JFK Centurion Lounge to Open in Coming Days

Today, American Express announced that it will open its 13th Centurion Lounge at John F. Kennedy Airport’s Terminal 4 in the coming days. With more than 15,000 square feet, the new JFK location is the largest Centurion Lounge yet and the first with two guest floors.

The Centurion Lounge at JFK will feature American Express’ first-ever “1850” speakeasy bar, a reference to the year the company was founded, complete with cocktails developed by Centurion Lounge mixologist Jim Meehan, as well as an Equinox Body Lab wellness experience, a bespoke menu created by Executive Chef Ignacio Mattos, new design elements inspired by New York’s cultural landmarks and much more.

“Our flagship Centurion Lounge at JFK is our fourth location to open in 2020 and reiterates our commitment to backing our Card Members whenever they may be ready to travel, while striving for a safe environment for all,” said Alexander Lee, Vice President of Travel Experiences and Benefits. “Like many of our customers we are proud to call New York City our home, and we are thrilled to have another lounge in our backyard.”

Additionally, the Centurion Lounges at CLT, SFO, IAH and DFW will reopen later this month.

JFK Centurion Lounge Features

The two-floor lounge will capture the energy of New York, with:

  • A curated menu by renowned Chef Ignacio Mattos, channeling the elegance and ethnic diversity of the city’s vibrant restaurant scene. Mattos is a proud New Yorker and a four-time James Beard Award nominee.
  • A first-ever speakeasy-style bar in a Centurion Lounge by mixologist Jim Meehan, called “1850”
  • Wellness offerings from Equinox Body Lab, normally only accessible within Equinox clubs. It will offer performance-driven restorative therapies including custom, self-guided meditation and stretching sessions using the Variis by Equinox app, a vibro-acoustic chair to help fliers relax before takeoff, and more.
  • Elevated New-York inspired design. The Centurion Lounge at JFK pays homage to New York City’s past and present, with unique touches throughout the space. Greeting guests as they approach the lounge is a handmade, custom mosaic art mural sourced from SICIS, the renowned mosaic art factory, developed with the Sicis North American Bronx-based team, as a nod to New York City subway murals.
  • Coffee by Irving Farm and local wines curated by Anthony Giglio
