The Atlanta Centurion Lounge is the latest Centurion Lounge to open worldwide and is also the largest. Unsurprisingly, this lounge has the largest footprint, considering the traffic that Atlanta airport sees daily! With separate indoor and outdoor areas, it’s an AvGeek’s haven.

Let’s look at all this lounge has to offer and what makes it so worthwhile.

This lounge is next to gate E11. With all gates at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) airside, you must take the interterminal SkyTrain to reach the E gates and then walk over to E11. The E gates are among several Delta flies out of, so it’s particularly convenient if you’re flying Delta, though it shouldn’t take too long to reach the lounge if you’re flying on another carrier.

Atlanta’s airport is massive, however, and even with the SkyTrain, you should leave plenty of time to get from the lounge to your departing flight. Don’t wait until the last minute!

This lounge is almost 26,000 square feet, double the size of the same lounge at DFW!

You’ll need one of the following American Express cards to enter the lounge:

When you enter the lounge, an employee will ask you to present a photo I.D. and boarding pass. You won’t be able to enter the lounge without these.

You need to follow these guidelines to enter:

The lounge has tons of seating throughout, making finding a place to sit a bit easier when the lounge is crowded at peak times.

Some of the other Centurion Lounge locations do not have power outlets at every seat, but the Atlanta lounge has charging at most seats.

Along the lounge’s windows are high seats facing the planes, which is excellent for AvGeeks. Like the other seats, there are power outlets along the rails.

Several flight status boards by the main entrance display the current departure times of all flights departing throughout the airport. As mentioned, you need to keep an eye on this and leave well before your flight, as Atlanta’s airport is so big!

This enormous lounge is built to accommodate the many cardmembers stopping by while transiting through Atlanta.

This Centurion Lounge offers several amenities for both work and play, with private workspaces and outdoor features to make the airport waiting game much more pleasurable.

There is a dual-use family room and multipurpose room, suitable for guests who need more space to spread out.

Unique to this lounge are 3 (yes, 3!) outdoor terraces, a first for any Centurion Lounge:

This lounge offers 3 shower suites, all of which can be reserved at the front desk. You put your name on a list, and when a shower is ready, your name is called. Towels and soap are provided, and the staff asks you to keep your time inside to less than 30 minutes when other guests are waiting.

In addition to the 3 showers, there were 2 private, all-gender restrooms, along with larger men- and women-only bathrooms.

Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the lounge. Centurion Lounges tend to have particularly fast Wi-Fi, good for downloading content before your departure.

Those looking to catch up on work can utilize 1 of 5 enclosed workstations. These individual stalls are behind glass doors and feature a table and chair, perfect for staying focused. These are first come, first serve and do not need any reservation.

Phone booths are the perfect place to sit down to work or take a quick conference call.

If you are conducting business, a printer and copier are also on hand.

On the far end of the lounge on the other side of the atrium are 2 buffet areas, with many booths and dining tables scattered throughout. This is where most of the lounge’s food is found.

For breakfast, guests can choose among dishes such as:

For lunch and dinner, dishes may include items such as:

As you can probably tell, a number of these dishes were a nod to the South. The menu was by local chef Deborah VanTrece, author of “The Twisted Soul Cookbook.”

The bars are located in this area, serving complimentary cocktails.

The bar has many fun cocktails, including:

Nearby is The Reserve by American Express, a dedicated whiskey bar beside the main bar where you can order your favorite whiskey drinks.

The new Atlanta Centurion Lounge offers the largest Centurion Lounge experience to date, a fitting addition to one of the busiest airports in the world. Complete with several outdoor terraces, this lounge is the ultimate in airport luxury. It offers the perfect mix of relaxation and productivity, which is great for all travelers.
