American Express has announced plans to open a centurion lounge in Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). The lounge is expected to open in 2026, but American Express is well known for never meeting deadlines when it comes to lounge openings (this was originally announced in 2021). The lounge will be 17,000 square feet and be located in terminal A and will include:
- Terrace with City Skyline Views: A 1,400 square foot indoor terrace overlooking Newark Airport’s airfield and a view of Manhattan.
- Jazz Bar and Piano Lounge: Jazz has played a role in New Jersey’s cultural landscape for decades, making the state a vibrant home for jazz enthusiasts past and present. To celebrate that history, guests will enjoy a cocktail bar inspired by the 20th Century jazz era in New Jersey and a piano lounge featuring live music.
- Archival Collection: A quiet reprieve featuring artifacts and antiques that celebrate New Jersey’s rich culture and history.
