The Capital One Lounge at Denver is on the Concourse A mezzanine near gate A34, one train stop from the main terminal. Because DEN has no Priority Pass lounge at all, this is the only lounge a Venture X gets you into at Denver, and it's a good one: showers, relaxation rooms and the biggest bar in Capital One's network. United flyers in B should budget extra time for the train.

How to get in
Venture X or Venture X Business. Bring your physical card or the digital lounge pass in the Capital One app and a same-day boarding pass with a confirmed seat on any airline. See the Venture X guide.
Authorized users. No free access since Feb. 1, 2026. The primary cardholder can buy it for $125 per authorized user per year.
Other Capital One cards. Venture, Venture Business and Spark Miles cardholders pay $45 per adult ($25 per child).
Everyone else. $90 per visit when there's space, with a same-day departing boarding pass.
What doesn't work. Priority Pass, Amex and Chase cards. And because Denver's only Priority Pass listing is a restaurant credit that card-issued memberships don't cover, the lounge network on your Venture X or Sapphire Reserve gets you nothing else here.
Guest policy
Guests pay $45 (18 and up) or $25 (17 and under) per visit; children under 2 are free and must be with a parent or guardian. Once your Venture X or Venture X Business account reaches $75,000 in net purchases in a calendar year, up to two guests per visit are free at Capital One Lounges. Under Capital One's current terms that lasts the rest of the year, the following year, and until Jan. 31 after that.
What it's like
At roughly 10,800 square feet, Denver is one of Capital One's larger lounges. What reviewers and Capital One's listings highlight:
- Bar: the largest bar in the Capital One network, with Colorado-sourced beer, including a Denver-inspired "Perfect Airport Beer."
- Food: complimentary food built around Colorado-sourced ingredients. Our DEN research found no full-service coffee bar here, unlike some newer locations.
- Rest: relaxation rooms stocked with blankets, eye covers and earplugs, plus shower suites.
- Work: private workstations you can reserve, outlets at every seat and fast Wi-Fi.
- Families: a parents' room.
We couldn't find recent, sourced reporting on peak crowding at DEN. If it fills up, the Capital One app runs a digital waitlist and shows live capacity.
Getting there
Take the underground train from the main terminal; Concourse A is the first stop. Go up to the mezzanine near gate A34. Concourse A serves a mix of airlines, including United, Delta, Frontier and international carriers, but most United flights leave from B and Southwest uses C. All three concourses are airside and linked by the train, so you can reach the lounge from any gate without re-clearing security. The Points Analyst suggests allowing 10–15 minutes each way from B or C.
Nearby alternatives
- Centurion Lounge DEN, Concourse C mezzanine near gate C46 (Amex Platinum).
- United Clubs in A (near A25) and B (near B32, B44, plus United Club Fly near B60).
- Delta Sky Club in Concourse A and the Admirals Club near C32.
- No Priority Pass lounge anywhere at DEN, and no Chase Sapphire Lounge.
If you fly United from B, a United Club in your own concourse may beat the train ride. Full list: DEN airport lounges.
