The new Capital One Lounge at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) opens September 7th. The new 8,500 square-foot Capital One Lounge is located just beyond the airport’s TSA PreCheck, between the East and West Security Checkpoints. Venture X cardholders enjoy unlimited complimentary access to Capital One Lounges, plus complimentary entry for two guests per visit, and Venture and Spark Miles customers enjoy special access.
The historic Washington Dulles International Airport terminal, designed by architect Eero Saarinen, served as inspiration for the mid-century modern approach to designing and furnishing the space. Located in Capital One’s hometown, the Capital One Lounge at IAD is another testament to Capital One’s continued commitment to the National Capital Region.
As with all Capital One Lounges, the new Capital One Lounge at IAD features locally-inspired, amenities that provide visitors with a best-in-class travel experience. It is designed to accommodate all types of travelers, from those looking for a quick drink or bite before they board their flights to those who are looking for a place to relax and recharge before their travel journey.
Designed with the IAD traveler in mind, Capital One prioritized not only grab-and-go food options, but also a full-service coffee and pastry bar with to-go options available. For those travelers enjoying the Lounge for a longer period of time before their departing flight, the Lounge offers ample workspaces and full service food and beverage experience featuring curated craft beer — like a Pre-Flight Helles Lager — and cocktails – like the Cherry Blossom Margarita — and health-conscious menu options served as small plates.
Capital One will be partnering with a range of local food + beverage purveyors, designers, and
artists in order to offer:
● An authentically local food + beverage program, that delivers a food and beverage experience where travelers can sit down and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal or easily grab food and beverages on the way to their gate. Visitors enjoying the Lounge for a longer stay can enjoy a custom brew from Lost Rhino Brewing Co, an Ashburn-based company; Bresca’s Bee’s Knees cocktail via partnership with Will Patton, beverage director at Jônt and Bresca; and craft chocolate from River-Sea Chocolates, a Chantilly-based chocolatier.
● A full-service coffee bar serving La Colombe cold brew on tap and drip coffee from Blanchard’s Coffee Roasting Company, a Virginia-based coffee roaster with a commitment to sustainability.
● A celebration of the region’s contemporary artists, including Josh Young, Kristen Gaudio Ensley, Michael Crosset, Judy Southerland, and more. Additionally, Central Virginia Studio, Acorn Pottery & Farm, will create custom mugs and pottery for use throughout the beverage program.
