The Club Lounge at SFO — First Look at Amenities, Location, and More

San Francisco International Airport is rife with lounges, with tons of options available no matter where you’re traveling.

But the newest — and arguably one of the best — has just opened in SFO’s new Terminal 1. We got an inside look at The Club Lounge and admit it’s not your typical Priority Pass lounge experience.

Let’s go over the details.

Location

The Club is in the new Harvey Milk Terminal 1 of San Francisco International Airport (SFO). If you’re coming in from Terminal 1, it’s just after the security checkpoint. Otherwise, you can walk through to the lounge from other gates — they’re all connected post-security.

Signage is obvious for The Club, which is located right next to gate B4.

Hours of Operation

The Club is open from 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily.

How To Access The Club Lounge at SFO

Since this is a Priority Pass lounge, many travelers can access the new space. Those with a premium travel credit card with a Priority Pass Select membership can get in. These include:

• The Platinum Card^® from American Express (enrollment required)
• Chase Sapphire Reserve^®
• Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card*×Information collected independently. Not reviewed by Capital One.

If you don’t have a Priority Pass membership, you can also purchase a day pass for $75.

Amenities

Since The Club at SFO is brand-new, it’s pretty snazzy. There’s a lot of attention to detail within the lounge, and it really shows. This includes a workout room, showers, and even a fire pit area.

Seating

The main portion of the lounge features a few different seatings areas, all of which are bright and airy.

The lounge is supposed to evoke Northern California vibes, and it does a pretty good job with green and brown tones.

There’s also a semi-separate bar area with plenty of places to relax.

If you’re looking for more privacy, there’s also an unmarked quiet room located just to the right of the elevator.

Finally, and probably the coolest little detail in the lounge, is the fire pit seating area.

Just at the entrance to the lounge, this is the best place to evoke those Northern California vibes.

Food and Drink

There are a few different options available for you if you’re looking to eat in the lounge.

The self-service buffet has both hot and cold food.

In addition to the buffet, there’s also an action station where you can order different types of food, like French toast, shrimp skewers, and breakfast sandwiches.

Finally, everywhere you sit, there are QR codes that can be scanned. From there, you can order food too — though the kind that’s available isn’t clear since the feature wasn’t live when we visited.

Of course, if you’re looking for drinks, the expansive bar area has a selection of cocktails and beer on offer, though they’ll make you anything if you ask.

There is also a pretty nice selection of draft beers on offer if you’re interested.

And, of course, there’s coffee, soda, and water available if you’re looking to quench your thirst.

Showers

The Club SFO has 3 shower rooms available, all of which can be booked via the QR codes scattered around.

Luminescence Room

In addition to the main seating areas, the Club SFO has 3 private luminescence rooms. Again, these can be booked by the app, including a closed door and the ability to shift the lighting to whatever you like.

Workout Studio

Along with a very cool fire pit, The Club SFO also has a workout room. Sure, you can do yoga and stuff with it, but how neat is it that you can do a full-on workout and then have a shower before hopping on a flight?

The coolest part? There are Lululemon mirrors that will coach sessions for you.

Family Rooms

If you’re traveling with children or a family, there are also dedicated spaces for you. The first is the family room, which is actually a bit smaller than you’d hope.

There’s also a nursing room available near the showers.

Final Thoughts

The Club at San Francisco Airport (SFO) is meant to be a flagship of their brand, and it shows.

With thoughtful details such as heated floors near the fire pit and cool technology like workout mirrors, it aims to be more than just a pit stop on the way to your flight. Worth arriving early for? With a Priority Pass membership, that’s a resounding yes.
