Delta has unveiled a game-changing lounge at the world’s busiest airport: the sleek, 24,500-square-foot Sky Club at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International. Big enough to fit a soccer field—or a third of the White House floor space—the airline’s eighth lounge in ATL is also its second largest.

Located at Concourse D-Center Point, the new space seats 506 travelers and features a 16-seat bar, theater-style media wall, soundproof phone booths for working and sweeping panoramic views of the airfield. There’s also a sprawling buffet, two beverage stations and plenty of space to unwind or power through a layover.

The new lounge captures Atlanta’s Southern hospitality, with design elements—a brick entryway, shutter screens and coffered ceilings—that reflect its charm. A mural by local artist Ryan Coleman pays homage to the city's wealth of greenspace, featuring magnolias and dogwoods. Funky lighting and metallic accents give the space a modern, upscale feel.

“As the heart of our operation, Atlanta is more than just a hub—it’s our home,” said Claude Roussel, Delta’s VP of Sky Club and Lounge Experience. “This new space is thoughtfully designed to ensure that guests traveling through Atlanta feel the Southern hospitality of the city we know and love.”

The launch comes as Delta marks its 100th year alongside ATL’s own centennial. It’s part of a broader investment in the airline’s hometown, which includes the expansion of Concourse D and updates to Sky Clubs in Concourses A and C.

For travelers passing through ATL, Delta’s newest Sky Club isn’t just a lounge—it’s a destination.
