Bank branded lounges have become a required perk for high-end credit cards. AMEX started their own lounge network when American, Continental, and USAirways stopped allowing Platinum cardholders to access their lounges. Other banks are now trying to catch up with them.

Chase opened their 8th full service club today for Chase Sapphire Reserve® Cardholders, with the opening of the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club in Philadelphia. 

That’s in addition to access to the Air Canada lounge network.

The new lounge comes after the opening of a Sapphire Lounge in Boston, JFK, LaGuardia, Hong Kong, Washington DC/IAD, Phoenix, and San Diego.

Later this year Chase will open a lounge in Las Vegas’ Concourse C. A lounge is also being planned at Los Angeles Airport’s TBIT near gate 148.

The 20,000 square-foot Philadephia lounge is located post-security in the connector between Terminals D and E and is accessible from any gate in the airport. It is open daily from 5am-10pm.

The lounge features a beer garden, game room, family room and play area, private rest pods, showers, facial treatments from Face Haus, locally roasted coffee from Philadelphia’s Elixr Coffee, signature cocktails, and more.
