American Express undergoes its largest Centurion Lounge Network expansion to date across four locations. The network expansion includes a brand-new Centurion Lounge at Newark Liberty International Airport, a second lounge at London Heathrow Airport, and significant expansions of existing lounges at both Philadelphia International Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Slated to open in 2027, the new lounge at EWR will cover more than 30,000 square feet and eventually be the largest Centurion Lounge to date. In fact, when this lounge opens, American Express will become the first credit card issuer with proprietary lounges across all three major New York City-area airports and the first credit card issuer with two proprietary lounges at LHR.

The new ERW lounge will span two floors in Terminal A, featuring experiences inspired by New Jersey’s culinary and cultural scene, including three distinct bars, Blue Roast by American Express, and menus from The Culinary Collective by The Centurion Lounge.

At LHR, the second Centurion lounge will grace Terminal 5 in 2028, complete with premium food and beverage offerings, a V.I.P. area, and a variety of seating and dedicated work areas. The PHL lounge is slated to be fully updated by 2027, doubling in size across two stories for even more space for cardmembers.

Also in 2028, the existing Centurion Lounge in Houston (IAH) will nearly triple in size to more than 23,000 square feet, making it one of the largest Centurion Lounges in the network. Customers can expect specialty dining experiences, a second full-service bar, expanded seating, Blue Roast by American Express, and additional restrooms and showers.

The announcement closely follows American Express’ first Centurion Lounge in continental Europe, which debuted this September at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
