American Express Membership Rewards - AMEX independent lounge in GRU airport

hello all,

accordng to this:

http://www.loungeguide.net/wiki/u/Sao_Paulo_(GRU)_Independent_American_Express_Loung e

there is an AMEX lounge in GRU airport. Unfortunately, this link does not say when it's opened and I am not sure if it's accurate. I can't find any information on this apart from this link. Does anyone know this lounge and the opening times. This is not the Priority Pass lounge, is it?

We're arriving late (10pm) on a BA flight and need to wait 4 hours for our connection to GIG, with GOL airlines.

Not sure if it's open past 11pm. You should know it's outside the sterile area. You could also try the Delta lounge (which is inside), however I've been there at 5AM and they were closed (not sure if they were closed since midnight, 2am or what). Delta in GRU will allow access just by showing your AMEX Plat, no matter what airline you are traveling.

Enjoy LR

Amex has a few of these lounges - there is one in MEX as well. There are some old threads discussing these.

The AMEX GRU lounge is decent:
-There's self-service snacks and non-alchoholic beverages.
-There are 2 free internet enabled computers.
-There's a nice bathroom.

It's located landside, one floor above ticketing.
It's called the centurion lounge, but the name is a misnomer, my AMEX Plat got me in along with 2 guests for free, and AMEX Gold should get you in as well.

Thank you for that information.

AMEX Gold should get you in as well.

How can one be sure about that? Is one guest allowed with Gold card?

Is this lounge accessible to domestic TAM or Varig/Gol pax? Are there any lounges that are?

Gold card holders can invite at least 1 guest AFAIK...
