feature a shared entrance, separate reception areas, specialty
cocktails, fresh locally-inspired cuisine, and more.
“Our premium Card Members tell us that lounge access is the
number one travel benefit they’re looking for, so we’re excited to
bring two world class lounge experiences to Phoenix Sky Harbor
International Airport,” said Alexander Lee, Vice President of
Loyalty and Benefits at American Express. Lee added, “The Centurion
Lounge in Phoenix is our 10th location and builds on the ongoing
growth of our lounge access with plans to open five more Centurion
Lounges in airports around the world.”

restaurants Gallo Blanco and Otro Cafe. The menus will include a
range of dishes such as eggs and chorizo, tortilla soup, pollo
asado with a tamarind glaze, roasted cauliflower with harissa and a
masala galam yogurt sauce, and more.
"I’m honored to bring my dishes to The Centurion Lounge and

alike,” said Chef Doug Robson. “These menus are inspired by my
upbringing in Mexico City and the multicultural flavors and energy
of the cuisine.”
