American Express is once again elevating the airport lounge experience with the opening of their 29th Centurion Lounge at Washington Reagan National Airport on July 17.

Unlike any other Centurion Lounge, this location will feature dishes inspired by Latin, Israeli, and Hawaiian cuisines. This partnership with multiple chefs promises a unique culinary experience for travelers.
The bar at the Washington Reagan Centurion Lounge will not disappoint either. Mixologist Jim Meehan has crafted specialty cocktails, such as the Haku Hanami, which pays homage to the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C. Additionally, wine director Anthony Giglio has curated a selection of wines from Virginia vineyards. These exclusive cocktail and wine offerings will surely impress even the most discerning of travelers.
Beyond the culinary delights, the Washington Reagan Centurion Lounge also showcases the work of local Washington artists. Visitors can admire art pieces by Claudia “Aziza” Gibson-Hunter, Maggie O’Neill, and Lori Katz. A standout feature in the dining area is an abstract work by Emon Surakitkoson, inspired by the Potomac River. The central dining area boasts a mesmerizing ceiling sculpture made up of 260 lanterns, reflecting the original boundary markers of the city from its founding in 1791.
