The American Express Centurion Lounge at JFK has undergone a significant change. The previous wellness-focused Equinox Body Lab has been replaced with a new full-service coffee bar called Blue Roast. This shift reflects a trend towards more popular and practical amenities for travelers. The lounge aims to enhance the experience for guests by offering a range of complimentary coffee options.
• The Equinox Body Lab was closed, likely due to low popularity or a lapsed partnership.
• Blue Roast offers various espresso drinks, cold brews, and seasonal specialties.
• Healthy food options like smoothies, avocado toast, and chia pudding will also be available.
• This is the second Centurion Lounge to feature a dedicated coffee bar, following Seattle's recent renovations.
This change highlights a growing focus on maximizing lounge space for amenities that cater to the needs of frequent flyers. By prioritizing popular offerings like coffee and seating, Amex is adapting to traveler preferences and improving the overall lounge experience.
