Amex Centurion Lounge Denver (DEN) Opening Soon

It looks like that diagram came from Amex but it's partially incorrect. The tie-in point for the new C-east expansion begins immediately after the concessions subcore where the Amex lounge is located.

Exciting, but given how massive Denver Airport is, it's something of a hike to visit if you're flying out of a different concourse.

Great addition. Denver didn’t have much in terms of lounges — UA doesn’t even plan to add a Polaris which is disappointing so this is much needed.

It's great to see it finally opening, but the hours are disappointing. I'll be flying out on the 10th, but it'll be closed before I get to the airport. Even worse, I'll miss Miami on the return for the same reason.

Pumped!

Excited to see it finally open. Hopefully it was worth the wait, which it appears it will be.

To @Daniel's point, the dot is a little off (or the shading of the expansion is), but regardless it's not a far walk from the train. As far as other concourses go, I think it would only be annoying if your gate was at the far end of one of them which would involve a train + long walk.

DEN had a Priority Pass lounge in the works and United, I think, had plans for an additional lounge in A (both in the Center Core above the trains, I think). Not sure where those stand, but pretty sure no construction started before COVID and I'm sure they're in no rush now.

@DENDAVE I thought the PP lounge idea was dead. That was announced around the same time as the Centurian, but was then removed from the pipeline shortly thereafter.

Also, agreed on the location. It's not more than 10-15 minutes from anywhere in the airport unless you catch a big line for the train.

Any chance they are doing a soft-opening this weekend before the official opening on Feb. 1? I have 4 hours at DEN tomorrow.

I saw the signs up for its construction last time I was at DEN but I completely forgot about it til now. Unfortunately, I usually fly out of A on DL, so going straight to C from TSA then back to A is a bit time consuming but could be worth it compared to the SkyClub.

@MattR - Last I heard (maybe last spring) was that it was still under design. As Centurion showed, these projects don't move quick at DEN. I'm pretty sure the contract was signed/approved by City Council (who controls all such contracts there) so unless there was some exit clause, it should still be coming. Someday.

I'd actually done open records requests for the contract on the Centurion to try and see what the delay was, but it yielded nothing useful. Maybe if I'm bored someday I'll do the same here.

We will be flying through Denver on the 5th and have about an hour and a half. Since our gate is on the C concourse, we will stop in and have breakfast on our way to our departure gate on the B concourse.
Nice to have it open. United's lounge is down to the bare bones in terms of offerings. Maybe this will up their game a bit going forward and after Covid.

not sure why they picked the terminal with the lesser known airlines?? If the food is anywhere near as good as Frasca-Boulder it will be great.... nice and esp like seeing Scarpetta on the wine list,

@dee It makes some sense, as Concourse C doesn't have any lounges yet (A has the Sky Club and BA it seems, B has the United Clubs). Likely that's also where DEN had space available to them, at least prior to the concourse extensions being complete.

Either way, I'm looking forward to it! I don't fly through Denver often, and when I do, it's during the few times I fly on Southwest, so hopefully I get to try it out one day!

These hours make the lounge really annoying. Most of the times that I fly through Denver, it ends up being in the late afternoon or evening.
