Great experience at the Denver centurion lounge. Got on the waitlist and after 20 or so minutes got a text we had access. Went and got checked in very nice lady. Good selection of food for lunch today, grilled chicken, chicken wings, Mac and cheese. Were the stars along with some good soup and a rice with shrimp dish over the top. Caesar salad was kinda mushy after being wet for awhile. Enjoyed everything else tho. Staff was friendly and quick to remove plates and clean. Lot of seating options and the floor outlets work.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Cook to order grill
David R.

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.

First off, a HUGE shoutout to my nephew Wayne for introducing me to the credit card that opened up this whole new world of airport perks. THANK YOU, WAYNE! You have forever changed the way I travel! The Capital One Lounge at DIA is located in Concourse A, near Gate A34, and let me tell you, this place has become my favorite way to kick off a trip. I actually LOOK FORWARD to getting to the airport early now. Who would've thought?! Instead of sitting at the gate waiting to board, I'm relaxing with a margarita or mimosa, enjoying some delicious food, and snacking to my heart's content. Now THAT'S how you start a vacation! I LOVE how they serve their food in these cute little individual portions. It's like having your own personal tasting menu! You can sample a little bit of everything without committing to one big plate. And the food is actually DELICIOUS! Just a heads-up, though...WATCH OUT FOR THAT SAUSAGE! That little sucker has some serious HEAT! LOL! Don't forget to make a pit stop at the grab-and-go section before heading out! Sandwiches, parfaits, bottled water...yes, please! They got snacks on snacks too: cookies, nuts, bar mix, banana chips...BRING IT! Such a convenient little perk, especially when you know airplane food isn't exactly something to look forward to. And then there's the chocolate. I mean, I'll eat it, but why does it kinda taste like plastic?! LOL! Can't win them all! The lounge itself has so many great amenities. The bathrooms are always clean and spacious, there's a family room where your kiddies can play, showers if you need to freshen up, and even private office spaces if you need to take a call or talk loudly without disturbing everyone around you. Love that they thought of all these little conveniences! My big back LOVES this place, and I have absolutely ZERO shame about it. See you before my next flight!

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!

There was an assistant to help, but then when computer welcomed me in, he told me I was good to enter. The lounge was quite spacious, but due to my injury, I just stayed in the bar area. I took an old fashioned for my drink, and it was strong enough to cure the injury blues. I mostly spoke with the other guests and watched the world cup soccer match. I also grab some Thai chicken curry soup, which was so good as it had a good amount of spice to it. Unfortunately, my right arm was hurting a lot, so I didn't eat much other then the soup. The bathroom was quite clean and even upscale. Nice smelling bath products were three too. Because there is no priority pass lounge, having access to this was a godsend. I am now thankful that I get 10 personal passes per year when I fly Delta non basic economy class or higher with my American Express Platinum card. I definitely want to try the lounge in Orlando now. I love flying Delta airlines and can't wait to visit another lounge again. Overall: A

Who doesn't love people watching. I already knew I wanted a salad so I ordered the Cobb with crispy chicken. You also have the option of baked chicken and a few other options that I don't recall. OMG, it was very good with just the perfect amount of green goddess dressing. Bacon, avocado, tomatoes, figs.... YUM! The bartender was very accommodating and checked on me often, even though the bar was full with people passing time during their delayed flights. She was very pleasant. She recommended a local porter beer and it was tasty. Something like graham cracker porter. If I have a layover in Denver again, this is where I'll come!
