Kids rooms are a feature of every Centurion lounge except for LaGuardia.ĭisturbing doll in the kids room. The dining room and buffet is off the bar. There’s a kids’ room, there’s a shower, and of course a buffet and bar. Perhaps furniture will create sense of discrete spaces that will contribute to a feeling of privacy. The furniture wasn’t all in just yet it so seemed like there weren’t any little nooks and crannies, just a big room, though that also made it feel more spacious than it probably really is. The lounge is gorgeous, which is to say that the design is very similar to the standard Centurion lounge aesthetic. So if the Centurion lounge is too busy, there are options. Of course this is the third lounge on just the D concourse that American Express Platinum cardmembers can access (because both the KLM and Air France lounges are Priority Pass lounges).

That may limit crowding, with fewer 10-15 minute drop-ins. And in some ways it may be desirable that it’s farther from the busiest parts of the airport, and a walk or ride away.

The location is a good one because all terminals in Houston are connected airside. You take an elevator up to the lounge.Īlthough last night we entered from outside security, beside the Qatar check-in desks, because the lounge had not yet cleared all of its inspections including a security sweep so it wasn’t yet permitted to be accessed airside. Terminal D is slated for replacement But American Express is also promised a place in the new international terminal once that’s built, and a 10 year lease there, so this not only gives American Express a place in Houston now it helps to ensure that they’ll have a home for their Centurion lounge into the future.
