    I'm not a lounge expert. But most of them have not been that great. I got the AMEX Platinum card to get perks like this lounge, as well as others that help with travel. This is an airport i have a layover at until my final destination. I couldn't use the lounge in LA because it was in the wrong terminal. Here, it's on the other side of the airport. When I arrived, I had to scan a code to get in the waitlist. Then I couldn't do that because my flight left in 4 hours, even though it was less than 3 hours from boarding. I get that they're trying to limit access. But that was a drag. Even one minute before 3 hours before departure I couldn't get on the list. I finally did and it was about 10 minutes. Then you have to go up to another line. The getting in part was less than stellar. The place is big and pretty nice. There's a bar and a buffet. the buffet food didn't look great. But i had a salad and sone chicken. It was free. They have plenty of people cleaning up, clearing dishes, and restocking the buffet. They were all pleasant. It's very busy. But Denver is a hub airport. It's a pretty good place.

    Decent spot to stop when traveling but I'm not excited about it given a few consistent drawbacks. There's now always a wait which takes away from the experience too. The location isn't ideal in terminal C vs main terminal, the bar lines are consistently long and are slow to move. The food selection is hit or miss, sometimes its great other times its pretty meh. Nice views overlooking the terminal and outside.

    Worst experience here yet. Long waitlist. Long wait to check-in after clearing waitlist. Check-in very inefficient. Long line in the men's restroom; only three stalls and one of these was out of order.

    Secret lox buffet by the second bar in the front... [away from the Omelet station...]

    I've been going to Centurion Lounges since before this one opened in DIA in 2017 [e.g., Las Vegas since 2013, SFO since 2014] To quote Yogi Berra - "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded..." - his way (& my way) of saying that the Centurion Lounges are a bit of a victim of their own success. Sometimes they can be an airport oasis, a respite from the hectic energy of the Concourse. Other times, the omelet line is filled with extended families on their way to Cabo for Spring Break. You know what I mean: TCLs are hardly a hidden haven anymore so, depending on the day, it can be pretty good or kinda disappointing. The Amex adverts don't mention you might hafta wait 30 to 45 minutes to get into a Lounge that is a 'perk' of your 'membership.' The solution for this is for Amex to _massively_ expand their lounge footprint, either through making them larger or having multiple lounges per major airport, like United does with their Red Carpet Clubs. DEN is #4 in the US, behind ATL, DFW, ORD and ahead of LAX, JFK, MCO... you get my drift: the Top 5 busiest airports in the US should (at least) double up on their Centurion Lounge footprints. Time to get crackin' guys

    Is it still crowded, yes! Do they try to minimize the amount of people there, to some degree yes. The food is pretty good, definitely more robust options than the "snacks" offered at most lounges. They also have two bars and plenty of coffee! They try to keep it pretty clean with lots of staff. Overall plenty of seating for eating and relaxing.

    Buffet line with hot food: Made-to-order hot station, healthy options
    Marc D.

    Worth the visit if you have a layover in DEN and an Amex card that gets you in. Big space with plenty of seating variety, bar height, dining tables, couches, and lounge chairs, so you can find something whether you want to work or just zone out before your flight. Two buffet setups, including a made-to-order station, and the options skew healthy without being boring. Coffee stations, sparkling water, and yes, a Coke Zero dispenser, which sounds small but matters when every other lounge only has regular Coke. Bartenders take their time and actually talk to you instead of slinging drinks like they're punching a clock. Showers are a real perk if you're coming off a redeye, but get on the list early or grab a staff member when you walk in. The toiletries are high-end and smell great. Buffet servers and front desk staff were friendly every interaction. One real gripe: not enough power outlets. Plenty of tables have zero chargers nearby, and when the lounge fills up you end up hunting for a spot. Bring a portable battery if you're depending on a charge before boarding. Go for the food and showers, stay for the bartender pace.

    Cook to order grill
    David R.

    I'm a fan of the Centurion club. If you can get in, sometimes the waitlist can be over 30 minutes. It is an oasis in an airport. Some of the things I like about this location over others, it has two bars. So the capacity is much greater than the Houston Centurion. They also have a cook to order grill, that delivers freshly cooked specials each day. Today it was a customizable Mac and cheese. The regular trough food is pretty good as well. Did I tell you drinks and food are included? If you fly more than twice a month, and there is a Centurion club in the connecting hub the Amex Platinum card will pay for itself. Everyone here seems to act like they are the reason this club is here. Is that entitlement? With connection flights, the crowd is constantly turning over. There is much seating with bar, high table, low table, and a 'kids' area to keep the noise down. It took me 33 minutes to get in on the waiting list today. The clubs secret seems to have leaked out. Highly recommend!

    They keep the area pretty clean. It was very full when we went. Wide selection of food with decent taste. Pretty easy to find on our way to our gate. Nice staff and fellow travelers in the lounge is a bonus. Bathroom are definitely a lot nicer to use than the ones in the regular airport part

    Airport lounges are heaven sent for me. I travel for work and to be able to sit at a lounge with fast Wi-Fi and delicious food and drinks makes business traveling somewhat better. I hate waking up super early and rushing to get to the airport. But once I check into a lounge, I can finally breath and relax. Love all the Centurion Lounges, they have everything I need.

    If you're here in the mornings and considering the omelette station, make sure you're allocating about 20 mins for the wait as omelette take time to cook. Hint: there's typically bagels and lox by the second bar area without a long queue if you're in a rush.

    Everyone waiting for the "privilege."

    Long waitlist. At $850 a year I can sit at the snack bar at the bottom of the of the escalator for free. Why do I need "Membership"?

    Absolutely NO complaints about this lounge! The line was a bit long coming in, however it moved fairly quickly and check in was a breeze! There was ample seating for your layover needs! Whether you want to nap, eat, socialize, or work, there's something to accommodate that. Everything was super clean and the servers were ON IT when it came to clearing tables for guests. The food was absolutely scrumptious! I had a combination of pasta, potatoes, tomato bisque, baked chicken and spinach, and for dessert I had a mini tart and a slice of cheesecake. I paired my meal with some chia tea which was YUMMY! I truly can't complain about any facet of the food! Bathrooms were in tip top shape, and I didn't find the place to be too crowded. It did exactly what I needed for my layover! 5/5

    Always a great place - especially when your flights are delayed because some moron stole a plane in Vancouver and circled the airport causing your outbound - and connections - to be delayed !! Enjoyed French 75s and amazing food - their BBQ Tofu was excellent and kids enjoyed the made to order Mac n cheese bar! Thank you Centurion lounge for saving us during flight delays

I went in with minimal expectations and was wowed through my entire trip delay time. From my first interaction at the desk to leaving and being reminded to stock up on to-go goods, and being given chocolate. A dream come true. The lounge is quiet besides the moody music in the background. It was as though people understood the relaxation memo and put everything on hush mode. There's a hot tea bar, fresh hot Chai on tap, hot coffee, a custom soda machine with a cherry tarragon blend, and yes, for our visit an Asian fusion meal served. My hit? Given the current situation of things I had such a hankering for a good Caesar salad and they had it in a bowl ready for me (but also to munch on the go!). They had garlic noodles, a surami poke bowl, wontons, and ribs. It was a dream. He had a take on an old fashioned, I had a St. Germaine drink made for the lounge. Yes to both. While reading in a cozy seat he signed me up for their version of a nap pod. The gal from the front desk got me at my time, showed me how the pod worked, and told me how to lock the door so I'd nap uninterrupted until my time was up. Again. If you have the time, and the opportunity, put in a reservation for the zero g pod because wow. The bathrooms are individual rooms with a door. They have full showers in a separate area. They have meeting rooms. They have rooms which I'm guessing are sound dampened to have a conversation without disturbing others outside which is ideal for phone calls. All around, this lounge is a hit. Customer service was spot on, we never had any dishes sitting around or were left needing anything. Jesus was superb. If you need the comfiest seating, it's the ones directly in front of the glass. Enjoy!

Definitely get in line around the time you're at security, or when you drop bags off if you have pre-check. The food is still generally pretty good, with more Asian options when I visited this time.

There was an assistant to help, but then when computer welcomed me in, he told me I was good to enter. The lounge was quite spacious, but due to my injury, I just stayed in the bar area. I took an old fashioned for my drink, and it was strong enough to cure the injury blues. I mostly spoke with the other guests and watched the world cup soccer match. I also grab some Thai chicken curry soup, which was so good as it had a good amount of spice to it. Unfortunately, my right arm was hurting a lot, so I didn't eat much other then the soup.
