Spanning across 11,500 square feet, the Centurion Lounge features an elegant residential decor, which incorporates the card issuer’s signature branding elements along with local touches such as a DC-inspired art gallery. In the dining area, a sculpture made of 260 lanterns reflects the original boundary markers used to outline the city when it was founded in 1791.

The American Express Centurion Lounge at Ronald Raegan Washington National Airport is a beautiful space with an elevated range of amenities, but it’s compact, and it’s bound to be popular. Unfortunately, some amenities, like the shower suite, are unlikely to be available, and a waitlist might be the norm.

Overall ratings
They strictly enforce their “3 hours before your flight” rule, so if you’re even 10 minutes before that, then go to the Admiral’s Club, which has a much friendlier approach. Food is typical lounge food – no worse than other lounges, but certainly no better. The comfortable seats are reserved for Centurion members; mere AmEx customers have a more crowded and significantly less comfortable area. When I was there, a guy was talking really loudly and dropping F-bombs every other word. Not necessarily the lounge’s fault, but they certainly made no effort to address the issue, even though there were families with little kids around.
