ATL Airport Lounges 2026 - Sky Clubs, Centurion, Priority Pass

Atlanta has more lounges than most airports because it has more Delta than any airport: eight Sky Clubs, the densest cluster in Delta’s network, plus an Amex Centurion Lounge, two independent lounges that take Priority Pass, an Admirals Club and three Minute Suites. Because the Plane Train links every concourse in under ten minutes, the lounge you use depends on the card in your wallet, not the gate you leave from. Here is the full list as of September 2026, with hours and access rules checked against the operators.

Delta Sky Clubs

Delta operates eight Sky Clubs at ATL: near gate T6 (4:30 am to 9 pm), A Center on the upper level (5:30 am to 10:30 pm), near A17 (6 am to 10 pm), near B18 (5:30 am to 10:30 pm), near C37 (6:45 am to 10:30 pm), D Centerpoint near D18 (6 am to 10 pm), across from E15 (6:30 am to 10:30 pm) and on the Concourse F mezzanine (6:45 am to midnight, the latest closing). The D Centerpoint club opened in 2025 at 24,500 square feet and the A17, A Center and C37 clubs were renovated in 2025 and 2026, adding about 15 per cent more seats. All serve a hot and cold buffet, a self-service bar with premium pours for purchase, coffee and Wi-Fi; the F club is the one used by SkyTeam partners Air France, KLM, Virgin Atlantic, Korean Air and Aeromexico for their premium passengers, and it and the larger clubs have shower suites. Access requires a same-day Delta or partner boarding pass (Basic Economy fares are excluded) plus one of: a Sky Club membership, the Delta SkyMiles Reserve card (15 visits a year, unlimited after $75,000 spend), the Amex Platinum (10 visits a year on Delta flights), Delta One or SkyTeam business class, or SkyTeam Elite Plus status on an international ticket. Delta has announced a Delta One Lounge for ATL; it had not opened when this guide was checked.

Amex Centurion Lounge, Concourse E

The Centurion Lounge is next to gate E11 on Concourse E and is the best free lounge at ATL for anyone not flying Delta. Amex Platinum, Business Platinum and Centurion cardholders enter with a same-day boarding pass on any airline, within three hours of departure, and Platinum members can bring two guests free (more at $50 each). Delta SkyMiles Reserve cardholders can also use it when flying Delta on a ticket bought with the card. It has a chef-designed dining menu, a cocktail bar, quiet work areas, a family room and shower suites; queues form in the late afternoon.

The Club ATL, Concourse F

The Club ATL by Airspace is on the mezzanine of the International Terminal concourse, next to the chapel, open 5:30 am to 11 pm. It is the strongest Priority Pass lounge at the airport, with a hot and cold buffet, a full bar, showers, workstations and a quiet zone, and it also takes LoungeKey and sells day passes for about $50. Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways send their business-class passengers here. Passengers on domestic flights can use it too: ride the Plane Train to F and back (about eight minutes each way from the Domestic Terminal).

Escape Lounge, Concourse A

The Escape Lounge on Concourse A is open 5 am to 10 pm with a buffet, a full-service bar and workstations. It takes Priority Pass and is part of the Amex Global Lounge Collection, so Platinum cardholders enter free; day passes are about $55. It is small and fills in the morning peak, when the A Center Sky Club a few gates away is the alternative for Delta flyers.

Admirals Club, Concourse T

American Airlines’ only lounge at ATL is on Concourse T, open 5 am to 9 pm, with a self-service bar, snacks, coffee and Wi-Fi. Access is by Admirals Club membership, the Citi AAdvantage Executive card, oneworld Emerald or Sapphire status, or a $79 day pass.

Minute Suites, Concourses B, E and F

Minute Suites are private rooms rather than lounges, but Priority Pass covers the first hour in one, which makes them the quietest Priority Pass benefit at ATL. Locations are near gate B24, in the Concourse E atrium (with showers) and near gate F6; rooms have a daybed, a desk, a TV and Wi-Fi, and extra time is charged at about $42 an hour. Our day rooms guide has the full pricing.

Lounges and hotels

Lounges close between 9 pm and midnight, so an overnight at ATL needs a room, not a card; the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway has a Club Lounge with breakfast and evening snacks two minutes away by SkyTrain, the Renaissance Concourse Atlanta Airport a concierge lounge with runway views, and the Atlanta Airport Marriott an M Club. For the morning after, a SkyTrain hotel plus the Concourse F Sky Club or The Club ATL covers a departure at any hour. See our sleeping in the airport guide and the connecting at ATL guide for how lounges fit a connection.
