Capital One To Open New Lounge at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
A new Capital One lounge is opening tomorrow at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) near Washington DC.
This new location is a bit different from other Capital One lounges. It is a previously announced culinary-focused concept called Capital One Landing, which promises a top-notch experience that travelers can enjoy just a short walk from their gate.
The award-winning José Andrés Group has designed Capital One Landing’s food and beverage menu, focusing on authentic, Spanish-style tapas. The menu also includes beers imported from Spain, and carts full of caviar cones and Basque cheesecake.
“I want people to feel like they’re coming to a place that somebody has put in love and care,” Mr. Andrés said in an interview for NYT ahead of Tuesday’s opening.
The Capital One lounge at DCA spans 5,500-square-feet. It has distinctive touches that include decorative paneling, contemporary art, and brown-and-blue tiles meant to evoke Spanish interiors.
The venture is envisioned as a lounge-and-restaurant hybrid. There’s a grab-and-go section and a separate seated dining area will both be open to the public.
The grab-and-go menu features pork empanadas, gazpacho, smoked brisket sandwiches, and fresh juices spiced with cardamom and saffron.
In order to sit down and order food in the dining area, visitors will pay an entry fee. Venture and Spark Miles cardholders will pay a special rate of $45, while Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders have unlimited complimentary access and free entry for one guest per visit. All other Capital One cardholders and non-cardholders, it’ll cost $90 per visit.
