The Good

  • Arguably the best lounge experience at ATL with restaurant-quality food and craft cocktails
  • Chef-curated menu features Southern-inspired dishes using locally sourced Georgia ingredients
  • Shower suites with Byredo luxury products elevate the pre-flight experience
  • Dedicated quiet work area with phone booths is excellent for business travelers
  • The design and atmosphere feel more like a boutique hotel than an airport lounge

The Bad

  • Extremely popular, leading to long wait times during peak hours
  • Only accessible with Amex Platinum, Centurion, or Delta Reserve cards
  • Located on Concourse E, requiring a Plane Train ride from domestic gates
  • Guest policy changes have made bringing companions more complicated

Pro Tips

  • Arrive before 8:00 AM to avoid the midday crowd that regularly creates a waitlist. The breakfast menu is excellent and the lounge is peacefully empty at opening.
  • The Georgia peach bellini is the signature drink here and uses local peaches in season. Order it at the bar rather than the self-serve station for the best version.
  • If there is a waitlist, you can add your name and explore Concourse E while you wait. They will text you when a spot opens.
  • The phone booths in the work area are first-come, first-served. Grab one immediately if you need to take calls. They fill up fast after 10:00 AM.
