Airports Are Creating Inclusive Quiet Spaces Where All Travelers Can Find Calm

"Earlier this month, in one of its luxe Centurion Lounges at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental airport, American Express rolled out a new space focused on helping travelers reset and have a moment of mindfulness before boarding their flights. It’s a bit of an airport dreamscape, complete with plush lounge chairs, calming teas, and neck warmers to melt away any tension from the TSA line; travelers also get free access to the Calm meditation app while in the lounge. The Calm space inside Houston's Centurion Lounge. The lounges have been the gold-standard for airport relaxation, but now similar amenities are becoming more accessible."

A small wait; crowded/packed to the gills. The food here (and other domestic Amex lounges I’ve been to) is just terrible. This one in particular has a small buffet line of sub standard food offerings. At least the pilsner is fresh. I’m about to leave after my beer and go get some real food that I will gladly pay for.

The Centurion Lounge at Houston Airport is truly impressive! The space is beautifully renovated—modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels calm and welcoming, a perfect escape from the busy terminal. The staff are professional and friendly, and the food and beverage selection is excellent, with something for everyone. Whether you’re working, relaxing, or just grabbing a bite, this lounge offers a premium experience. Definitely one of the best spots to unwind at Houston Airport!

Had a connecting flight in Houston and was always anticipate the Centurion lounge for creative dishes and relaxation . Love their chef ! Staff friendly and accommodating ! They serve healthy meals , fruits, have a bar and all complimentary of course have clean bathrooms and quality handwashing sips and lotion and resting nooks.

Good quality food, good drinks, attentive and friendly service. A bit smaller compared to the other Amex lounges but it has a nice decor.

A small and busy lounge - get the code does help to beat the waiting list. I wasn’t sure I would go. So when I got to the front desk, there was a waiting list. Bathrooms are available at the back of the alley and is dirty and dilapidated. I think I’m ruined by the ATL one: as it happened, we went a few minutes after their opening day at 6am. It was high ceiling, new and spacious … beam me down to earth -:) The bar tender said it’s busy as usual. One short counter against the wall holds the food (if I’m not mistaken): yogurt, fruits and hot eggs, bacons. Some strawberries shouldn’t be there at all. The entrance from the third floor is a little tricky - a sharp left, immediately outside of the duty free shop - I was going to there from Terminal C.

Wait was only like 8 min…United was 45 min. Bar tender amazing, food great, atmosphere and customer service was perfect…even took a shower and was amazingly clean. Flight kept getting delayed. But they said no issue, stay here, eat more and drink more, lol. Def recommend! Thanks to the staff here and Brian as my bartender! Def will recommend and be back!

Great lounge with good food. Limited selection compared to the Delta Sky Lounges I’ve been too, but it was sufficient. The lounge is a little hard to find.

I’ve consistently had great experiences at Centurion Lounges, and this location was no exception. From the moment I arrived, the friendly front desk staff made the check-in process smooth and convenient. It was busy but pretty spacious with enough seating to find somewhere and relax. One of the standout details was the black-and-white framed pictures in the back hallway which gave a nice touch to the overall decor. I happened to get lucky with timing by arriving at 11:30 AM just as lunch was being served. Although I could only stay for about 30 minutes due to boarding, I managed to enjoy the smothered chicken with steamed rice, which was absolutely delicious. The bartender also crafted a perfect whiskey sour, adding to the great experience. What I appreciated most was the lounge’s secluded feel—it really provided a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the airport. I only wish I had more time to relax and enjoy everything it had to offer. This lounge definitely lives up to the Centurion standard!

The check-in was fairly seamless although it was at capacity when we arrived. We only had to wait maybe 5-7 minutes though. They have a nice area where they prohibit phone usage which was quiet and secluded. Excellent option if you're tired or need some peace to do work. They were in between breakfast and lunch so we didn't get to see the full display. They had some nice drink options and you can definitely tell that they try to make it a stress-free experience which is not easy in a large airport. In comparison, a lounge like United feels 10x more crowded. Definitely use this if you have the opportunity.

This is one of my favorite Centurion Lounges! However, be aware that there's often a wait of at least 40 minutes, so I recommend joining the waitlist on the Amex app as soon as you land. A host will seat you upon entry. The lounge offers WiFi, complimentary drinks with a great drink menu, and delicious food, though the selection is somewhat limited. I hadn't visited this lounge in nearly a year, but the server who helped me last time still remembered me and was incredibly kind. That speaks volumes about the exceptional hospitality you can expect here.

This lounge is on the small side, but I was able to find a seat with no problems. The staff are very friendly and attentive. They also had very delicious French toast. I found out they have a meditation room and a sleep room. I didn't use either, but a nice addition!

So, the food is really why the Centurion Lounge shines. There is such a wide selection, and it is very clear the lounge cares about the taste and quality of the food, as well as the amount of food available; even the presentation in the buffet is incredible! With the new Centurion Lounge limitations, the lounge is not as crowded as it has been in the past, which while a positive for the lounge experience, definitely is a hit as my partner can no longer join. The lounge is comfortable, and at a comfortable volume for a lounge. The service staff are a little too over eager in their cleaning and swiped my dish with my remaining fruit when I got up to grab a pancake. An unfortunate and unnecessary waste of good food.

This lounge is so beautiful and feels super exclusive. I rarely post a review while I'm currently there BUT this one made me feel like a true Yelp elite. There is a private entrance with elevator access through a store. Then you get to walk through and validate your AMEX account. I am starting to love AMEX lounges more than the sky miles ones. The breakfast selection was okay but more importantly I get to relax before my flight. Will definitely come back to this one.

I liked the Amex Lounge much more than United Club. This is on the smaller side and was busy but this is a great lounge. The food was excellent as far as lounges go and the thing that stood out was the service. All the employees were so attentive and funny, not what you usually see at airport lounges. Keep going Centurion Lounge, you are setting a high standard. Note that this was hard to find and the entrance is right in the middle of the duty free store.

Not too large and we waited about 15 minutes but the staff are very nice. They place you in terms of seating location after you check in which I appreciate so you are not walking around trying to find a spot. Food is decent and has some cold and hot dishes and some I haven't seen in other lounges such as spicy cucumber salad. WiFi was an ok speed. Restrooms are small and looked like it had only one shower room.

This Centurion Lounge is woefully small. We arrived on a Wednesday afternoon while the lounge was at max capacity. The employees at this lounge are very hardworking and diligent, but it's not enough to offset the overall disappointment of this location. The employees did their best to manage the influx of visitors to the lounge. We had to wait in a queue, but this was not a terribly long wait. Waiting to enter into Centurion Lounges is not a new thing, so where this location falls flat is the lack of food options and not so intuitive design. The food options were limited to a very short buffet style service, where most everything was of a savory variety. All I really wanted was a yogurt or something light along those lines. I've been to many other Centurion Lounges where there are plentiful options, but this just feels lacking in every way. Also disappointing is the lack of space. Every single table and seat was occupied. This lounge is shockingly small for such a large and busy airport. Overall, this lounge just cannot handle the volume of travelers and the lack of resources and space creates a disappointing experience. The hardworking employees do what they can to offset the immutable obstacles working against them, but unless there is a complete overhaul of the space (I mean huge expansion and rethinking of their offerings), it's going to be a cramped and not-so-relaxing place.

After a failed attempt at trying to enter the KLM Crown Lounge (please reference my review if interested), my wife used her American Express (AMEX) lounge locator to find another lounge. The locator pointed us to the AMEX Centurion Lounge, which also happened to have positive Yelp reviews. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by an employee at the front desk who checked us in and informed us that there may be a small wait for seating for two. Less than five minutes later, another employee greeted and ushered us to a table for two located in close proximity to the bar. After getting settled in, my wife and I observed the various food and drink options. We observed a pretty nifty looking coffee station, a buffet style food area, and the bar with seating and plenty of liquor options. I grabbed a few of the food options and ordered an extra dirty martini from the bar. Unfortunately, the food seemed to lack in the taste department; however, the bartender makes great drinks! As we put a dent in our seven hour layover, I consumed two more drinks (all well-made) and my wife couldn't stop talking about her lemon drops. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at this lounge. There are many seating variations for folks that may need to sit in a cozy chair and take a nap, or for those that need a table to respond to work emails on their laptop. As an FYI, this lounge has a three hour time limit; so please keep that in mind if your intentions are to burn through a layover that extends past the limit. I recommend checking out this lounge, wishing you safe travels!

I can only compare this American Express Centurion Lounge, at George Bush Airport (IAH), with the only other Centurion Lounge I have been to at the newly renovated San Francisco (SFO) location. It makes it a bit unfair, as the large, newly renovated Centurion Lounge has a shiny, spacious halo, that makes it difficult to compare the two sister lounges. I arrived at IAH with only an hour and 15 minutes to spare between the next boarding (from IAH to CRP). Frazzled, I walked hastily through Terminal C, towards Terminal D, and searched for the Centurion Lounge sign. As everybody has already mentioned, the elevator to the Mezzanine Floor is on the right corridor of a World Duty Free business, which makes it a bit confusing. The check-in process was seamless, and despite only having 45 minutes before the lounge closed, the staff was very courteous and helpful. The food selection was a fraction of the offerings at SFO, but it was understandable. The layout was spacious and it was easy to find a spot to relax and enjoy a beverage (or two if you have the time). Due to the late connecting flight (departing at 9pm and arriving at 11pm), this lounge was a saving grace, as every other restaurant at IAH was starting to close and every restaurant in Corpus Christie was closed by the time I arrived. The broccolini was a bit tough, but this is permissible as I was 45 minutes from closing. The miso tofu was phenomenal that I went back for seconds. The signature juice - some type of pineapple and guava concoction, was light and delightful. My favorite item would have been the perfectly sticky and ooey brownie. I went for a second one before leaving the lounge, a well planned 30-minute total trip at this IAH American Express Centurion Lounge.

This lounge is tiny, unkept, and dirty. The food options were slim-to-none, and the food service and selections were not great at all. The food was cheap and commercial. I'm also wondering about the setup-- as busy as this lounge is, the food setup should really be revamped-- it's too congested and not enough room for folks to maneuver. There should be two food lines, one food line isn't sufficient.

I used to think the worst Centurion lounge was in LGA. Then I came to Houston! Just several connected rooms with no theme. Smallest food selection I've seen in a Centurion Lounge with the ubiquitous copy and pasted chicken as the usual standard. They've permanently posted signs that state they're at capacity even when they are not. Don't be scared away. At check in the only two agents on duty were assisting a clueless traveler with flight information even though they have zero ties to any airline. They ignored a line that formed behind him. At least the bartender was fastidious.

First time being at this lounge and it didn't disappoint! The food, the service. Even though it was really full when I first came in, I found a seat, was able to eat, and was asked if I wanted anything to drink right away. Very attentive and kind servers. The food was also very good. Nothing like I have had before at other lounges. Best one yet!

I would love to review the American Express Centurion Lounge at Terminal D in IAH, however I cannot since even though I'm a loyal Platinum card carrying customer who was refused entry base on discrimination. The man at the front desk denied me and my daughters entry because my 2 year old was crying (She would have stopped if he had let us in so I could give her some food). I am a mother traveling alone with her kids and to be refused entry, and refused entry so rudely and with such rude facial expressions even my 8 year old teared up at the treatment, is discriminatory. I will be filing a formal complaint.

Worth all the stars....if you can find it. The location can be a bit tricky if you don't pay close attention to signage. At first it'll seem a bit weird because you're ducking into the duty free shop and then down a hallway, up an elevator and down a longer hallway. You may be assigned a seat, depending on if there's a wait/how busy the lounge is. The food is top notch for a lounge. I was there mid-afternoon and the variety was substantial - enough for an early evening meal and keep me full for a 3 hour flight. If you're flying out of IAH, this lounge is worth the find!

It was very packed this time, blame it on the holiday season. The staff were accommodating as per usual. I usually don't enjoy the lounge food but there were these garlic potato balls that were delicious! I went back for seconds.

Unfortunately like many of the reviews, the AMEX centurion lounges have become ridiculously packed. The wait itself was 30-40 minutes and once we got in, it almost felt like a zoo. There were people everywhere and you have to almost squeeze by some people to get to places. While the decor holds the ambiance, the crowd makes it hard for it to be a relaxing experience. Other than the check in experience, the food was great as always, and they were constantly refilling the stations to ensure there would be enough. The wellness shot was very yummy along with the cantaloupe juice. Thank god for plenty of outlets and great wifi. It was easy taking a quick meeting at the lounge despite the chaos.

We stopped by here on our way back home from big island Hawai'i. This place is great. There are quite a lot of selection of food even at 630am when we stopped by. The fruits has a few selections also. The staff here are nice and service was fast at picking up our plates that we were done with. I definitely recommend stopping by this lounge if you have time. You do need to either have an Amex card or pay in cash for it.

Located in terminal D of the Intercontinental Airport of Houston (IAH), this Centurion Lounge is a good place to grab a drink or two and a couple of bites before boarding your plane. The Delta AMEX Reserve card allows access to the cardholder for both Delta Sky Clubs and AMEX Centurion Lounges, when taking a same day Delta flight. IAH doesn't have a Sky Club (since Delta has only a small presence here, only flying to Delta Hub Cities), so this was our only choice for a lounge (since we were flying domestic). It's hard to find, since it is located one level below the main gates in terminal D. To get down there, one needs to actually enter the Duty-free shop near Gate D12 and look for a sign. There is an elevator going down, and you walk a long hallway to get to the entrance (it is the only lounge that I could see situated in the area). You wait in a queue to let the greeter look over your AMEX card, ID, and boarding pass. They will waitlist you if the lounge gets dangerously overcrowded, but they let us through this time. It was still very crowded inside during the mid afternoon, and felt lucky to find some empty seats with a small table. As one can imagine, one has to be careful in navigating around the overcrowdedness and carry-on bags lying around. The selection of food was small with one station, but well crafted, and because of the busyness, the food was pretty fresh. I ended up getting two servings of the basil chicken thighs and with a large portion of white rice, was a satisfying late lunch. Centurion is top notch for beverage selection, both alcoholic and non. They have top shelf labels available complementary (unlike Sky Club where you have to pay), and this location had 3 draft beers on tap (with only 1 being an IPA). I tried the malty brown ale along with a crisp lager...both super cold and so refreshing on a hot day. There is a suggested unique cocktail list that you can order from. The bartender will only serve one drink per person at a time to take back to your table. However, there are a few table servers moving around the lounge, and will gladly refill your glass if you can get their attention. They have a good selection of non-alcoholic self serve stations, with soda, seltzer being available. There was a dedicated, reserved space for elite Centurion AMEX member (maybe Black Card members?), but it didn't seem that impressive, especially since you could see inside of it and there was no noise proofing. The bathrooms are older and small. And because you are in the lower floor below the gates, there is no view or natural light at all. Lounges have really upped their game in the past 5 years, as this would have been considered very good before. But now, this is at the lower end on the list of the various Centurion lounges we've visited, but still absolutely worth a visit if you have some time before your flight at IAH, and want to pass it by with a drink or two.

A rather mediocre airport lounge, not as good an experience as an average United Club. It feels crowded and they are slow to clean up empty tables, which makes it more crowded. The hot and cold food selections were minimal, although the chocolate chip cookies were very good. Fast bartenders and good drinks.

Get a new location, otherwise, this platinum perk is useless. Long wait times, very crowded, this lounge leaves a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to amex platinum; tarnishing the brand.

Everyone was extremely nice. The food was good and the espresso was excellent. My only complaint no champagne mimosas until after 11am on Sunday. We had to pay a 30.00 entry fee for our 2 year old. They had plenty of seating and the decor was very nice. I love the art work thru out the lounge.

Bummer that the bar does not start serving until after 10 - I know many of us road warriors enjoy a morning Prosecco or two! The Centurion Lounge at IAH tends to be quite underwhelming compared to other airport locations. Hope they can improve as part of all the upgrades IAH is going through soon!

So I am traveling with an infant and two amex plat cards. They would not let us enter the lounge prior to three hours before our flight. We are with an infant. We needed to change the infant. No way they said, it's policy. We pay over 900 a year for these cards and we get treated like this? Amex is a real joke these days. What horrible service. The policy is not widely communicated either. Just terrible. It's too small. The food is mediocre. The bartenders are uninspired and don't even give the drink a little stir. there is not enough comfortable seating. there is not enough food options. The Delta lounge in LA is killing this place right now.

Super glad to have had a space to relax for a little bit in before boarding for my flight. There aren't too many lounge options available (that I have access to anyway) at IAH, so was super excited to see that there was a Centurion Lounge available. Took the SKYWAY (airside) from Terminal C to Terminal D for the lounge. Got the QR code on my way over using the AMEX app, checked in and was seated in the bar area within a minute of arrival. Had a server named Jeremy assigned to my table/area. He was incredibly friendly and provided extraordinary service. Made drink recommendations and even offered to swap out the drink if I didn't like what I ended up tasting. It did take a little while for my cocktail to arrive, but that's likely just because of how many drinks the two hardworking bartenders had to make. The hot food bar was a bit disappointing, if I'm being honest, as compared to other Centurion Lounges I've been lucky enough to have visited (SFO, LAS, SEA, DEN, etc.). However, super glad I was able to get a bit of hot food and dessert without having to incur additional out-of-pocket at the airport. Left 10 mins before boarding and walked back to gate in Terminal C instead of taking the SKYWAY and made it in time. 4/5 will definitely visit again in the future if traveling out of IAH by myself (since you have to pay for guests now if not spending at least $60k a year).

Great AMEX lounge. Crowded like all lounges now it seems. Sometimes hard to even find a seat (day and time of day matter when trying to avoid overcrowding at AMEX lounges). What I love about these lounges are the always clean restrooms and just the overall cleanliness. The food options are typical here as most other AMEX lounges. The cocktails at the bar are always good and a welcome respite from the airport busyness. They have a juice station and the juice is usually a delicious option (this one at the time of my visit was a beet/apple variety). Just wish these lounges were all bigger as it only seems like they will continue to be used more and more in the future.

I've been coming to Centurion lounges for 3+ years now and the service has always been stellar. They added a hostess to seat people during busy hours - and be warned, if you try to enter during the breakfast (8:15-9:00) or lunch (11:30-12:30) rushes, especially on weekends, there will be a 5-10+ minute wait - which helped a lot. It's not the fault of the lounge staff that AMEX has issued so many Platinum cards, so people saying that the lounge is too small, get over yourselves. Food offering remains better than most airport offerings and complimentary juice, coffee, and cocktails are always a positive. Even during the morning breakfast rush, I'm able to ask the bar to add some Bailey's to my coffee with minimal wait. I'm also delighted that over time, they've taken allergies more seriously and clearly mark most common allergies now. Pre-wrapped chocolate muffins can also be a nice treat to snack on the plane. Please don't forget to tip your bartender and waitstaff :)

I've been to a decent amount of Centurion Lounges and Escape Lounges. The food was more of a meal, but a minimal variety and diversity of selection was served. Food is near equivalent to an Escape Lounge. The lounge was always at full capacity, but the staff did a good job with accommodating larger groups and families by utilizing the Centurion reserved areas to keep guests together.

You'd think with the limitation of bringing in guests it'd improve how crowded it is usually in an Amex lounge. But nope, it's just as crowded as usual with every seat taken. It is a small space that feels congested. Although we didn't had to wait to get in but I'd prefer sitting in a restaurant with less crowds around me. I don't think it's worth getting the plat for the centurion lounge anymore.

WiFi Password: MemberSince This Centurion Lounge is hidden in Terminal D. This is definitely the smallest Centurion lounge I've been to, but the quality of the food is still there. They have a lot of comfortable seating, and the bar/kitchen area is small, but has a lot of options. There's plenty of free alcohol that you can get at the bar, and the food selection, while crowded, has a lot to offer. Their breakfast consisted of eggs, sausage, pancakes, a tofu and pineapple, curry, a Shakshuka, fruits, yogurt, juices, and smoothies. The nice thing is that this lounge was not that busy in the morning. Most centurion lounges are packed all the time! Even if you fly out of a different terminal, there is a sky train that connects you to all the other terminals within about five minutes.

Had two hours to kill so the lounge was the spot to be! This lounge was organized really well as they ensured that you had a seat. As it got more packed, they would walk you to an available seat for your group size. Wonderful cocktails with many options! They also had specially made juice, tea and a latte/cappuccino machine which was amazing. Food was good, with a mix of soups, mains, salad, and for dessert there was delicious cake and cookies. Most of the seating had an area where you could use chargers.

Houston centurion lounge is the absolute pinnacle in airport lounge experiences. From the "Calm" meditation lounge to the incredible signature drinks, there is truly something for everyone. Be sure to hit up my man Charles who is a master bartender with a charisma matched by none! The food served is fantastic and ethnically diverse and everyone is friendly and on the top of their game.

Yep, I was lounging in the AMEX Centurion Lounge while I had a long layover between flights in Houston. I had met up with friends heading to the same destination, and this place was the absolute spot to chill out in between flights. When I came they had a small breakfast buffet with complimentary drinks. The food was very good, and the service was great!! They made sure to keep the place quiet also, they had a phone room if you needed to make a call. Lots of chairs and comfortable couches to sit on. You have to take an elevator to get here, which does get crowded, but it's well worth it. A great place to be if you have an American Express Card and a lot of time in the airport!!

Love the American Express Centurion lounge. This IAH location has the friendliest staff and provides excellent service. Holding back on the 5th star due to a close time of 8pm. It's my favorite lounge in IAH but I'm not able to enjoy it frequently due to my evening flight times. IF I'm able to sprint from my connecting gate to terminal D before the lounge closes, usually they are about to close the bar (walked in more than on one occasion where the bar was already closed) and the food is at the end of service (cold and not at its best). The food selection has declined through the years. Hoping I can come back during the day time to enjoy the full amenities the IAH lounge has to offer!

The AMEX Platinum has been so useless for me with regards to The Centurion Lounge at LAX that I hadn't even thought of looking up whether IAH had one. So when I landed at IAH and realized that there actually was one there, I knew I had to at least check it on my way out. Getting here is a bit of a maze as you have to go through Terminal C and through the duty free shop before you get to an elevator that takes you down to the floor where the lounge is. Then you have to walk the corridor before you actually get to the lounge. Sound confusing? Yeah, because it is. The lounge itself is...cozy, I guess? It's not really overly impressive because of how it's located below ground. No windows at all for natural light. But AMEX does do a good job of making sure there's lot of seats for you to relax at, work at, or eat at. The food is really why I came here. On this particular day, they had tomatillo roasted beef, charred cauliflower and black-eye pea stew, steamed corn with pickled peppers are garlic aioli, and warm potato salad with buttermilk dressing. Also had a full salad bar. I mean, the food was fine, not the best I've had at a lounge but it was free. The bar did look popping, but since I don't drink it wasn't really useful to me. The Houston Centurion Lounge was fine, but it still doesn't compare to one in Miami, which is the reason I even got the AMEX Platinum card in the first place. It was a fine visit, but nothing super noteworthy.

Location: Terminal D just above the international check in area Verdict: Small as the expectations were a bit high due to Texas is always bigger. Food is mediocre and bland as compared to the other lounges. Service is top notch, from the check in area to the bar. Everyone is so attentive. 2 star demerit was size and food

One of the smaller Centurion lounges I've been to, but it did the trick for a place to relax and eat before my flight. Luckily I didn't have to wait, although an attendant led me to my seat...the place was absolutely packed on a Saturday afternoon. Service overall seemed to be good. Food was good as usual. Seemed to be more limited in options due to the overall size of the lounge, but the offerings were tasty. TIP: Lounge is difficult to find as the entryway is located INSIDE the duty free shop.

I always get excited when I know there's a centurion lounge where my airport is. So we definitely had to try this place. We had a layover at this airport, and not going to lie- this lounge was a walk. We were there when in opened in the AM. We were welcomed right away, and walking in there was plenty of seats to find. This lounge was a little bit smaller compared to other centurions, but it did what it was supposed to. Their food was good! We liked their little smoothies a lot. FYI they do not serve alcohol until 0700, so morning mimosas will have to wait until then. I can see this location getting busy real fast, so if your in the area I recommend saving a spot through the app.

This lounge was crowded!! Most had to wait to be seated. The Servers were very nice and helpful. The entry staff and others moving about were much less so. They were rather aloof and not very friendly. The food bar was relatively small but the food items were good and restocked frequently. There was a small area to get coffee from machines, and the bar in the area stayed packed. Again, this lounge was not very large and was quite crowded.

Great ambience with good, solid food options. One of the smaller lounges but with excellent service and well lit areas.

Worst lounge I've been to. Check in process is problematic, the bartender is a total of one person, be sure to ask for no flies in your drink, lastly, for food if you like your chicken medium you're in luck. Enjoy!

The best lounge at Houston airport. It's clean and you feel like home. The food is always exciting. What ever Terminal I arrive, I make sure there's time enough to come here and relax The lounge is in Terminal D below the Duty Free Shop I honestly can't believe someone would give less than FOUR STARS. The place is clean, staff is great, food is excellent and free!

Wow I was so impressed with the Centurion Lounge at Houston Airport IAH! My international flight was delayed and after going to the unimpressive United Club, I Stumbled upon the American Express Centurion Lounge in Terminal D. Finally I get to use this perk with my Platinum Card! I arrived at 10:44 am, the tail end of breakfast service where the food was delicious! Scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, mini pancakes, granola, fruit salad, yogurt. Then at 11 am, lunch was served and it was Indian buffet! Chef Justin Yu gets 10 stars for his recipes! Sous chef Demetrius Blake made the lunch and it was outstanding! Carrot and cilantro soup, grilled chicken thighs with oregano gremolata, za'atar flash fried cauliflower, chickpea salad, turmeric jasmine rice, Cobb salad, wheatberry salad - all delicious! Very happy I found the Centurion Lounge!

Pretty decent AMEX lounge. Been to a few Centurion lounges in different airports & I've been to this one twice now. Getting here can be problematic - it's located in the D gates and you need to take an elevator that's located inside a duty free store. Kind of hidden away. The first time there was a huge line to get in, the second time I just walked right up. Guess it depends on the time of day how busy it is. There's some comfortable seating, but mostly just tables. Of course there's the free buffet food & alcoholic drinks, breakfast was OK (garlic potatoes/bacon/scrambled eggs/fresh fruit) Lunch was delicious! (Broccoli, quinoa, dill rice, tomatoes, chocolate mousse with coconut shavings. 10/10)

Since IAH doesn't have a Delta Skymiles lounge, I decided to take the trek over to a different terminal to check out the AmEx Centurion lounge and I was very glad I did. It had an elevated appearance from most Delta lounges and the food was tasty, a bit more gourmet and replenished frequently. Restrooms are clean and well appointed and service throughout the lounge was great. The big negative was the size of the lounge and the wait to get in - it felt cramped and busy. Hopefully with some of the changes that have been made to their program this issue will get better. Overall I'm glad I made the hike over for a quick visit!

It took a little work to find the lounge. It is in the D terminal near gate D6 but the elevator to get to the level is actually inside and to the rear of the duty-free store. Once inside it was well worth the effort. There was plenty of space for me to sit down the food was good coffee was great.

Centurion is located at the D terminal of Houston international Airport aka George Bush international Airport. It is hidden through the Duty Free shop. You have to go via the duty free shop to get in centurion. It is located at the basement above the baggage section of the airport. Arrived here at 430pm and they have a hot meal compared with United Club. We just came from the United Club. This place is serving Indian hot meal today.

Absolutely disgusting lounge. Rude service, incredibly overcrowded, was going to sit at a table and a worker ran over and blocked me from sitting down 5 min later he saved the seat for another customer. Seemed very petty. Place is dirty food was cold. Definitely not worth the yearly fee I pay for Amex credit cards and Delta cards. Incredibly disappointing experience. If you are in IAH please go to KLM or untied lounge. They are far better. Way less crowded.
