American Express will open and expand four Centurion Lounges.
New lounges will be opened at New York/Newark Liberty and London Heathrow, while existing lounges in Philadelphia and Houston will be expanded.
At Newark Liberty International Airport, American Express will open a two-level lounge spanning more than 2,800 square meters in Terminal A in 2027. The lounge has been enlarged from the plans announced initially. This will make American Express the first credit card company to operate its own lounges at all three major airports in the New York metropolitan area. The interior will be inspired by New Jersey’s culture and culinary traditions. In addition to the Blue Roast by American Express Coffee and Wellness Bar, serving espresso, cold brew, smoothies, avocado toast and more, the lounge will feature three bars. The main bar will offer craft cocktails and wine; the specialty bar will serve a menu that gives a contemporary take on the state’s diner culture; and the terrace bar will offer gelato, Italian pastries and Italian-style cocktails. Dining will include offerings from Culinary Collective by The Centurion Lounge, created by James Beard Award-winning chefs.
At London Heathrow Airport, a lounge will open in the A Concourse of Terminal 5 in 2028. It will cover more than 840 square meters. The interior will be designed around the flow and reflections of the River Thames, and the lounge will offer food and beverages, seating, a dedicated work area and a VIP area. American Express will become the first credit card company to operate two of its own lounges at the airport. The new lounge will complement the existing Terminal 3 lounge.
At Philadelphia International Airport, the lounge will be doubled in size to more than 1,100 square meters across two levels. It will temporarily close for renovations from October 16, with completion planned by the end of 2027.
At George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, the lounge will be nearly tripled in size to more than 2,100 square meters. A new dining area will serve plated dishes inspired by Houston’s food culture and the flavors of the Gulf Coast, while a second full-service bar will also be added. Renovated restrooms and shower suites will also be available. Completion is planned by 2028.
