The Centurion Lounge

Service is good and I really like the super comfy sofa. However, the food looked messy but it tasted good. Great view while relaxing with my wine and light brunch.

More than impressed by their breakfast spread! French toast Crème brûlée hmmmm is still calling my name. What a struggle to have to force myself out early to go through security every time! Who wants to fly from jfk or Newark when I can enjoy everything Centurion has to offer here in laguardia! I look forward to my next travel just so I can try out their lunch/​dinner menu!

American Express outdid themselves with this contemporary, cozy, NY Soho feel club. Flash your Amex and enjoy. Centurion and platinum members get in free, plus you get free premium drinks. If you’re gold, you have to pay $ 50, but it’s well worth it. You get hot meals plus open bar. The service is incredible from start to finish and the staff is professional always taking away the nightmarish burden of air travel.

This is by far the best domestic lounge I’ve been in, and the food is the best I’ve had in a lounge, and better then the LV Centurion Lounge.
However, I’m taking off a star because of how early it closes: 8 PM all days except Saturday, when it shutters at 6:30 PM. I’d like to see these hours expanded.

Best airport lounge we have been to. Only problem it’s before airport security as are all the other clubs at Laguardia airport. They serve three full meals a day and open at 5:30 AM. Food is closer to actual restaurant quality and not at all institutional. There are plenty of snacks and lots of fresh fruit.
We have also been to the lounge in Las Vegas and it’s just as nice. The Vegas lounge is after you pass through security. They also have a full free bar. It was a little early for booze today, but I did hear champagne corks popping. This is a nice way to start our trip.

Always 5 stars for AMEX Centurion lounges. The food/​drink selection is well above average, everything is complimentary, and the facilities are luxurious.
I love that you can take 2 guests in per cardholder so you always have the opportunity to make someone’s day and bring them to the lounge if you so choose.
The view is perfect for watching planes land and take off. AMEX lounges make traveling at an airport completely relaxing. The only flaw is that it’s pre security and you have the knowledge of having to pass thru LGA security lines — sadness.

Omg what an amazing upgrade from those crapy admiral clubs! U go American Express! Came here for breakfast before my flight and wow! What a nice surprise!
I’ve been to a centurion lounge in Rio (gig) before and it’s hard to tell which one is better now!
This place is super clean, outstanding costumer service, super comfortable chairs and couches (you can easily put (and rest) your feet up without having to do complicated yoga poses!).
The drinks are free (full bar). The tea selection is very gourmet (ginger, chai, mint…). The food is super fresh! Blueberries, pineapple, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, apples, etc. Poached egg on a toast with chimichurri sauce, waffles and hot maple syrup and 3 different kinds of cereal.
My fav was the French toast! I don’t even like french toast that much but I had like 2 of them! Sooooo yummy!
Off course they have free wifi and it’s fast too!
I’m thinking next time I’ll arrive even earlier to the airport just to hang out at this 5 star lounge!
Brah-​Vo!

The lounge is confortable and spotlessly clean. It is staffed with competent professionals, including the bartenders, front desk and food attendents. The décor is modern. All furniture, fixtures and features were clean and in great condition. A nice selection of individual breakfast items, including hot selections was promptly restocked. The self serve coffee service included excellent brewed coffee and a machine that dispensed potent espresso shots or other choices. Real silverware, plates and cloth napkins were provided. Bloody Mary’s were tasty.
We had a significant layover. Relaxing in this lounge made the time go quickly. We left for our next flight refreshed and with electronics fully charged. The only opportunity for improvement was a thin selection of magazines and newspapers. They are complimentary and went fast. Don’t hesitate if you see something you like.
Access is limited to certain American Express card holders and their guests. This is not an airline operated lounge, so boarding passes and flight changes are not handled by the front desk.

Small but very nice and clean. Enjoyed a light lunch before my flight. Loved the beets salad.

I love the Centurion Lounges, and the one at LGA is one of the main reasons I always try to fly in and out of that airport. Located between the B and C terminals outside security, you have to take the elevator to level 3 to find it.
I like that its outside the terminal so that you can access it regardless of your flight without having to enter and re-​enter security like I usually have to do at SFO. And a bonus for having it outside security is that you can access the lounge upon arrival, which I do to just freshen up and have a snack and drink before I head home since I wouldn’t have any groceries yet.
My first impression was great, especially coming from the mostly dated airport interior or what VP Joe Biden describes as feeling like it’s «in some third world country.» You see the same modern design elements consistent in all the Centurion Lounges — the living wall of green leaves, lime green couches, and a lot of bright whites.
It’s smaller than most of the Centurion Lounges I’ve been to (no shower suite, and men’s bathroom has only two stalls and no urinals) but it makes up for it in its amazing food offerings. Also, walking down the narrow pathway to the dining and bar area gives the illusion of a more expansive space. The lounge overall can get quite busy in the afternoon but I haven’t had any problems finding a seat. The bar stools could be more comfortable and is somewhat awkward to sit in, especially with your luggage.
The food here is really posh. I love the breakfast here so if you can, definitely take advantage of it. The Crispy French Toast with Caramelized Apples is amazing. It’s superbly crispy on the outside, while being ridiculously soft on the inside, resembling a custard. I’ve also had this poached egg with parmesan and some greens that was good as well. For lunch, it skewed a bit Asian but done quite well. The ginger rice tasted like rice mixed with gerng yung (Cantonese green onion, garlic, ginger condiment usually used for chicken) so that was delicious. I’ve also had the Fried Chicken glazed in honey and lemongrass paired with sweet chili sauce that was good as well. And the last time I went, there was roasted Japanese eggplant and roasted corn that I had multiple servings of.

Highly recommend this lounge if you are Amex platinum. A better alternative to Delta Sky Club: better food, décor, and service
Plan your time wisely since this lounge is located before the security check.

I’m a huge fan of the Centurion Lounge network: they provide a classy, comfortable and delicious way to wait before your flight. While some of the centurion lounges provide unique amenities (IE SFO’s wine bar, DFW’s spa) LGA sadly does not. However, the food more than makes up for it. Having visited early morning, the breakfast spread was quite extensive. Poached eggs on toast with chipotle hollandaise, egg frittata, crispy french toast, pancakes, fruit salad, sliced fruit, croissant, coffee and machine barista make for a VERY hearty meal. A good thing too, considering whats served on board flights these days.
I’ll definitely stop by again if I’m ever in LGA.

This is the newest lounge to open at LaGuardia Airport and is accessible only to AMEX card holders (Platinum and Centurion card holders have complimentary access, while all other Amex card holders pay a $ 50.00 fee). As a Platinum member, I got the complimentary access. I normally fly Delta to LaGuardia as I get access to their Sky Lounges located in Terminals C and D. For this occasion, I specifically chose a return flight on JetBlue so i can get into the lounge.
As my flight did not depart until 9:30 pm (but of course as is always the case in LaGuardia, the flight was delayed over an hour) I decided to arrive to the airport early in the afternoon to relax and enjoy the food and drinks until 8:00 pm which was closing time. The lounge is located on the third floor of the Central Terminal Building, (pre-​security) which is the where all airlines not named Delta are located. The third floor is also where the airport administration offices are as well as the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge are located.
Upon being guided towards the correct elevator bank, I proceeded up to the third floor where the lounge is located to begin my journey into the Centurion world. Upon entering to the reception area, I was greeted by two friendly ladies who swiped my card and my boarding pass. One of the ladies proceeded to give me a short walking tour of the lounge, explaining to me the different sections of the lounges, and reminding me that all food and beverages are complimentary) and then handing me a card which had the username and password to access the WiFi.
Behind the reception area is the office lounge, which has tables, a library and computers as well as phone chargers. Walking down the hallway to the left of the reception desk is a bank of sofas and ottomans with tables and three TVs lined up against the wall. At the end of the hallway is the main lounge area, which contains the bar and food area. As the lounge is located in the middle of the terminal, you have unobstructed views of airport operations.
The food was well presented in a buffet setting, with fried boneless chicken breasts with sriracha chili sauce, ramen noodles, basmati rice, caesar and cobb salad, as well as desserts. It was all filling and very delicious.
I ordered a Manhattan Beach (rye whiskey, beach plum, gin liqueur and grapefruit juice), which was recommended by the bartender. The drink was very delicious with a perfect mix of sour With my food and drink in hand, i sat by the tables and looked out the window and relaxed watching the airport operations.
After watching planes for around 3 hours and downing several more Manhattan Beaches (3 or 4 to be exact) and going back for seconds and thirds of food (especially the boneless chicken), I noticed that in the hallway where the TVs were, they were showing the Women’s World Cup so I ordered a Chardonnay and sat down there to watch the game and sip on my wine.
While relaxing, the same lady who had given me the earlier tour, stopped by my sofa and inquired as to my name. I gave her my name and she handed me my boarding pass. At that moment, I realized that I had earlier dropped my boarding pass and had not noticed it. That’s the kind of service that I appreciate very much.
All in all, it was a very wonderful experience and better than any of the other airport lounges I have been to and will make it part of my routine when I’m in New York.

A game changer in La Guardia, this is the very best airport lounge – optimized for media /​digital types, with super food, great wine, and multiple options to relax, work, or just hang. Probably the best justification for that premium credit card fee, too.
Will try to make this a regular spot each time I’m at La Guardia – even better than the Admiral’s Club.

A great way to take the sting out of a delay, the lounge is a decent size, however I can see if there is a ground stop at LGA it would be annoyingly crowded. Seating at tables for dining is somewhat limited and a few people seemed to camp-​out at tables instead of eating and moving on to the other seating areas. You’ll find counter like seating along the window with plenty of outlets to charge your electronics. There is also some leather bench type seating to spread out and relax on.
Food choices were limited but done very well, and if you don’t like any of the hot items you can make a salad. They have an espresso/​latte machine, as well as several teas and a full bar. Beverage wise you can ask for no more, they do have a last call at 7:30.
My only gripe is the closing time of 8:00 p.m., I was lucky my flight was delayed to shortly after that time, but I was talking with one guy that was stuck until after 10 p.m., my best advice is if you’re stuck at LGA on a delay, make sure you get a meal in because, things do close up after 10, other than one of the general stores which I swear increases their prices soon as the other places turn out their lights. (I know this isn’t the case but it seems like it).
Every staff member was friendly and helpful, they really kept up on removing used dishware and wiping down tables, the front desk staff also couldn’t be better.

Amazing service! Had a hard Apple cider and 2 shots of Don Julio plus hit the Buffett for some chicken and salad + cookies and brownies.
The beet salad is of the chain!

Truly an oasis at LaGuardia. A bit weird to get there: elevator between terminals B and C. It’s on the third floor (all pre security) and the hallway leading to it is sparse. But then the friendly sign and Centurion picture beckons.
The front desk staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I felt very welcomed and the insides are bright and modern. The look is similar to Las Vegas’ but with a better layout. Quiet area behind the front desk; a long string of tables walking to the food and bar area.
The food is good. Salmon, salads, potatoes, rice and peas were up along with desserts and a few other appetizers.
Bar staff was friendly and there was plenty of seating. Good number of outlets and usb chargers along the window wall.
Bathroom (men’s) is smallish but very clean. Always appreciated. Especially at a place like LaGuardia.
Enjoy!

Airport Lounge Crawl #1
This is the first Centurion Lounge I have been to. But it is the BEST lounge I have been to and the best lounge in LGA.
The staff here is friendly and really polite. I was welcomed warmly when I checked in.
Love the deco! So bright and young and full of energy! The different seating option all looks so comfy! Love the big windows over look the runways!
Sadly, I was here during breakfast time and could not try out some of the cocktails. I guess I need to book a late flight out of LGA next time.
Hot food available and everything looked fresh and well prepared! There are people cleaning and checking at the self served food area.
Out of the 3 Airport Lounges I visited at LGA, this is the BEST!
The only reason it is not getting a 5 star is it is located pre Security! But this is out of Centurion Lounge control as all of the lounges in LGA all located in Pre Security. This is just annoying! And closing at 6:30 pm on Saturday?! What if I have a late flight?

For lounges in US airports, this is as good as it gets.
It really puts the United club to shame. Fancy cocktails, nice hot food? I don’t see why anyone would willing pay $ 50 for a day pass to the UC.
Everything is pretty classy and the bartenders and servers are all nice and welcoming. If you travel a lot through LGA, a lounge like this would entice me to get the amex platinum for the perks.

Step into The Centurion Lounge at New York’s LaGuardia airport, and you’ll step out of the hum and hubbub of the everyday that is the craziness of NYC’s crazy busy and sometimes most chaotic airport. With your handy American Express Platinum or Centurion card, it’s free to enter with a same-​day boarding pass. Otherwise, show your trusty American Express any other card and it will set you back just $ 50. $ 50 you say?!? That much!!! Well I say «just» $ 50 because your drinks with premium liquors as well as meals prepared by well known chefs are *included* in your entry price.
It’s truly a beautiful facility, and located before security. So if you are flying out of anywhere in the Central terminal (American, Southwest, JetBlue, United — I’m probably missing a few others…), go to ticketing downstairs first, and get your bags checked and do everything else you need to do other than going thru security to the aircraft before coming up to the lounge. Then you’ll have plenty of time to relax and sip on a few craft cocktails before your flight. Just be sure you leave enough time to get to your flight.
The facility is brand new, and has spectacular customer service who will bend over backward to make you feel at home (tips are appreciated for the food/​beverage staff). With greenery and wood accents in an otherwise modern lounge, it is an oasis away from LGAs main concourse.
If you can’t find it, go towards the food court between concourses B and C in the Central Terminal. Look for the elevators opposite the escalators and go up to the 3^rd floor. You won’t be able to miss it. Oh, and it has free wi-​fi, too — you’ll receive the password upon entry.
