Go Inside the Most Exclusive Airport Lounge in San Francisco

Located in Terminal 3 at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), the Centurion Lounge operated by American Express recently underwent a four-month remodel that doubled its floorspace to 16,000 square feet. The lounge opens its doors at 5 a.m., and the bar begins serving light drinks an hour later. The full cocktail list is available at 10:30 a.m.; the Gin Basil Fizz is one of the most popular drinks. Access to this lounge is only available to American Express cardmembers with a Centurion or Platinum-branded cards Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card and Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card members also get complimentary access to Centurion Lounges located in the U.S., Hong Kong and London when flying on a Delta-marketed or -operated flight purchased with any U.S.-issued American Express card. The Centurion lounge does not sell access to the lounge even if you hold another American Express card.

    If you can get in by having an Amex Platinum, the lounge is not exclusive. The Polaris Lounge is more exclusive because it lets in less people.

    I would say the Polaris Lounge is more exclusive. You need a long haul international business/first ticket to get in, but Centurion lounge only requires the Platinum Card.

    Good video. I'm gonna go with the other commenters. I would argue the United Polaris lounge is more exclusive since it's business or better only. Or technically Emirates since that's exclusive to all other airlines and alliances.

    You really don’t understand the product at all. The BLACK Card (Centurion) gets you access to a lot more than that one little waiting area. That is just the staging area. There is a whole private area for Centurion members. You never saw it. Also how can it be the most exclusive club and yet have capacity controls at time……

    I was here last weekend; Polaris was still closed (I arrived from a transpacific flight, so I decided to try the Centurion while waiting for my connecting flight). The food was horrible, and the avocado toast was disgusting. Drinks and coffee are okay; they serve powder-based scrambled eggs. I was shocked! 😂

    I can say that I have...walked past it before.😁 No one takes Amex cards. OK the Western Hotel brands do, and maybe fancy restaurants. Lounges are just calories I don't need and one of the main reasons I keep coming back from trips heavier than when I left!🐷

    @@YellowProductions It's so crazy to me given USA leads the world in so many other spaces and decent lounges can bring in business travellers too. Although I think I read somewhere that a lot of more affluent people in the US fly private instead so that could also partially explain it.

    That "exclusive" section for Centurion card members doesn't look exclusive to me. It looks like the rest of the lounge, but with nobody sitting in it. Even if I had one of those $10K + $5K cards, I don't even think I would sit there. Everyone else in the lounge would know you're some ultra-rich dude (or someone who just wastes their money on such cards) just by walking by and seeing who's in that part. Anyway, my no fee American Express Cards offers no lounge access. That's OK. Eating at the Burger Joint is OK with me.

    Not exclusive enough. Overcrowded, loud, and messy (too many people for the staff to keep up with). It's not relaxing or fun at all. It's quieter and more relaxing out in the concourse.
