Chase has finally joined the ranks of American Express and Capital One by launching its own line of branded airport lounges. Initially announced in June 2021, Chase's lounge network, officially dubbed Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club, has been steadily expanding.
The company made a big push in 2024 when it opened a bunch of new airport locations including at New York-LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and San Diego International Airport (SAN). 2025 got one of the best lounges in the network when Chase opened its Las Vegas lounge, featuring the famous Momofuku pork buns on the menu.
Even more are coming in 2026 and beyond. Here’s what you need to know about the current and upcoming Chase Sapphire Lounges, how to get in them, and whether they're actually worth it.
Chase Sapphire Lounge locations
The Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club is small but mighty.
The Boston location opened in May 2023 in Terminal B. Spanning over 11,000 square feet, this lounge offers a mix of local flavors, stylish seating areas and amenities like wellness rooms. It’s accessible to Priority Pass members and Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholders.

The Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club in Las Vegas introduces a few new concepts. For one, there's a champagne parlor on the top floor. Then there's the lower level buffet, where Chase has brought in food from Momofuku restaurant group. That means all-you-can-eat pork buns in what is perhaps the glitziest hideaway at this otherwise chaotic airport.

Launched in August 2024, the LGA Chase Sapphire lounge in Terminal B is Chase’s crown jewel. At over 21,000 square feet, it features locally-inspired cuisine, craft cocktails and spaces tailored for relaxation and productivity. Compare that to the Centurion Lounge next door, which comes in at less than half the size by square footage.
And how does Chase fill all that space? It does so easily by way of all sorts of unique features including a children’s playroom, photo booth and arcade, as well as meditation pods and treatment rooms.

Open to passengers since February 2025, the Chase Sapphire lounge in PHL is 20,000 square feet, making it one of the largest locations at the airport, as well as in the Chase lounge network. Amenities include complimentary 30-minute facials, showers, private rest pods and elevated dining.
The Philadelphia lounge is also home to a beer garden, where travelers can munch on Philly-inspired snacks and order a flight of local craft beers. It's also the first Chase lounge to feature TVs, a nod to the city's love for sports.
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)

Opened in late 2024, this 3,500-square-foot lounge in Terminal 4 offers a compact space. For comparison, it's only about one-third the size of the combined AmEx Centurion Lounge and Escape Lounge in Phoenix airport.
Though it doesn't offer much in the way of extra amenities, the food at the Phoenix Chase lounge is excellent. Travelers can enjoy locally inspired snacks and drinks, including roasted piquillo pepper mozzarella and a poblano pepper corn chowder. Its atmosphere has local flair including plenty of succulents, plus art by Navajo Nation artist Matthew Kirk.
San Diego International Airport (SAN)

The San Diego Chase lounge, which debuted in November 2024 in Terminal 2 West, measures 11,000 square feet. That size rivals several of AmEx's Centurion Lounge locations — and is bigger than the 9,665-square-foot lounge that AmEx bid for in the same San Diego location.
The San Diego Chase lounge includes a robust dining program, workspaces and wellness amenities including, yes, complimentary facials.
Chase pop-up lounges

In addition to its permanent locations, Chase has experimented with pop-up lounge concepts to enhance its brand visibility and offer unique experiences.
A standout example was the Chase Sapphire Lounge at the 2024 Paris Olympics, which provided athletes and cardholders a private retreat located on a boat on the Seine River, no less.
Another notable pop-up lounge appeared between late 2024 and early 2025 at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, which served up complimentary bites from Momofuku, including the famous pork belly buns — presumably to build hype ahead of the Las Vegas airport lounge opening which happened at the end of 2025.
Upcoming Chase lounge locations
Chase has announced additional lounge locations in the works
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): Tom Bradley International Terminal.
These lounges will follow Chase’s design ethos of drawing inspiration from the host city and offering a mix of food, drink, art, entertainment and wellness amenities.

How Chase Sapphire lounges compare to the competition
When Chase announced its own line of Chase lounges back in 2021, it seemed as though Chase was directly responding to the rising popularity of the American Express Centurion Lounges and Capital One Lounges. The rising trend of AmEx, Capital One and now Chase lounges means that folks holding premium credit cards now have access to swanky lounges tied to big banks. That's as opposed to the more-common type of airport lounge, which is often tied to an airline (and typically reserved for folks with ultra-high levels of airline elite status, or business and first class passengers).
Chase Sapphire lounges versus Centurion and Capital One lounges
Compared to the American Express and Capital One lounges, Chase's offerings are similar, but in some ways better.
Centurion Lounges set the initial standard of airport lounges with gourmet dining and custom cocktails. While newer Centurion Lounges include the most up-to-date features, some of the original Centurion Lounges do look a bit dated. Meanwhile, Capital One Lounges focus on practical touches such as grab-and-go food and fitness spaces.
Chase Sapphire Lounges strike a balance, offering elevated local dining experiences and curated spaces inspired by their host cities. Of course, some Chase lounges (like the LaGuardia lounge, for instance) demonstrate Chase’s rising dominance in the top-tier lounge space.
Chase Sapphire lounges versus Priority Pass
Compared to Priority Pass lounges, which vary widely in quality, Chase lounges deliver a more consistent and premium offering. Certainly some Priority Pass lounges are impossibly posh, but other lounges offer some paltry carrots and cheese cubes, with little else.
However, Chase's inclusion in the Priority Pass network could lead to overcrowding — an issue that has plagued many Priority Pass lounges in the U.S — given how so many credit cards now offer Priority Pass membership as a benefit.
