Centurion Lounge Seattle Review: Is It Worth It?

By Bryce Casson, Founder · Cardocrat · Updated August 2026

The short answer: The Centurion Lounge Seattle is in the Central Terminal, on the mezzanine at Seattle (SEA). a large central bar in a spacious, light-filled room. You get in free with the Amex Platinum or Business Platinum (and the Centurion Card), flying any airline the same day. Since 2023, guests are no longer complimentary unless you spend $75,000 on the card in a year; otherwise guests are $50 each, with children under 18 free.

Here is an honest, on-the-ground look at what the space is actually like, what you will eat and drink, how crowded it tends to get, and exactly which cards open the door.
