Centurion Lounge at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
On February 14, American Express will open a new Centurion Lounge at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), the busiest airport in the world. At nearly 26,000 square feet, it is the largest lounge in the Centurion Lounge network.
The new lounge features a locally-inspired menu from Atlanta-based Chef Deborah VanTrece, numerous seating options for guests to relax or work before their flight, outdoor terraces with views of the airfield, and The Reserve by American Express, a bespoke whiskey bar serving signature cocktails designed by Jim Meehan, Centurion Mixologist, along with a selection of classic and new American whiskeys.
The new Centurion Lounge at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is located in Concourse E near gate E11.
We first learned about this lounge back in 2021, and then most details were revealed in early 2022. The Centurion Lounge at ATL was first scheduled to open in 2023, but better late then never.
Here are some of the highlights of the latest lounge in the Centurion Lounge program:
-
Modern, Global Soul Food: Chef Deborah VanTrece, James Beard Award semifinalist and owner of local Atlanta restaurants Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours, Oreatha’s At The Point and La Panarda, brings her culinary expertise and flair to the lounge’s menu offerings.
-
The Centurion Network’s First Whiskey Bar: Celebrating the rich history of American whiskey, The Reserve by American Express is the first dedicated whiskey bar in a Centurion Lounge with a cocktail menu curated by award-winning mixologist, Jim Meehan.
-
Nature-Inspired Interiors: Embracing Atlanta’s reputation as “the city in the forest”, the lounge’s art and design feature commissioned artwork from local artists and a relaxing ambiance accentuated by a 50-year-old olive tree and a 3,850 square foot custom light sculpture.
-
Outdoor Terraces: Offering views of the airfield, visitors can enjoy multiple landscaped outdoor seating areas (a first for the Centurion Network!) which are equipped to enjoy year-round.
