AMEX Centurion Lounge Seattle

This year Seattle scored a big upgrade in their AMEX Centurion Lounge. Completely from scratch, this Centurion is at a brand new location above the mezzanine level at the airport’s Central Terminal. Stylistically, it reminds me a lot of the AMEX Centurion Lounge Hong Kong with its open air layout.

What’s unique about this Centurion is that it features a coffee roastery called

At the Blue Roast, it features wellness drinks such as “Strawberry Banana Smoothie”, “Green Machine Smoothie”, “Hearly Smoothie”, and/or even a “Power Bowl” if you feel like you’re already too caffeinated.

They even have Kombucha on tap.

Like Hong Kong, there’s a bar by the open terrace.

Overall, this is probably one of the more creative lounges in AMEX Centurion Lounges network. Rather than doing a cookie cutter design, this lounge expands in a massive way that does a nod to the city of Seattle. Even though the Alaska Airlines Flagship Lounge is better, it’s still worth a visit if you’re ever transiting in this area.

  1. While it is much better than the old location, it gets very crowded with a wait list at times (read: most of the time), and you have to go to the bar for soft drinks. I do like that there are usually plenty of vegetarian options.
