We’ve just learned about the next location for the Amex Centurion Lounge network, and it sounds like this should be one of the nicer lounges in the network (thanks to Thrifty Traveler for flagging this).

20,000 square foot Centurion Lounge coming to Boston
Massport has today officially approved the development of an Amex Centurion Lounge in Terminal C at Boston Logan Airport (BOS). Construction on the lounge is supposed to begin in the coming months (in the spring of 2025), with a planned opening in 2027.
The airport will be responsible for building the shell of the lounge, while Amex will then build out the interior of the space. As you’d expect, Amex is on the hook for the entire cost of the project, since this expansion will be purely to facilitate this lounge.
For those not familiar, Centurion Lounges are some of the awesome lounges that those with The Platinum Card® from American Express (review) and The Business Platinum Card® from American Express (review) have access to. For many cardmembers, lounge access is a favorite perk.
This is one of three new Centurion Lounges in the United States that’s currently in the pipeline, with the other two being in Salt Lake City (SLC) with an expected 2025 opening, plus in Newark (EWR) with an expected 2026 opening.
This will be the second lounge at the airport run by a credit card issuer, as there’s also the popular Chase Sapphire Lounge Boston, which is excellent, and located in the connector between Terminal B and Terminal C.
In terms of terminal layout, note that Terminal B, Terminal C, and Terminal E, are all connected airside. Meanwhile Terminal A isn’t. Terminal A is used primarily by Delta, so this will be most useful for those flying on other airlines (though Delta international flights depart from Terminal E, so those passengers could use this lounge).
Details of the Amex Centurion Lounge Boston
The new Amex Centurion Lounge Boston Logan is expected to be roughly 20,000 square feet, making it one of the largest lounges in the Centurion Lounge network. The lounge will be two stories, and will be located in Terminal C of the airport, near gate C10.
The lounge will feature a grass and plant covered “green roof,” and a rooftop bar and patio (which seems like it would have a pretty limited season in the Northeast!). Exact details about what we can otherwise expect from the lounge are limited, though Amex is pretty consistent when it comes to the guest experience in terms of food, drinks, and amenities.
However, if the renderings are to be believed, then maybe Amex is working on an updated design concept, as it looks a bit different than your typical Centurion Lounges. I’m a fan of these changes!
Bottom line
An Amex Centurion Lounge is now planned for Boston Logan Airport. Construction should start soon, and the lounge is expected to open in 2027. The lounge will be two stories and quite large, so it should be one of the better lounges in the network. It’s always good to see more lounge capacity added, given travelers’ insatiable demand for lounge access.
What do you make of plans for the Amex Centurion Lounge Boston?
Benny go to a Centurion lounge (say MIA at 9 PM) and tell me if it's "awesome"
Slightly unrelated but does anyone know where the new QF First Lounge is going to be located at LHR T3? I’ve had a long walk up and down the main corridor where all the lounges are currently located but there is no sign of work taking place.
It's nice that Amex has another lounge starting in the pipeline but announcing it 2+ years beforehand is going to let a lot of the anticipation fade. Best to make the announcement 3-6 months before.
Maybe this is what Ben is getting at, but I would think the outdoor space at Logan would definitely have a short season given how exposed Logan is -- facing the harbor with no cover is a windy, chilly spot a lot of the year.
BOS is eating good with lounges lately. For credit card access a Chase Sapphire, Delta SkyClubs, and now a Centurion.
They're also gonna have the Mint lounge coming in soon.
It's pretty incredible how quickly things have turned around for BOS in the last decade, which was previously pretty underserved for a metro of its size.
"eating good"
Have you been to a centurion lounge lately
I don't even bother with centurion lounges anymore, not with the hassle IMO. Spending 20 minutes walking from the gate, 30+ minutes waiting for space, 20 minutes waiting for a glass of wine, fighting a cackle of hyenas for some mediocre free food and 20 minute walk back to my gate isn't a benefit. More like a squid game challenge
FYI you're one of the hyenas too. you're not special :)
It's always the ones standing in the very line that they complain about.
Like do these people not see the irony when they cry about "lounge crowding", when they're part of the crowd? What makes you so special that you deserve to be there, but not anyone else?
You need to improve your reading comprehension. I don't bother going to centurion lounges as it's not worth the trouble. I was in DFW and IAH three days ago and got a burger and a glass of wine at the bar near my gate. IMO centurion lounges are not worth wasting my time
What part of I don't go to centurion lounges don't you understand? This hyena is willing to pay to have his food and drinks served to him at an airport restaurant or bar
Felt like Boston was one of the next logical additions for this, so glad to see it happen. But I think Amex Centurion lounges have gone downhill with crowding and meh food and beverage, especially compared to the Chase lounges that have QR code menus and deliver food to the table.
I generally find the Centurion lounges have better food. Some of the Chase buffet food is good but the QR options are mostly disappointing. Odd that the made to order food at Chase is generally much lower quality than what they have in the buffet.
I wouldn't describe a Centurion Lounge as "awesome" these days, but they probably were back in 2016.
they need link Terminal A with the rest
There is a project working to do that which also involves moving Air Canada and Delta taking over those gates and potentially even more parts of terminal B. There are a number of carriers that have low gate utilization in terminals B and C. Delta wants to expand further so it makes sense to build the connector from A to B as the first step
This is long overdue. Having a new B6 and Centurion lounge in Terminal C within the next couple years will be great additions for BOS.
Wow, seems like they have a new design? This appears to be much more luxurious and modern than the existing scheme.
