American Express Centurion Lounge

Large lounge with showers and two buffet offerings. One is a made to order bar (omelets in the morning, sandwiches and salads at lunch. Burger bar on my last visit.). Generally healthy options. A few areas to get coffee and sparkling water. Plenty of seating options, bar height, dining tables, couches and chair options. The shower was great as I had many delays and needed to freshen up. The brand of toiletries is high end and smell wonderful (if you’re into essential oils which I am.). Buffet Servers and greeters are always friendly. Bartenders don’t seem in a rush and aren’t very friendly which is baffling to me and takes this review from 5 to 4 stars. They were celebrating their anniversary not too long ago and had some nice candies available. On my last visit I received a bottle of hand sanitizer cobranded by Clear. Christiana checked me in on my most recent visit and was a gem. You can tell she loves her job and is proud of the lounge and all they offer. My only suggestion - add more power outlets. Several tables do not have chargers and it can be challenging to find one when the lounge is full.

The Centurion Lounge at Denver Airport was more crowded than any other Centurion Lounge I’ve ever visited. There were definitely a lot of people, and most of the tables were taken, but we still managed to find a free one. The service was very good, and we didn’t have to wait because we arrived around 8 PM. Based on other reviews, it seems like it can be difficult to find a seat during the day. The lounge also has showers, but you need to reserve them in advance. Overall, a positive experience just expect it to be busy.

This Centurian Lounge sucks. Sooooo overcrowded. Does everyone in here pay $900 a year for the card? If they don’t, they need to get out! No more guests, it’s annoying. Or if you bring in a guest AmEx should charge them! Adults only lounge too please. Or expand! No kids running around wild. This isn’t Disney. It’s getting so ridiculous that all of them are getting way too overcrowded! Food is just okay. They have a Mac and cheese counter where they make it fresh but it’s just okay. Not cheesy enough. Only thing I liked was the corn chowder soup. Bartender was rude about my id. I think he saw panic in my face because my drivers license was supposed to be on top of another ID but it wasn’t there so I had to go back to where I checked in to see that I left my drivers license there. That was what the panic on my face was for. Not because he asked for my id. He said the other one would be fine but I gave him my passport instead. He mentioned all ids I have were suspicious but that’s none of his business. Nothing illegal but I have ids for multiple different jobs because nowadays you need more than one job! Most of them are JOB IDs! That’s not gonna be legit at all bar! DA! Other than that, none of his business. Rude. Hello! I’m freaking old okay?! Cranky ol’ bartenders! When I asked for a second wine (I had only had one) they said it had been less than 15 minutes and I would need to wait. It had been 15 minutes or more because I ate a whole dinner plate in between! It seemed sexist because if I had been a man in a business suit they wouldn’t have even questioned. So way to make a female solo traveler feel welcomed. Being shooed away. They really had something against me. So I waited 15 MORE minutes and got my second glass of wine and only had 2 total because then I had to run to my gate! All the way in A! Plus by the time I went to get a second glass there was a LONG line now because the other mini bar closed. They should have just served me the first time. Ridiculous. I wasn’t the only one who thought they were grumpy. The lady behind me said they were too! Picture of them attached. Ambiance horrible because it’s way too many people!

AMEX does have some very nice benefits, especially the platinum card. And yes, recently signed up for the Mirror card. The place is very clean. The food is great and they had different drinks and I have to say that their coffee is one of the best that I’ve had anywhere. So I’m the same day I took advantage of two different lounges at two different airports as I had a stop over and enjoyed the AMEX benefits of eating at their lounge. Though I noticed a slide difference in quality from the New York to the Denver location, in general, this benefit of getting some snacks and drinks is great The New York LaGuardia airport lounge was specially very good. I would go there again for sure when I’m flying out of there. Recommend it for sure.
