American Express is continuing to expand its Centurion Lounge network with plans for a new location at Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC). The expansive lounge is scheduled to open in 2025 and will feature an outdoor terrace, a full-service coffee bar, a wide selection of drinks and a rotating menu with local ingredients.

Below, CNBC Select shares what to expect at the new lounge and how you'll be able to access it.

If you want to visit the SLC Amex Centurion Lounge when it opens, or any of the other 20+ Centurion Lounges worldwide, you'll need the right American Express card.

Accessing these exclusive lounges is a benefit only available with a small handful of publicly available rewards cards, including:

• The Platinum Card® from American Express
• The Business Platinum Card® from American Express
• Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card
• Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card

With the American Express Platinum or Business Platinum, you have unlimited access to Centurion Lounge up to three hours before your flight departs (subject to space availability). To take advantage of this benefit, you need your card, a valid government-issued I.D. and a same-day boarding pass. There's a $50 fee per guest, however, if your child is 2 to 17 years old, the fee drops to $30 per person (children under 2 years old are free with proof of age).

You can qualify to bring two free guests to eligible Centurion Lounges, but it's a steep requirement. You're eligible for this perk only after spending $75,000 or more on your card in a calendar year. If you hit that threshold, you'll receive the complimentary guest benefit for the rest of that calendar year and the next calendar year with the benefit expiring on Jan. 31 the year after that. So if you qualified for this perk at any point in 2024, you'd have the benefit until Jan. 31, 2026. Terms apply.

You can also access Centurion Lounges with the Delta SkyMiles Reserve or Delta SkyMiles Reserve Business card. However, with these cards, the benefit is more restricted. You must be on a same-day flight with Delta (marketed or operated flight) and must have paid for the flight with a U.S.-issued American Express card.

The guest fees are the same as what you pay with either Platinum card, but they must also be flying on a same-day Delta flight (marketed or operated by Delta). To enter, you'll need a valid Delta Reserve or Delta Reserve Business card, a valid government-issued ID and a same-day boarding pass showing an eligible Delta flight. Terms apply.

Outdoor terrace

The outdoor terrace will have heaters to keep you warm on cold days and fans to cool you off when the temperature rises. It should be a nice place to unwind and take in views of the airfield and Wasatch Mountains.

A menu designed by a renowned Resy chef

Most Centurion Lounges feature locally inspired menus curated by award-winning chefs. While we don't know the specifics on the menu (or chef) right now, you will be able to indulge in a hot breakfast, fresh desserts, rotating main dishes and a variety of sides and salads.

Full coffee bar, co*cktail menu and wine list

This lounge will have a Blue Roast by American Express coffee bar with espresso drinks, cold brew, and seasonal specialty drinks. The co*cktail menu will feature locally inspired alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks designed by Centurion Lounge Mixologist, Jim Meehan. The wine list will be curated by Centurion Lounge Wine Director and sommelier, Anthony Giglio.

If everything goes according to schedule, a new American Express Centurion Lounge will open at Salt Lake City International Airport in 2025. This continues the trend of Amex growing its already extensive Centurion Lounge network.

New Centurion Lounges recently opened at Benito Juarez International Airport in Mexico City (MEX), Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport (ATL). Several more locations are scheduled to open in the coming years, including Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND) in 2025 and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in 2026.
