Opened in January 2020, the American Express Centurion Lounge at Phoenix Sky Harbor International airport is the fruit of a collaboration between American Express and MAG USA, the company behind Escape Lounges.

The financial institution and lounge operator have partnered to craft a custom 9,500 square foot space in Terminal 4 which hosts both a Centurion Lounge and an Escape Lounge. The two clubs share a common reception area and back-of-the-house facilities. In addition, a portion of the space can be assigned to either lounge in order to minimize crowding at peak times.

The Centurion Lounge, which welcomes exclusively American Express Platinum and Centurion Card members and their guests, is a convivial and elegantly-appointed space with large windows overlooking the tarmac, a posh seating area, convenient work spaces, and a large dining zone.

The elaborate combination of warm tones, high-end furniture, gorgeous natural wood tables, custom flooring, and American Express memorabilia create a distinctive and elaborate vibe.

Amenities include power outlets, fast Wi-Fi, newspapers and magazines, a printer, shower suites, a full hot buffet with freshly prepared Mexican-inspired fare, and a complimentary full bar with co*cktails curated by mixologist Jim Meehan.

Due to space constraints, there is no family room, unlike at most other Centurion Lounge locations.
