Miami International Airport (MIA) may soon have a new premium lounge offering, as plans move forward for a Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club in the airport’s Concourse E. The proposed lounge would represent a significant addition to Miami’s airport amenities and further expand Chase’s rapidly growing network of premium airport lounges across the United States.
Miami International Airport (MIA) welcomed more than 55 million passengers in 2025 and remains the nation’s leading gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean. Despite its size and importance, the airport’s lounge offerings have often been viewed as less competitive than those found at other major US hubs. Current options include several American Airlines Admirals Clubs®, an American Airlines Flagship® Lounge, an American Express Centurion Lounge (review here), a British Airways Lounge, and a Turkish Airlines Lounge.
The new Chase Sapphire Lounge would be approximately 14,000 square feet of underutilized space above Gate E7 in Concourse E. Texas-based AD Partnership won the competitive bidding process to develop and operate the facility (beating six other applicants). According to Miami-Dade County officials, the lounge is expected to generate nearly $94 million in revenue for the Aviation Department over the next 15 years while enhancing the passenger experience during layovers and flight delays. The project recently received preliminary approval from the county’s Aviation and Seaport Committee and includes the financing, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the facility.
Once completed, the Chase Sapphire Lounge is expected to offer premium seating, complimentary food and beverages, made-to-order dining options, a full-service bar, high-speed Wi-Fi, business workspaces, television viewing areas, quiet zones, and other hospitality-focused amenities for both domestic and international travelers.
Chase Sapphire Lounges have quickly earned a strong reputation among frequent travelers and credit card holders for offering a more elevated experience than many traditional airport lounges. Many locations feature locally inspired menus, craft cocktails, wellness amenities, and restaurant-quality dining rather than standard buffet offerings. I am a fan of the spaces, overall, and seek them out while traveling.
Anthony’s Take: An opening date for the Miami location has not yet been announced, but if approved and completed as planned, the lounge would provide travelers with one of the airport’s most premium pre-flight experiences and help strengthen the lounge offerings at Miami International Airport (MIA).
