Lounge Location, Design & Amenities

The new 8,500 square-foot Capital One Lounge is located just beyond the airport’s TSA PreCheck, between the East and West Security Checkpoints. The historic Washington Dulles International Airport terminal, designed by world-renowned architect Eero Saarinen, served as inspiration for the mid-century modern approach to designing and furnishing the space.

Located in Capital One’s hometown, the Capital One Lounge at IAD is another testament to Capital One’s continued commitment to the National Capital Region and building incredible experiences for both residents and travelers alike.

As with all Capital One Lounges, the new Capital One Lounge at IAD features unique, locally-inspired, premium amenities that provide visitors with a best-in-class travel experience from the moment they step through the door. It’s thoughtfully designed to accommodate all types of travelers, from those looking for a quick drink or bite before they board their flights to those who are looking for a place to relax and recharge before their travel journey.

The Lounge showcases historic architectural images of the airport’s original control tower and terminal and also features beautiful teak wood architectural elements and mid-century modern furniture.

Additional amenities at the Capital One Lounge at IAD include:

• A parent’s room featuring comfortable seating for caregivers who are feeding or nursing their children, as well as a changing table stocked with wipes, disposable diapers, and a bottle warmer

After debuting its first airport lounge in fall 2021 at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Capital One has seen exceptionally high satisfaction scores from customers and is excited to bring the unique Capital One Lounge experience to even more customers.
