“The new Centurion Lounge at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta
International Airport will serve travelers in one of the airports
our Card Members visit most,” said Audrey Hendley, President of
American Express Travel. “It features amenities we know travelers
enjoy, like outdoor terraces, and plenty of space to relax, along
with local touches infused throughout the menus and design, that
guests will remember long after their trip.”
Art and Design Inspired by “The City in the Forest” The
design is inspired by Atlanta’s reputation as “the city in the
forest” and its abundance of trees as well as our Card Members’
passion for wellness. The main seating area features a 50-year-old
olive tree and a 3,850 square foot custom light sculpture that
represents a forest canopy, creating a relaxing space for Card
Members to unwind before their flights. Additionally, visitors can
enjoy multiple outdoor terraces, a first for the Centurion Lounge
network. These meticulously landscaped seating areas are equipped
with heaters and fans for use year-round.
The lounge showcases commissioned artwork from local artists
including a new, textural interpretation of the quintessential
American Express watch dog by Lucha Rodríguez and a large-scale
multimedia piece by Michi Meko that draws inspiration from
Georgia’s landscape. Additionally, a 60-foot mural of abstracted
leaf-like shapes, painted by Evan Blackwell Helgeson, stretches
from the interior dining area to the exterior terrace.
Modern, Global Soul Food Curated by Atlanta’s Own Chef
Deborah VanTrece Chef Deborah VanTrece, owner of local Atlanta
restaurants Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours, Oreatha’s At The
Point and La Panarda, all of which can be booked on Resy, will
bring her take on modern, global soul food to the lounge. Using
flavors and techniques she discovered traveling the world as a
former flight attendant and enhanced by her own family food
traditions and fresh, local ingredients, the custom menu includes
Black Eyed Pea Biryani, Za'atar Grilled Chicken Thighs with Green
Tomato Chimichurri, and Twisted Soul Salad with Strawberry
Peppercorn Vinaigrette. Additionally, there will be a dedicated
food and beverage station with gluten free and vegan options,
including protein bites, salads, smoothies, and immunity booster
juice shots.
“Atlanta has become such an interesting melting pot of cultures
and cuisines. I’m thrilled to partner with American Express to
bring food that celebrates these traditions, along with the best
southern ingredients, to the Centurion Lounge at Hartsfield-Jackson
Atlanta International Airport,” said Chef Deborah VanTrece. “Travel
has inspired my approach as a chef and I feel blessed that, through
this collaboration, I’ll be able to share my creative vision for
food and hospitality with travelers from around the world.”
The Centurion Network’s First Whiskey Bar1 Celebrating
the rich history of American whiskey, The Reserve by American
Express is the first dedicated whiskey bar in a Centurion Lounge.
The cocktail menu, curated by award-winning mixologist Jim Meehan,
features five specialty whiskey cocktails, including Drink a Peach
with peach flavored whiskey and bitters and Mayme, Tailored,
highlighting an American whiskey with ginger beer. Guests can also
choose from over 20 classic and new American whiskeys. The bar
offers a modern take on a classic whiskey bar with dark finishes
and caramel leather seating and connects to an outdoor lounge area.
The lounge also features a fully stocked main bar with 10 wines
hand-selected by sommelier and Centurion Lounge Wine Director
Anthony Giglio, a local cocktail menu including spirit free
options, and Centurion Lounge signature drinks.
