Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club opens at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport with first network whiskey lounge

USA. Chase, in partnership with Airport Dimensions, has opened its latest Sapphire Lounge by The Club at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, expanding its premium airport lounge network with an 18,000sq ft facility in Terminal D.

Located post-security near Gate D25, the split-level lounge is positioned to serve what Chase describes as one of its fastest-growing markets, with the Dallas-Fort Worth region continuing to rank among the top destinations for Sapphire Reserve cardmembers.

The official opening was staged on 16 July and marks another step in Chase’s growing investment in the airport lounge sector.

This latest facility introduces several concepts debuting across the network, including its first dedicated whiskey lounge and exclusive Peloton wellness content.

The lounge features a full-service bar, family room, private nursing room, showers, rest pods and Face Haus facial treatments.

Guests also have access to Peloton-guided stretching and meditation content, launching first at Dallas-Fort Worth International before being rolled out across the wider Chase Sapphire Lounge network.

The lounge includes local artwork which evokes a sense of place

Local identity is central to the design concept, with leather finishes, natural Texas-inspired materials and references to the region’s sporting culture.

A signature bar features a tiered brass canopy and a stone countertop incorporating integrated charging points.

Locally inspired F&B offer 

Food & beverage has been developed with Dallas restaurant Encina, bringing a menu inspired by Texas flavours with a contemporary American influence.

Breakfast options include blue corn butterscotch pancakes, while afternoon offerings feature slab bacon with cheddar grits.

Coffee is supplied by Fort Worth-based Cherry Coffee, while the drinks programme includes wines curated by Parcelle alongside regional cocktails, Texas spirits and locally brewed beers.

The dedicated whiskey lounge provides guided pairings, a featured cocktail programme and an exclusive custom barrel selection of Texas expressions.

The space also features two original murals by Dallas artist Kyle Bunting and has been designed as a sports-viewing environment inspired by the region’s football culture.

Chase Head of Airport Lounge Benefits Dana Pouwels said, “Dallas-Fort Worth is a region built on bold ambition, warm Texas hospitality and a distinctive sense of place, and those qualities are reflected throughout our new Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club.

“As Chase continues to deepen its commitment to North Texas, we’re proud to bring Sapphire Reserve cardmembers an elevated travel experience that reflects the scale and energy of the region, while celebrating its pioneering spirit, local flavour and rich cultural identity.

“From dishes inspired by the flavours of the Lone Star State to design that echoes the area’s blend of Western heritage and modern skyline, every detail, including the lounge network’s first-ever whiskey lounge, reflects Dallas-Fort Worth.”

Eligible Chase Sapphire Reserve, Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business, J.P. Morgan Reserve and The Ritz-Carlton Credit Card cardmembers, together with authorised users where applicable, can access the lounge under the existing Chase Sapphire Lounge programme.

Eligible Sapphire Reserve and J.P. Morgan Reserve cardmembers may bring up to two complimentary guests, while Priority Pass Select membership also provides access to more than 1,300 airport lounges globally.

Chase said the expansion of its lounge network will continue, with a new Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club scheduled to open at Los Angeles International Airport within the next 12 months.
