Enjoy Your Pre-Flight Time
Between early-morning departures, long layovers and flights that stretch late into the night, every traveler knows the value of a quiet place to pause. At Denver International Airport (DEN), the Plaza Premium Lounge in partnership with Capital One offers passengers a comfortable retreat above the activity of Concourse A.
Opened Nov. 3, 2023, the lounge became the third Plaza Premium Lounge at a U.S. airport and DEN’s first common-use lounge. That means travelers do not need to fly a specific airline to visit. Whether you are starting a vacation, connecting between flights or looking for a calmer place to wait before boarding, the lounge gives guests another way to spend time at DEN.
Settle in Before Takeoff
Inside, guests can choose the experience that fits their travel day. Lounge bays offer a place to relax, quiet areas provide space to recharge, dedicated workstations make it easier to catch up on emails, and dining areas give travelers room to enjoy a meal before heading to the gate. The lounge also includes a full-service Aero Bar, showers, meeting spaces, quiet rooms, a parents’ room and other traveler-friendly amenities.
A Taste of Denver
The lounge also brings local flavor into the passenger experience. Guests can pair pastries from Gateaux Bakery with coffee from Huckleberry Roasters or enjoy drinks from Yacht Club or Cerveceria Colorado while taking in views of the Rocky Mountains. Throughout the day, the experience shifts with the pace of travel: specialty coffee in the morning, tea and baked goods during an afternoon layover, or a champagne “sunset toast” before a late-night flight.
Eligible Capital One cardholders can access the Plaza Premium Lounge through Capital One’s partnership with Plaza Premium Group. Walk-in guests may also visit with a same-day boarding pass and paid entry, subject to availability. Because access rules, guest policies and pricing can change, travelers should confirm the latest terms with Capital One or Plaza Premium before arriving.
Where to Find It
The Plaza Premium Lounge in partnership with Capital One is located on the mezzanine level of Concourse A, near Gate A34. From the concourse floor, travelers can take the escalators up near the gate to reach the lounge. It is open daily from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m.; travelers should check current hours before visiting. The lounge is open to both Capitol One Venture X cardholders and the general traveling public.
