Let’s Talk About This Whiskey Reserve Bar, Darling
One word: exclusive. The ATL Centurion Lounge is the only one in the country with a dedicated Whiskey Bar, and if that doesn’t make your Delta SkyMiles quiver, I don’t know what will.
It’s a cozy, wood-accented hideaway tucked inside the lounge, where whiskey connoisseurs and lounge lizards unite. You’ll find a carefully curated menu of premium whiskeys (bourbons too, don’t worry), along with specialty cocktails you can’t get anywhere else. It’s basically a southern speakeasy with a runway view.
This room alone makes showing up 3 hours early totally worth it.
Views That Deserve Their Own Boarding Pass
The ATL Centurion Lounge doesn’t just feed you and pamper you it wows you. Floor to ceiling windows look out over the airfield and whether it’s a sunrise departure or a golden hour arrival the runway views are next level
Grab a glass of something aged kick back in a sleek velvet chair and pretend you own a G650. No judgment we’ve all done it.
Food That Puts Terminal C to Shame
