In early 2025, we unofficially learned about an upcoming location for the Amex Centurion Lounge network, based on public documents with the airport. The card issuer has now officially announced this location, so we also have a few more details. The bad news is that a lot of patience will be required before this opens, unfortunately.

20,000 square foot Centurion Lounge coming to Boston
An Amex Centurion Lounge is being developed in Terminal C at Boston Logan Airport (BOS). In early 2025, the plan was for this lounge to open in 2027, though unfortunately that timeline has now slipped by two years. That means best case scenario, we’re looking at a 2029 opening.
The airport is 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 American Express Platinum Card® (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 two new Centurion Lounges in the United States that’s currently in the pipeline, with the other one being at Newark (EWR), with an expected opening this year. That doesn’t include the Sidecar by Centurion Lounge concept, which is also planned for Charlotte (CLT).
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 it 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 planned for Boston Logan Airport, though unfortunately the timeline has slipped. While this lounge was initially supposed to open in 2027, it’s now expected to open in 2029, at the earliest. 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?
2029. LMAO. Let’s see if they finish EWR in 2026. But Chase needs to get there PP act together. We want DFW, ORD, HOU, SFO, DEN, MIA, LAX should all have lounges. Focus on domestic!
Opening planned for 2029 is a joke.
I’d qualify as a lawyer in 2028, even before this lounge opens!
That’s still 2 years away.
I am surprised that you haven’t commented on Amex Plat change from 7/1/26. They are doing away with the Saks credit.
Massport is adding a post security connector from Terminal A to Terminal B, slated to open in late 2028/early 2029. So access from Terminal A should be possible by the time this lounge opens.
I think a few people here are questioning the location of this lounge, but not everyone seems to be aware that Terminal's B, C and E are all connected airside. The Chase lounge is actually between B and C terminal gates and definitely worth a long(ish?) 10-15 minute walk from any gate in either terminal B or C (I've made this walk in said time with kid in tow btw). This seems like a similar location and perhaps even more compelling in terms of features...
Terminal E to/from the Chase Lounge a bit of hike, but doable. We made the effort recently before a Level flight. 15 minutes +\-.
They'd betta have some freakin' clam chowdah! And some Dunkin' ya Mass holes!
This seems to be consistent with SLC design language which has already debuted... Ben are you saying you think they're changing up the Centurion design yet again? Or you just forgot about the new design already out?
Also, surprised at the location. Seems like most domestic flights are out of Terminal B (at least that's been my experience) so the Chase Sapphire Lounge has always been a bit of a hike for distance, especially if...

Seems like most domestic flights are out of Terminal B (at least that's been my experience) so the Chase Sapphire Lounge has always been a bit of a hike for distance, especially if you're with AA and flying out of the lower numbered B gates. A quick perusal of Terminal C occupants show international airlines which should all have their own lounges already.
Terminal E is the primary international terminal at BOS — and where most international airline lounges are — not Terminal C. Aer Lingus and Etihad operate from C since they're precleared, but otherwise it's mostly JetBlue flying.
The location is hardly surprising, plus Amex will take what they can get where they can get it given how space is at a premium.
Not that it matters, but fun fact, TAP also usually flies out of C.
There is now way that AA, the primary airline in Terminal B, would be happy to see a Centurion Lounge in terminal B to complete with the Admiral's Club. Not to mention the lack of space in B for any Amex lounge that would be suitable to hold the crown size. Similar to DFW, the Centurion Lounge there is great, but it's very inconvenient location wise, and not near any of the AA lounges.
No way is Terminal B the busiest terminal at Logan. Delta in A or JetBlue in C have significant more presence there than American. I’m at BOS maybe 20-30 times a year, and A and C are by far the busiest.
