These Are the Best Airport Lounges, According to Yelp

For those still on the fence about which airport lounge they want to join, Yelp’s new report on the most loved ones could provide some great insight. 

Having access to an airport lounge makes the whole travel experience a little better, according to everyone who has lounge access. The process of choosing one isn’t super simple though; everything from your home airport to how much you’re willing to spend is a factor. But the most important factor is: which one will be worth the effort?

One way to help narrow down the options is to know who seems the most satisfied with their lounge access. Yelp’s Most Loved Airport Lounges for 2025 list, which was meticulously ranked, comes after the platform saw an 18 percent year-over-year increase in search between 2023 and 2024. Yelp gave each brand a score, based on total pageviews, searches, photo uploads, reviews, and average star rating. Then, each metric was weighted equally in the final calculation to determine the six best airport lounges. 

At the top of the list, American Express’ Centurion Lounge, which is also the only credit-card based lounge on the list. According to Yelp reviews, Centurion is the best because of its spaciousness, comfort, and “regional, Michelin-starred chef-driven food and drink menus that highlight local flavors and rotate by location.” Some of these features are also offered at new Delta One Lounges, including focusing more on locally sourced high-end foods. 

These are the six most loved airport lounges, according to Yelp:

1. Centurion Lounge
2. Delta Sky Lounge
3. United Club
4. American Airlines Admirals Club
5. Minute Suites
6. Air France Lounge

The great news about the rise in airport lounge options means that the competition has raised standards across the board. Now, it is expected that lounges will have full-service bars, high-speed WiFi, workspaces, and private call rooms. 

Minute Suites stands out as the only lounge on the list that doesn’t require a high bar for entry. You can book one hour stays starting at £65, and get access to private nap pods. Minute Suites doesn’t come with some of those other amenities — you won’t find an endless supply of cheeses or fresh cups of coffee, but with no credit card membership required, it’s an option for those who are lounge-curious.
