Review: Centurion Lounge At Houston Intercontinental Airport
The US is not known for it’s good airport lounges, but the Centurion Lounges are an exception. They offer free alcohol and very edible food. Being Houston-based, I’m glad the Centurion Lounge has finally opened. Here is my review.
Where is the IAH Centurion Lounge?
The IAH Centurion website says that the lounge is near gate D6, in Terminal D, but that’s somewhat confusing. While that is technically correct, it is between D6 two gates are pretty far apart. To get to the lounge you have to use the elevators next to Duty Free Shop. If you are at a different Terminal, it is pretty easy to reach using the Skytrain without having to go through security again.
When is the IAH Centurion Lounge open?
The IAH Centurion Lounge opens 5:30am and closes already at 9pm.
Who can access the Centurion Lounges?
Any American Express card holder can access the lounge for $50 per person. Access is complimentary for Platinum, Centurion Card (also know as the black card) holders. The American Express Platinum card is probably the way most will access the lounge. You can guest in 2 additional guests. Details can be found here.
What does the IAH Centurion Lounge offer?
- free drinks (Centurion Card members also get Veuve Cliquot and Aberlour)
- free food
- breakfast until 11am
- lunch & dinner until 9pm
- 1 shower room
- restrooms
- 1 office room
- 1 kids room

The lounge doesn’t have a spa or bowling alley.
Review of the IAH Centurion Lounge
It is fantastic that Houston finally has an airport lounge that is worth visiting. I will now be arriving earlier at the airport. The food and drink selection is perfectly adequate and more than replaces a visit to an airport restaurant or bar.
Probably the best feature is that the lounge is located at Terminal D – the terminal with all the cool international airlines like Singapore, Lufthansa, Korean, and Emirates. This way, it should keep United and domestic passenger riffraff traffic to a minimum. With that said, the lounge is still really easily accessible from all IAH terminals without having to go through security again.
The food was very yummy with plenty of healthy options. The drink selection as can be expected from a Centurion lounge. The shower could have been bigger, but it is perfectly functional. I wasn’t expecting a Lufthansa First Class Lounge bathroom.
Below are my photos from the lounge. I’m very excited about this lounge addition to Houston Intercontinental Airport.
