This is an archival piece from the Premier Guide Miami collection. The coverage, context, and details reflect the time it was originally published.
American Express has opened its Centurion Lounge at Miami International Airport, and the space is the most significant upgrade to the MIA passenger experience in years. The lounge — located in the D concourse, accessible to Platinum and Centurion cardholders — features a full-service bar, a restaurant with a menu developed by a local chef, a spa, and a design that reflects Miami's architectural identity.
Miami International is one of the busiest international airports in the United States, handling more than 40 million passengers a year. The Centurion Lounge sets a new standard for airport hospitality in South Florida — a standard that the airport's other lounges will now have to meet.
The lounge is open to Platinum Card, Centurion, and Delta SkyMiles Reserve cardholders. It is located past security in the D concourse. The bar opens at 6 AM. The spa opens at 7 AM. Miami International has never looked like this.

Two Ways to Eat Well in Miami: The Resy Credit Track vs. The OpenTable Experience Track
Miami's dining scene has split into two tracks. The Resy Credit track (Macchialina, AVIV, Hakkasan, Miss Crispy Rice, La Bibliothèque, Torno Subito, Bondi, Americana Kitchen) is where the city's most-reviewed, most-consistent, most-beloved rooms live. The OpenTable experience track (ELYU, Francesco Martucci, Sushi Inoshin, Loews Rooftop Cellar Series) is where the most ambitious ticketed dining happens. Only Hakkasan and Torno Subito appear on both. This is the article that maps the split.
