Review: Chase Sapphire Lounge Boston (BOS)
The Chase Sapphire Lounge in Boston (BOS), specifically the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club lounge Boston, is an excellent lounge with a great decor and a respectable selection of food and drinks.
Chase Sapphire Lounge Boston Review (BOS)
We’ve reviewed the Chase Sapphire Lounges in San Diego (SAN), New York (LGA) and New York (JFK) and was curious to see how this one measured up.
As in San Diego, what I noticed was the clientele was very millennial. So often airline lounges reflect first class cabins…old white men (nothing wrong with old white men…I’ll soon be one of them!). This lounge was full of young people which seems to reflect the customer base for Chase’s premium card products like the Chase Sapphire Reserve.
Hours + Access + Location
You’ll find the lounge in the Terminal B to Terminal C connector. The closest gate is B40. From the departure level, you can take stairs or an elevator up one level to the lounge.
It is open daily from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm, with a last-call on bar service at 10:30 pm.
Chase Sapphire Reserve and J.P. Morgan Reserve cardmembers enjoy complimentary access to this lounge, along with two guests. Ritz-Carlton credit cardholders can bring in an unlimited number of guests (we’ll see how long that lasts…). Application link for the cards here. This is a Priority Pass Lounge operated by The Club, but Priority Pass customers who are not accessing the lounge through their Chase Sapphire Reserve card may only visit a Sapphire Lounge by The Club once per calendar year without guests. Guests and subsequent visits cost 75 USD each.
Seating
As you enter the lounge, you can walk left and then turn left again for the bar (plenty of seating there) or right for the dining area, with tables and chairs. Beyond the bar is a more formal sitting area and there’s also seating behind the check-in desks. A long corridor to the right of the check-in area connects different parts of the lounge, but there is no seating.
As you can see, the dining side of the lounge was fairly crowded while the rest of the lounge was empty.
Plugs are everywhere (120-volt, USB-A, USB-C) and wi-fi is very fast.
Wellness Area
Beyond the seating area, there are four massage chairs in a room which requires a code to unlock the door. You can register for one of these chairs on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Family Room
In the rear of the lounge was a family room with books and toys for children as well as a television screening cartoons.
It was occupied, hence just the one picture from outside.
Food + Drinks
The lounge has a beautiful bar (all drinks free), a buffet, and an a la carte menu (available via QR code).
Simply order drinks or food from your seat:
Breakfast a la carte selection in Chase Sapphire Lounge in Boston
I didn’t eat anything, but the food did look very appetizing.
I did, however, drink coffee was elated to see coffee from Atomic Coffee Roasters…my (homemade) flat white was excellent.
There are beverage stations with water, soft drinks, coffee, and tea, located around the lounge.
Restrooms + Showers
Restrooms and shower suites are available. There was a long wait for shower suites (register by the same QR code above), so I was unable to see what the shower suites were like.
CONCLUSION
If you live in Boston or fly through BOS often, you really want to get the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. If you’re using this lounge more than a few times per year, I’d say the annual fee on the card pays for itself. This is a beautiful space with delicious food, excellent service, and many amenities. It is one of the few domestic lounges I would show up early to use.
