American Express has announced the reopening of the Centurion Lounge at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) following an expansion and renovation project. Spanning 16,000 square feet, the lounge is now nearly double in size and offersmore seating, an additional bar with specialty wine flights and a new menu.
The Centurion Lounge at SFO now additionally houses two wine bars and café areas, additional restrooms, private phone rooms, several private workspaces and more. The lounge is located in Terminal 3 on the mezzanine level. The newly expanded lounge also sports two custom floor-to-ceiling wall coverings by abstract artist Tracie Cheng, and new interior design that takes cues from the local vineyards, landscape and the iconic San Francisco fog to give guests a sense of relaxation.
At the lounge's new bar, guests can enjoy specialty wine flights highlighting four regional wines curated by Anthony Giglio, sommelier and wine director, Centurion Lounge. The new bar complements the existing wine wall where guests can sample wines from across California. The wine flights will rotate seasonally, starting with a Sonoma Chardonnay flight and a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon flight.
The lounge also has a new seasonal menu that celebrates Bay Area purveyors from Ravi Kapur, executive chef, Liholiho Yacht Club. The Hawaiian-born, James Beard Award-nominated chef will continue to bring his flair to the Centurion Lounge at SFO with dishes inspired by his lineage and family memories. These include gochujang marinated chicken thighs, wild rice and coconut soup, and black vinegar and honey glazed baby carrots.
Good to know: American Express plans to open new lounge locations at the Reagan National Airport (DCA) in Washington, D.C. and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
