California grapes,” said Anthony Giglio, sommelier and Centurion
Lounge Wine Director. “For our first-ever wine flight experience,
I’m thrilled to feature two of America’s most famous and
established wine regions - Sonoma and Napa Valley.”
ELEVATED DINING AND DESIGN
The lounge will offer a new seasonal menu that celebrates Bay
Area purveyors from Liholiho Yacht Club Executive Chef Ravi Kapur.
The Hawaiian-born, James Beard Award-nominated chef will continue
to bring his unique flair to the Centurion Lounge at SFO with
dishes inspired by his lineage and family memories including,
Kochujang marinated chicken thighs, wild rice and coconut soup, and
black vinegar and honey glazed baby carrots.
Consumers appreciate premium dining options when traveling
through airport lounges. A recent Amex Trendex* survey found that a
majority of respondents (64%) said that premium food and beverage
offerings are their favorite parts of airport lounges.
The lounge will showcase two custom floor-to-ceiling
wallcoverings by abstract artist Tracie Cheng, and new interior
design that takes cues from the local vineyards, landscape, and the
iconic San Francisco fog to give guests a sense of relaxation.
UNPARALLELED ACCESS
With more lounge options than any other credit card issuer on
the market and the only credit card issuer with a proprietary
lounge at SFO, the American Express Global Lounge Collection™ is
