    Beef bbq sandwiches were at a mini buffet away from the main buffet.
    Diane R.

    I had a stop over in Denver and was happy to find the centurion lounge in Terminal C. There I was able to go up the escalator and wait to check in. The lounge had many open spaces. The food selection was plentiful and drink stations were also well stocked. It was a relaxing place to grab dinner before my next flight. There was a made to order pasta bar as well.

    Buffet area, cool ceiling.

    Food was exceptionally delicious and fresh. Service was round the clock with perfection. Ambiance was very peaceful but busy. My first time visiting The Centurion Lounge and i was impressed. I typically goto the Delta Sky lounge. But if you're in Denver airport and you have access here, then definitely stop in and relax and enjoy yourself.

    Meh. I expected more. The place was clean but the food was alright. We arrived at a little before 0700, by the time we left at 0900 it was packed.

    I'm not a lounge expert. But most of them have not been that great. I got the AMEX Platinum card to get perks like this lounge, as well as others that help with travel. This is an airport i have a layover at until my final destination. I couldn't use the lounge in LA because it was in the wrong terminal. Here, it's on the other side of the airport. When I arrived, I had to scan a code to get in the waitlist. Then I couldn't do that because my flight left in 4 hours, even though it was less than 3 hours from boarding. I get that they're trying to limit access. But that was a drag. Even one minute before 3 hours before departure I couldn't get on the list. I finally did and it was about 10 minutes. Then you have to go up to another line. The getting in part was less than stellar. The place is big and pretty nice. There's a bar and a buffet. the buffet food didn't look great. But i had a salad and sone chicken. It was free. They have plenty of people cleaning up, clearing dishes, and restocking the buffet. They were all pleasant. It's very busy. But Denver is a hub airport. It's a pretty good place.

    Worst experience here yet. Long waitlist. Long wait to check-in after clearing waitlist. Check-in very inefficient. Long line in the men's restroom; only three stalls and one of these was out of order.

    Decent spot to stop when traveling but I'm not excited about it given a few consistent drawbacks. There's now always a wait which takes away from the experience too. The location isn't ideal in terminal C vs main terminal, the bar lines are consistently long and are slow to move. The food selection is hit or miss, sometimes its great other times its pretty meh. Nice views overlooking the terminal and outside.

    Is it still crowded, yes! Do they try to minimize the amount of people there, to some degree yes. The food is pretty good, definitely more robust options than the "snacks" offered at most lounges. They also have two bars and plenty of coffee! They try to keep it pretty clean with lots of staff. Overall plenty of seating for eating and relaxing.

    Buffet line with hot food: Made-to-order hot station, healthy options

    Worth the visit if you have a layover in DEN and an Amex card that gets you in. Big space with plenty of seating variety, bar height, dining tables, couches, and lounge chairs, so you can find something whether you want to work or just zone out before your flight. Two buffet setups, including a made-to-order station, and the options skew healthy without being boring. Coffee stations, sparkling water, and yes, a Coke Zero dispenser, which sounds small but matters when every other lounge only has regular Coke. Bartenders take their time and actually talk to you instead of slinging drinks like they're punching a clock. Showers are a real perk if you're coming off a redeye, but get on the list early or grab a staff member when you walk in. The toiletries are high-end and smell great. Buffet servers and front desk staff were friendly every interaction. One real gripe: not enough power outlets. Plenty of tables have zero chargers nearby, and when the lounge fills up you end up hunting for a spot. Bring a portable battery if you're depending on a charge before boarding. Go for the food and showers, stay for the bartender pace.

    I'm a fan of the Centurion club. If you can get in, sometimes the waitlist can be over 30 minutes. It is an oasis in an airport. Some of the things I like about this location over others, it has two bars. So the capacity is much greater than the Houston Centurion. They also have a cook to order grill, that delivers freshly cooked specials each day. Today it was a customizable Mac and cheese. The regular trough food is pretty good as well. Did I tell you drinks and food are included? If you fly more than twice a month, and there is a Centurion club in the connecting hub the Amex Platinum card will pay for itself. Everyone here seems to act like they are the reason this club is here. Is that entitlement? With connection flights, the crowd is constantly turning over. There is much seating with bar, high table, low table, and a 'kids' area to keep the noise down. It took me 33 minutes to get in on the waiting list today. The clubs secret seems to have leaked out. Highly recommend!

    Secret lox buffet by the second bar in the front... [away from the Omelet station...]

    I've been going to Centurion Lounges since before this one opened in DIA in 2017 [e.g., Las Vegas since 2013, SFO since 2014] To quote Yogi Berra - "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded..." - his way (& my way) of saying that the Centurion Lounges are a bit of a victim of their own success. Sometimes they can be an airport oasis, a respite from the hectic energy of the Concourse. Other times, the omelet line is filled with extended families on their way to Cabo for Spring Break. You know what I mean: TCLs are hardly a hidden haven anymore so, depending on the day, it can be pretty good or kinda disappointing. The Amex adverts don't mention you might hafta wait 30 to 45 minutes to get into a Lounge that is a 'perk' of your 'membership.' The solution for this is for Amex to _massively_ expand their lounge footprint, either through making them larger or having multiple lounges per major airport, like United does with their Red Carpet Clubs. DEN is #4 in the US, behind ATL, DFW, ORD and ahead of LAX, JFK, MCO... you get my drift: the Top 5 busiest airports in the US should (at least) double up on their Centurion Lounge footprints. Time to get crackin' guys

    Airport lounges are heaven sent for me. I travel for work and to be able to sit at a lounge with fast Wi-Fi and delicious food and drinks makes business traveling somewhat better. I hate waking up super early and rushing to get to the airport. But once I check into a lounge, I can finally breath and relax. Love all the Centurion Lounges, they have everything I need.

    Anjali G.

    They keep the area pretty clean. It was very full when we went. Wide selection of food with decent taste. Pretty easy to find on our way to our gate. Nice staff and fellow travelers in the lounge is a bonus. Bathroom are definitely a lot nicer to use than the ones in the regular airport part

    Guest Experience Feedback -- Denver Centurion Lounge, Concourse C I would like to share feedback about an experience my sister and I had at the bar in the Centurion Lounge at Denver International Airport. My intention is not retaliation or revenge. I am sharing this because I believe American Express has a responsibility to ensure that every Card Member is treated with dignity, consistency, and respect. My experience with the bar attendant, Lindsay, was particularly concerning. I felt that I was treated differently and unfairly in a manner that appeared to be related to my accent, language, or background. I am an American citizen who was born in Europe, and I am proud to be an American. Because of this experience, I was left with the impression that I may have been subjected to linguistic and/or racial discrimination. I recognize that I cannot know another person's intent, but the way the interaction occurred made me feel singled out and unwelcome. During our visit, my sister and I were apparently restricted to a very limited number of drinks over a period of hours, without what I understood to be a clear or consistently communicated explanation. Later, after a male bartender, Jessie, served me during the last call before the bar closed, Lindsay followed me to my table and removed the drink that I had in my possession while I was tasteful savoring every drop of the exquisite ambiance in my slow nocturnal travel after a long day driving and morning flight with consecutive another overnight flight. I found this interaction humiliating and inappropriate. I want to make an important distinction: Jessie provided excellent service. He was professional, courteous, and respectful. In my opinion, Jessie is a top-of-the-line bartender and deserves recognition for his professionalism and bartending skills. His service demonstrated exactly the type of hospitality I would expect from an American Express Centurion Lounge. After I raised the issue with Jessie and with the lounge supervisor just asking what is her name due to missing name tag, Lindsay subsequently came to my table and handed me a piece of paper apparently intended to make sure I knew how to spell her name correctly. Regardless of her intention, the way this was handled felt unnecessarily confrontational and added to an already uncomfortable experience. My recommendation to American Express I am not asking for revenge or punishment. I would instead encourage American Express to review this interaction and consider additional training for lounge staff regarding: Consistent and transparent communication of alcohol-service policies. Equal treatment of guests regardless of accent, nationality, ethnicity, or language. Appropriate ways to address a guest when service is being restricted or a drink needs to be removed. De-escalation and respectful communication when a guest raises a service concern. Maintaining the high level of professionalism demonstrated by employees such as Jessie. The Centurion Lounge represents the American Express brand, and I hope that future guests--regardless of where they were born or how they speak English--will feel equally respected and welcome. I am providing this feedback in good faith and with the hope that it can be used constructively to improve the guest experience. Revenge is not my objective; respectful treatment and better service are.

    I see you Denver Capital One Lounge!…read more Lounge is located in Concourse A near Gate A34 on the second level. Take the escalator to the upper level and you will be welcome by the nicest representatives. There are plenty of bar stool seats, tables and couches, including shower room and working room. I didn't have any issue finding a seat as staffs are non-stop clearing and cleaning tables. Capital One Lounge are known for their delicious food and Denver location did not disappoint. I love the mini individual servings and unique dishes. I was ravenous after my first leg flight. The pork bao was exactly what I needed. I also really enjoy the quinoa salad and California poke. The yuzu lemon beignet was such a surprise sweet treat. The bartender made an excellent cocktail, Hot Aspen with vodka, ginger, honey, cucumber and something else. It was the right amount of spicy (from the ginger) and sweetness. Lastly, don't sleep on the grab and go section. If you have a short connection or long second leg, grab the packaged sandwiches, salads, yogurts, cookies and nuts! Tip: If your flight depart from Concourse B, allow at least 20 min to walk and take the train. Denver Airport is massive!

You can enter this lounge with a Cap 1 Venture X card or by paying a fee with your regular Venture card. Guests are an additional $45. Everything is complimentary once inside. The biggest downside of this lounge is the capacity. They pack this thing to the brim. So after waiting for nearly 2 hours to enter, even when you are inside, it feels crowded. Almost every seat was taken, and many travelers were taking up way more than their fair share of space, with their bags often taking up a seat of their own. Unfortunately, staff didn't seem to care about this and let travelers do whatever they wanted. It just didn't feel nearly as "luxury" as my visit to the LAS lounge. The good news is this didn't impact the rest of the experience. There was plenty of food, and it was all good. They kept everything very clean. The bathrooms are single-stall and very nice. The bar was efficient and had plenty of great alcoholic and NA options. On the way out, you can grab a warm cookie or the classic grab-and-go like sandwiches, small treats, etc. While this lounge is certainly better than hanging in the terminal, be wary of the crowds and long wait times, and know that the "luxury" experience you might be seeking won't be found at this location.
