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:
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.
Love the homemade flat white idea – will try this next time I am at the lounge. Flying out of B at BOS quite frequently makes this lounge the primary way that I justify the Reserve’s annual fee.
Looks much nicer then the one in PHX which is tiny
I have been thrilled to finally get to enjoy a top tier lounge in my hometown airport! I will soon be relocating to LAX and will not get nearly as many chances to visit though. I find even the Qantas F lounge at LAX to be inferior, and the Centurion lounge, meh. I don’t fly Delta a lot, but I actually think that their newish business class lounge at LAX is pretty darn good.
This one is my favorite. Honestly they’re all great, but this just feels calmer. Kind of like everything at BOS.
Spent couple hours last December, during my Sas challenge prior Virgin flight to Lhr, and confirm one of best lounges in U.S., amazing decor, food and brilliant staff, Aperol spritz comparing Milan’s one. Can’t wait new chance be back!
Nice review of what looks like a pleasant lounge. At the risk of being intrusive I thought that you and Chase were… not really friends. I’d suggested the Hyatt card one time and read a return comment about some sort of problem with Chase IIRC. If you don’t have a Chase card, how are you getting in to so many Chase lounges? Paying cash?
While I am still not a Chase credit card customer, I am an authorized user. It gives me access to lounges like this. But unfortunately, I cannot get Hyatt nights without being a primary card member.
