American Express this week said it is reopening the new Centurion Lounge at LaGuardia Airport (LGA), doubling its size while offering locally inspired amenities that bring New York City’s rich culture to life.
The 10,000 square-foot Centurion Lounge at LGA’s Terminal B features custom design elements from New York City-based designers such as bespoke lighting by Brooklyn-based Roll & Hill, arched shapes in the dining area referencing downtown architecture and local bridges and phone rooms with vibrant artistic murals and floor to ceiling windows.
“We’ve collaborated closely with local partners and small businesses to create a space that embodies some of New York City’s most unique experiences,” said Pablo Rivero, vice president, American Express loyalty travel experiences and benefits. “With the reopening and expansion of our Centurion Lounge at LaGuardia Airport, we are looking forward to having this lounge join the rest of our Centurion Network and provide eligible Card Members even more places to relax and unwind during their travels.”
Cédric Vongerichten continues as the LGA Centurion Lounge executive chef offering favorites such as Crispy French Toast with market strawberry jam and Fried Chicken with honey lemongrass glaze, and new dishes, including Soup Jamur, an aromatic mushroom soup, with shiitake and oyster mushrooms, makrut lime and Thai basil.
“We’re thrilled to welcome The Centurion Lounge by American Express to LaGuardia Terminal B as another example of the truly exceptional experience travelers can expect at the new terminal,” said Stewart Steeves, CEO of LaGuardia Gateway Partners (LGP), manager and developer of Terminal B. “We’re so pleased that Terminal B travelers will have access to this new state-of-the-art lounge where they can rest before their flights and refuel with thoughtfully-sourced cuisine and locally inspired refreshments.”
