American Express Centurion Lounge

Honestly, this is probably my favorite Centurion Lounge within the US. Even if I’m flying out of the D gates with Delta, I make the effort to go to the E gates, this is by E 11, knowing it’s worth the time and effort. I love the massive space, 26,000 sq ft y’all, largest in the US. I like the different sections of seating, near the main dining area, there’s a gorgeous central design inspired by an olive tree I believe, a dedicated whiskey bar (if you’re into it), five phone booth rooms which comes in handy for my work meetings and there’s even 3 shower suites with Loccitane products. Best of all, their food has been consistently delicious and have always had variety and flavor. I love their mini smoothies (blueberry esp!) but had the turmeric pineapple mango today. They always have plenty of protein offerings and they have fresh pastries. Never stale thankfully. Service is attentive with lots of staff circling around to help and clean the areas. I just observed that when refilling food, most have been doing it really loud and heavy as if they’re unhappy with their jobs. The rest of the staff seem kind and helpful. Haven’t been drinking alcohol as much now by choice but the bars seem to be always packed and I could see some very happy campers. Looking forward to enjoy the terrace area once it’s warm again. Great job and thanks to the Centurion ATL lounge, one of the lounges where it does feel worth it being an AMEX Platinum card holder for years. Keep it up and love that southern hospitality! P.S Please bring back the blueberry smoothie too LOL! ☺️

Depending on what you’re looking for, this lounge will either leave you very satisfied or slightly underwhelmed. The standout amenity is definitely the showers. There are only two or three, though, and they were all occupied when I tried to use one. I didn’t feel like waiting, and a reservation system would make a lot of sense here. The atmosphere is excellent, with plenty of comfortable seating. The lounge manages capacity well, so it never feels overcrowded and you can always find a seat. Many seats have charging ports, which is a nice touch. There are multiple TVs throughout the space, a printer station, and free Wi-Fi. If you need to get work done, there’s ample quiet space, including private offices. There’s also an outdoor terrace with heaters, which is a great bonus. The food is just okay, but since it’s complimentary, that may or may not matter to you. One minor annoyance was the bartenders repeatedly asking clearly older guests for ID, myself included, which felt unnecessary. Overall, it’s a solid perk. If access is free, it’s absolutely worth using. That said, I’m not sure I’d pay $50 out of pocket for entry.

The Centurion Lounge in Atlanta is truly impressive from the moment you walk in. The space is beautifully designed, modern, clean, and incredibly comfortable. There are tons of seating options both inside and out, so it never feels cramped even during busy times. The lounge features two full food buffets, each with a great selection of high-quality dishes. Everything I tried was fresh, flavorful, and far better than typical airport food. In addition, there are two well-stocked bars offering a wide range of cocktails, spirits, wine, and beer—something for everyone. I also loved the dedicated coffee bar area, perfect for grabbing a latte or espresso to recharge before a flight. The restrooms are spacious and very clean, which is always appreciated during travel. Overall, the entire lounge is both beautiful and thoughtfully laid out, making it incredibly easy to relax or get some work done. If you’re flying through ATL, the Centurion Lounge is absolutely worth the stop.

Visually, I would say that this Centurion Lounge is one of my favorites within the domestic US. The atmosphere is very clean and the service is attentive. Whenever my plate was finished, there would be one of the employees clearing it for me in a timely manner. I will say that the food is very underwhelming and the selections don’t represent anything interesting based on the location of the lounge. There were two coffee machines that were out of service, which was frustrating, but they had some on the other side of the lounge if you could search for it. All in all, it’s worth it to spend time here in this lounge if there isn’t a really extensive waitlist. When I first signed up for the waitlist, it was about a 45 minute wait.

A huge shout-out to Maisha, the bartender at the ATL Centurion Lounge, who absolutely made my morning. From the moment I sat down, she was welcoming, kind, and wonderfully attentive. Her knowledge of the menu and her thoughtful, creative suggestions for cocktails, wine, and food were spot-on—and delivered with such genuine warmth that it elevated the entire experience. Maisha’s enthusiasm and care truly stand out. She has that rare ability to make you feel both relaxed and well taken care of, and it’s clear she’s a real asset to the Centurion Lounge team. Also worth celebrating: the avocado toast bar and the coconut blueberry overnight oats—both were fresh, delicious, and perfectly balanced. A fantastic start to the day, made even better by exceptional service. Thank you, Maisha, for turning a quick lounge visit into a memorable experience.

Great lounge when you’re there not during peak hours. Bartender was not very professional gave out dirty glasses and ignored customers. The wine stand guy was great though! 90 % of the works are outstanding. Recommend the patio when the weather is nice

Top Tier Airport Lounge Experience! The Centurion Lounge at ATL is hands down one of the best airport lounges I’ve ever visited. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick to make you feel at home. The food selection is outstanding fresh, flavorful, and a huge step above typical airport fare. The bar is fully stocked with premium spirits, and the cocktails are crafted perfectly. The lounge itself is spacious, modern, and has plenty of quiet seating areas, perfect for relaxing before a flight. Between the great service, clean environment, and top-notch amenities, this lounge makes long layovers actually enjoyable. Definitely worth a stop if you’re flying through Atlanta!

Best Centurion Lounge I've been in for a long time. Great layout with indoor and outdoor seating. Nice bars and spaces for everyone to be. Food was a great mix and had delicious local coffee. Bar was very busy but service was top notch and great quality as well. Can't recommend high enough and happy ATL has a lounge for us other than SkyClubs!
