Chase Bank is set to open its first domestic Sapphire Lounge by The Club at Boston Logan International Airport on May 16.

This exclusive lounge for Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders offers a unique travel experience, featuring local cuisine from Chef Douglass Williams and a signature taproom serving locally crafted beer and coffee from Beverly, Massachusetts, Atomic Coffee Roasters.

In addition, the lounge is designed to reflect the history and identity of Boston and offers views of the iconic Boston Harbor.

The 11,640 square foot lounge provides travelers with areas to relax and recharge, including two wellness rooms equipped with anti-gravity massage chairs and guided meditations from Master Well-Being Educator and Healer Devi Brown.

The space also offers a private nursing suite, dual-head shower rooms, and all-gender restrooms stocked with Apotheke products. In addition, artwork from emerging artists like Cig Harvey and Pelle Cass and local Boston-based artist Silvia López Chavez adorn the lounge’s walls.

The Boston Lounge is the first of many planned Sapphire Lounges by The Club, with locations set to open in Las Vegas, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and San Diego airports.

“Our Sapphire Lounges are part of our commitment to elevate the travel journey for Chase cardmembers,” said Allison Beer, CEO of Card Services and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase & Co. “Our goal for Chase Travel is to mirror our investment in high-tech travel platforms with the high-touch experience that you see in our Sapphire lounges today.”

The Boston Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club, located in the Terminal B to C Connector, between gates B40 and B39, will be available to Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers with a Priority Pass membership and up to two guests.

Priority Pass members without a Sapphire Reserve card can enter a Sapphire Lounge by The Club location once at no cost per calendar year. However, they will be charged an entry fee upon each subsequent visit to any location within the Sapphire Lounge by The Club network.
