The trays you take are even an interesting design with heft nothing disposable about the experience.īut most of all the quality of the ingredients was shockingly high. Sure, this is their first lounge and if you’re going to break into the space you need to wow guests otherwise what would be the point? But even accounting for needing to do an impressive job I was still surprised by how good the food here is.įirst of all, everything is individually portioned as small plates rather than a large buffet. I was genuinely shocked by the quality of the food and beverage program in the lounge. There’s a room directly across from the showers with two Peleton bikes: Some of the best views in the space are in the relaxation and exercise rooms. What was missing on my visit – but I’m told is being added – is a cabinetry upon which guests can place their luggage, as well as hangers to hang clothes while showering. You can reserve a time slot for the shower at the lounge check-in desk. It’s somewhat novel, and makes me want to try out a shower in this lounge. Get it wet in the shower and the encasing dissolves in your hand. Shampoo, conditioner and bath gel is in a water soluble package. Capital One is doing exactly what I wish major hotel chains would do: offering single-use environmentally friendly packaging. I totally get the environmental impulse to avoid single use toiletry bottles, but I abhor wall-mounted shared bath amenities. The first thing I went looking for was the bath amenities.

(They also have personal shower wipes for use in the restrooms if you’re in a pinch, but nothing beats a full shower.) It’s actually a great experience, directly across from the Peletons. The lounge has a single shower room, and I worry that’s not enough. There are several different seating areas spread throughout the lounge, from more open to more intimate, with plenty of power outlets available (sometimes hidden at floor level of furnishings) and plenty of touches like hooks on tables for hand bags. Lighting here is very well done with great attention to detail, such as the backlighting behind seating areas and plenty of soft lighting from the ceiling.
The lounge has fantastic apron views, and brings the light from the somewhat modest wall of glass overlooking the tarmac into the rest of the space nicely. And the lounge scent was nice and not overpowering. Indeed, for longer stays I thought it was impressive that they have a day-long music playlist so they aren’t regularly repeating songs. The lounge is set up wonderfully for a quick drop in between flights – exactly how I often want to use a lounge – while also being a nice place to spend a few hours on a longer layover, with an outstanding buffet, bar, shower, and workout and relaxation rooms as well as a private room for nursing and a multifaith prayer room. Also near the entryway are the restrooms, which are all individual private rooms – great for taking a few minutes to freshen up and have privacy. Right near the entryway is a grab ‘n go market with interesting sandwiches, salads and juices. The Capital One lounge is to the left, and Flagship to the right, once you’re upstairs.
You’ll enter a room where there’s an elevator up to both the Capital One lounge DFW airport and American Airlines Flagship business class lounge. The lounge is just to the right of gate D22. Inside The Capital One Lounge DFW Airport You walk through a small reception space and take an elevator that’s shared with AA Flagship up a level. The lounge is located at gate D22, next to the American Airlines Flagship lounge, in the space that used to be occupied by several foreign airline lounges.
I’m hoping it scales and is sustainable, because you’re going to want to check it out. They’ve invested a lot, and what impressed me most was the food which wasn’t just ‘good for an airport lounge’ but genuinely good. This is a great space, really thoughtfully designed with a lot of details built-in. I had the opportunity to visit the very first Capital One lounge DFW Airport on Wednesday, a couple of weeks before opening.
