Pro Tips

The ceviche station is the crown jewel of this lounge. It uses fresh local catch and changes daily. Get a plate before the lunch rush empties the bowl.
Arrive before 8:00 AM for a peaceful morning experience. The lounge transforms into a packed scene by late morning.
The craft cocktails are designed by Miami-based mixologists. Ask your bartender for the seasonal specialty, which is not always listed on the printed menu.
If the main lounge is at capacity, ask about the overflow section. It has the same food and drinks but fewer people know about it.
The workspace section behind the main seating has better lighting and less ambient noise. Bring your laptop there for focused work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fly a specific airline to use the Centurion Lounge?

No. The Centurion Lounge is accessible regardless of which airline you are flying, as long as you have a qualifying Amex Platinum or Centurion card and a same-day boarding pass from MIA.

Is there a wait to get in?

During peak hours between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM, the lounge can reach capacity. They will add you to a waitlist and text you when space opens. Waits of 15 to 30 minutes are not uncommon.

Is the food better than the Admirals Club?

Significantly. The Centurion Lounge food is chef-curated with locally sourced ingredients and a rotating seasonal menu. It is closer to a restaurant experience than a standard lounge buffet.
