There are two separate listings for the same DCA Sky Club, so hopefully they get consolidated. I almost rated this lounge three stars. I can't help it. My primary lounge is LaGuardia, which is a bright, shining, new multi-million dollar facility. We're talking about getting ready to open a rooftop deck, white marble everywhere, premium fixtures, and all the bells and whistles. But then I snapped myself out of it. This isn't a huge lounge, but it does have a lot of spaces by large windows, to sit and admire the views of the Capitol. There are various types of seating--individual seats, business spaces with tables, a small quiet space for people who have meetings or need to concentrate. It's not crowded, not loud. Very understated. The bartenders are nice. Basic drink service you can expect from the average club. The food offerings are a little more sparse than the newer or larger clubs. The cheese had dried out. I didn't feel confident enough to try the sandwiches, as they had mayo on them, and I didn't feel they were at the right temp for safe consumption. They had some soup, hummus, and a couple meat dishes. The staff were very nice and attentive, keeping tables cleared and making sure we were taken care of. So is it mind blowing? Nah. But it's a quiet spot to get away from the terminal, with nice folks and some cocktails. The food could use a little work, but it was later in the day, so maybe they were winding that service down.

This is definitely one of the better lounges although it can get quite crowded on holidays and weekends. It has a nice view of Capitol Hill. They do keep it quite clean. Food is decent and better than when I go to other lounges I suggest a stop by, especially for Amex platinum users before the restrictions come in next year.

Average Sky Club that has plenty of seating for individuals. I wouldn't recommend this location if you have small children since it seems like it is set up for business folks. They have a small hot food section and the standard coffee and soda machines. They don't have a lot of staff but it is great for grabbing a quick bite or drink before your flight or unwinding shortly after your arrival. I had no issues checking in after arriving on my outbound journey and then spent more time on my inbound journey. Overall, pretty average.

Bottom line: as other reviews mentioned, it's a good place to come up, have a beer, recharge, and continue forward. It is not the best sky clubs I've been to with regards to service and food but it's better then nothing. Service: hit or miss. The bartender and wait staff were initially very attentive but you can see by looking around the plates and empty drinks were stacking up. The food at the lines were going empty... and the breakfast is re-heated continental at best. Venue: the view is very nice. Like most other clubs/lounges, you get a first view of the tarmac. This particular venue has the view of the city and Capitol Hill, which is unique itself. If anything, come here for the view and couple it with a drink. Overall: again- would still recommend coming here. It's still a good venue to take a break away from the crowd and a place to recharge. Every seat and table has an outlet for your electronics to recharge as well!

A note: the Delta SkyClub is membership-based lounge that gives members with the same-day Delta tickets access. Please don't be wandering in here demanding access, claiming that you read my review and want in, if you're flying Spirit or something. This has been an incredibly tough summer for flying, and I am grateful DCA has Delta SkyClub that makes the experience a bit easier. Delta's flights are located on Terminal 2 within DCA. The SkyClub is located by Gate 15, which makes it quite a convenient, since it will be the first thing Delta customers see when getting to their gates. Before entering, customers are checked in at the kiosks out front, and the representatives there are even nice enough to remind each person of their flight time and gate, just in case they have too good a time inside. One of the things I dread most about traveling is having to use dirty restrooms, and the SkyClub here has quite a dedicated staff that cleans the restrooms quite regularly. What's more, the stalls have doors that to all the way down, which allows for greater privacy. Food options are both healthy and tasty - the last time I was here, the menu included turkey as well as shrimp sliders, which make for a lunch lighter meal prior to a flight. There are also vegan options as well as soups and snacks. Along with soda machines and infused water, they also serve top-of-the-line Starbucks coffee and other more fancy caffeinated drinks. Those who enjoy a few alcoholic beverages can select from a variety of standard drinks and beers (complementary). The more fancy drinks are available for purchase via miles or cash (they accept cards, also). The chairs are large and comfortable, and the glass windows allow aviation enthusiasts and pint-sized traveled to plane watch while waiting. If you're a frequent traveler, the Delta SkyClub membership is well worth it, since Delta has these clubs at most airports. Memberships are available through many ways. I paid $550 for my yearly membership with the miles I earned. I fly once or twice a month, and access the club about 30-40 times a year. That comes out to be about $18 a visit at the most conservative estimate, and that's well worth it for clean restrooms, food and drinks and a relaxing atmosphere before a flight. Holders of the Delta-branded American Express platinum can get in for $39 per visit, and Delta Reserve members get in for free. Airline loyalty memberships and clubs can be complicated. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Nice Bar

DCA airport - Nice quiet spot to get away from the hustle & bustle. Great food options. Pretty great domestic lounge in DCA airport for waiting between connecting flights. My wine glass has some particles in the bottom that no one could identify but the 1st 1/2 of the Ros'e was good. Plenty of seating and friendly people to help you if anything is needed. Still give 4 stars even though my wine glass has extra particles. #quietplace #dirtyglasses #lotsofroom

Long awaited and much needed improvement is a huge success! This Sky Club was under a seemingly endless renovation. At long last, it is open with all of the beautiful improvements. And wow! What a beauty it is! The new bar is gorgeous. The light fixtures are modernized and shiny and bright. The food buffet is one of the best I've seen at a Delta lounge, with soup and sandwiches, crackers and cheese and fruit, even fresh veggies and salad, and of course the standard brownies and snack mix. The decor is simultaneously relaxing and energizing, which is perfect for the hustle and bustle of travelers constantly in and out of this lounge. The staff is still as friendly as always, and watch out, they pour a stronnnnggg drink. Their CLEAR access at the entry even works, yay! Only small complaints would be the vie water system was not working, and there are no charging outlets at the bar area. Very happy to finally have the old tiny stuffy space and mess of construction gone. This new lounge feels open and airy and lovely. I'll have to start coming to DCA much earlier before my flights to take advantage of this great space.

Savory Chicken Thighs, Coleslaw, and 3 Cheese Mac-n-Cheese.

@delta.com Love the upgrade in meal options @DCASkyclub @DCADeltaSkyClub the 3 cheese Mac-n-cheese with savory chicken thighs paired with coleslaw was delish. Comfort food and flights are a match made in Heaven. Thanks!

Made it through security to see the Delta elevator headed up to the lounge. Easy to check in and a wide space with plenty of seating options. Power to be had for electronic devices and wifi easily accessible. The bar is the central star at this lunge with plenty of complimentary and pay options. The food bar adjacent is stocked with nice options the staff keeps maintained.

Still a calm and peaceful oasis away from the noise and bustle of the terminal, Delta now offers food and many free drink options in their Sky Clubs. As a Diamond Medallion, having a Sky Club membership is a very good thing. This week, I was not only able to make a very important phone call from somewhere very quiet, I was able to get assistance from the club angel to jump onto an earlier flight home. Four hours earlier! How much is your time worth? It's certainly worth a Sky Club membership!

There was a nice variety of food in that area, but nothing that particularly stood out as extraordinary. The cabbage fattoush salad that I tried was lacking in flavor. I'm glad I got to experience it, but probably won't make coming back here a priority.

Dear reader, The…read moreCenturion Lounge at DCA is a very civilised way to begin a trip and, in my view, one of the more enjoyable airport lounges to spend time in. A number of recent reviews praise the lounge for its attractive design, comfortable seating, strong food and drink program, and thoughtful amenities, and that all feels quite fair. It is in Terminal 2 near the south security checkpoint, and the lounge's own materials describe it as a spacious, elegant place to relax, refresh, and have a cocktail before a flight. What I especially love are the wellness shots, the coffee machines, and the open bar. Those little wellness shots feel like the sort of optimistic airport decision one ought to make before boarding, and the coffee setup is genuinely excellent if one needs to become a person again before takeoff. The bar is also a very strong point in its favour. American Express highlights its curated cocktail, wine, and non-alcoholic drink selection, and that polish absolutely comes through. Everyone is also very nice, which makes a difference. Add in the comfortable atmosphere and the feeling that you can actually pause for a moment before flying, and it all makes for a thoroughly pleasant pre-flight ritual. A proper little oasis at DCA.

The lounges that I've been to have been because of travel companions. The Amex Lounge was no different! My sweet friend booked breakfast in Arlington, the Pentagon area that is what he said. When my uber picked me up, the app said I was heading to the Amex Lounge at the airport. I laughed because I thought I was eating at the airport and airport food isn't always the best. I thought our weekend was starting off odd. But I don't complain and go with the flow, so if you like it, I love it. I had my bags because we always do staycations, so with my bag in tow he meets me at the uber upon drop-off and says our dinner reservations are in Florida, hope you don't mind that's why I had you pack your bags. What a surprise. He says we have time to go to the Amex lounge to grab breakfast before we take off. I am speechless, literally speechless. We grab our tickets and head straight to the lounge. Wow! Okay so I've been to the Capital One Lounge and that was great but honestly AMEX is killing it! The food was actually really good! Bar is awesome! Everything was clean! It's newer so it's phenomenal! I've been told I need lounge access for as much as I travel. I immediately got on my phone to search to get the AMEX card, that's how nice this place was. Luckily he asked what I was doing on my phone. I said I need to be able to come here all year long so I'm going to throw the flag in and get a card. He laughed and said it would be easier just to add me to his account. And just like that, I'm a AMEX card holder! The card came in 3 business days. I'll be coming to this airport early! And will be looking forward to traveling this year to visit all the AMEX lounges. Amex is the way to go! Oh and a little life hack, our plan never works. Gods plan does! Grateful.

Since the D Gate Club was closed for renovation during my visit, I decided to give the E Gate Club a try--and I definitely wasn't disappointed. This is easily the nicest and most modern Admirals Club at DCA. It's large, spacious, bright, and has a much more contemporary feel than the other clubs in the terminal. There's simply more room to spread out, which makes a big difference when the airport is busy and you're trying to escape the terminal chaos. The food selection also seemed larger than what I've seen at the other Admirals Clubs, although I suspect the actual offerings are probably pretty similar across the terminal. Either way, there were plenty of options to grab something to eat and a drink before the flight. After spending time at the C and D Gate clubs, walking into the E Gate location definitely felt like an upgrade. If you're flying American out of DCA and have access to the E Gate Admirals Club, this is definitely worth checking out. It's a substantial upgrade in terms of space, design, and overall atmosphere.

At the time that I entered it was quite busy, so I had to post up at the bar until seating with a table had become available. I had about 2 hours until my evening flight and it took maybe about 50 minutes for the place to practically clear out. I think that I've been in more spacious lounges (non-Admirals), however, this one was still nice. There were a good number of seats and tables all around, so spacious enough to relax, eat or charge your devices while waiting for your flight. I did think that the restrooms were small, either 2 or 3 stalls in the ladies - thankfully there were no line problems while I was there. There was a guacamole bar, a decent selection of finger foods - think charcuterie, a small selection of hot food included braised beef (I was very happy to find this) and potatoes, along with a couple of desserts. There is also an open bar along with a coffee and tea area. I didn't get a chance to try the guacamole, and I didn't care for the banana pudding cup but otherwise it was an a-ok menu. I spent most of my last hour relaxing in a comfy chair, charging my phone while catching up on messages and sipping Coke Zero. I definitely prefer the "peace" of a lounge over the hustle and bustle at a gate any day.

Next, I was asked for my drink order (2 classic margaritas for myself and my guest), but for some odd reason she wouldn't make both. She first responded "for who?" then asked me to have my guest pick the second drink (which I have never experienced in all the lounges I've visited throughout the country). Her tone was not only rude but uncalled for. I simply responded by accepting the one drink and returned to my seat to give the news to my guest. We were disappointed in the customer service and unwelcomed attitude by the attending bartender.
