are great. There have been a good variation with snacks spread throughout the lounge. Definitely a nice place to hangout waiting for my flight. read more

Timing is everything! The Centurion Lounge opened 1 week ago and is located by Gate E11, so easy after my plane landed in Atlanta. There were 3 lines to enter and took about 5 minutes, once you're in, absolutely gorgeous retreat! Today's dinner was soul food -chicken thighs, collard greens, gumbo, Mac and cheese - excellent. There are several bars at the bar, every single line was long but the staff moved really quickly and did a great job serving everyone. The staff is always cleaning and picking up the dishes. Ambiance/ there was man outdoor patio with a view of the planes/ great vibe, contemporary design - very happy I found this the Centurion Lounge in Atlanta airport. read more

The most beautiful lounge I've been to, the Centurion lounge has indoor/outdoor seating overlooking the runway. The bar is impressive. Extensive beer and cocktail menu.

Lovely lounge, greet to see one finally in Atlanta. The lounge is located at Gate E11, just a three minute walk from the E concourse tram stop. Beautiful inside with the tree being the centerpiece. Modern artistic lighting and plenty of indoor seating. The outdoor was very crowded even on a cool evening. Service and food (quantity, understanding the traffic pattern of visitors) was a problem but they are still working out the kinks here. All staff were super polite and friendly. Big ups to Terrell at the check in desk. read more

Beautiful swank lounge with indoor and outdoor seating, a whiskey room (The Reserve) and a full service bar.

It also has a wide variety of seating options such as regular dining tables, single high back chairs facing the window overlooking the runway, cozy seating areas consisting of lounge chairs and small sofas, bar seating and outdoor lounge furniture on both terraces.
