Why banks build lounges#
Premium credit cards compete on airport lounge access. Instead of relying only on networks like Priority Pass, the big issuers now run lounges of their own.
Since the start of 2025, our directory records 10 such openings with photos: four from Chase, three from Capital One and three tied to American Express.
Chase and Capital One lead#
Chase opened Sapphire Lounges in Phoenix, Philadelphia, Las Vegas and Dallas Fort Worth. The Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club is the best rated at 4.8.
Capital One opened in New York twice, with the Capital One Lounge and the Capital One Landing, and added a lounge in Las Vegas.
American Express spreads out#
Amex opened Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge in Las Vegas and a Centurion Lounge in Amsterdam. In Cincinnati, Escape runs a Centurion Studio partner lounge. For which cards open which lounges, see lounge access by card.
My take#
I welcome the competition, but I wouldn't choose a premium card because its newest lounge photographs well. I'd work backward from my usual departure airports, then compare the guest rules and the cost of keeping the card.
Putting this into practice#
The names I'd check against the actual boarding pass include Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club, Capital One Lounge. I would start with the terminal and the time available after security. That turns a directory into a realistic shortlist. A lounge can be excellent and still be a poor choice for this departure if reaching it uses most of the waiting time. The location notes above should do as much work as the overall score.
The access check comes next. I'd identify the exact card, membership, status or ticket being used and read the conditions for that route into the lounge. A lounge appearing on a card's map is a starting point for that check. It is not a reason to assume every fare, guest or departure will qualify in the same way.
I would decide what I want from the stop before comparing amenities. For a meal, the food available during the actual visit matters. For work, I'd look for a suitable seat and power. For a short connection, simply finding a comfortable place near the gate may be the better result. There is little value in an amenity I cannot use.
The trade-offs I would check#
Traveling with someone else changes the calculation. I'd check the party's eligibility together, including any guest charge, rather than discover at reception that only one person is covered. A paid visit needs to make sense for the whole group and the time left. I would compare that total with a meal or a quieter seat elsewhere in the terminal.
I would also choose a fallback before walking over. If the preferred room cannot admit the party, the next choice should still fit the departure area and boarding time. That might be another eligible lounge, or it might be the terminal. Keeping that alternative simple makes it easier to walk away from a queue that no longer makes sense.
