Why not use the one they closed several years ago? It was really nice. Much better than all the cheap white plastic that their current club at SEA.

About Time!
Article says "late 2016". The problem with the existing S terminal Skyclub is that it's too far with the underground tube from the A and B gates where all of Delta's short-haul flights depart.
It the mean time, I think Diamonds have access to the Amex lounges at end of A and B concourses. I haven't tried that option yet.

For those who do have an Eligible Amex card be advised the Centurion Studio has stricter guest access (only 1 guest) vs the larger Centurion lounges (i.e. LAS). I learned this when I tried to enter with my mom and my husband and we were turned away. One can't even purchase a day pass at a "studio" sized club. It is quite nice and the food options are much higher quality than in the SkyClub IMO.

The SkyClub is right next to the escalators for the train, which takes you to the escalators that come up by A4 or B11. What's your worst case scenario? 8, maybe 10 minutes?
Seems like having more room is the much bigger value here...

I actually like the Centurion Studio. It is small, usually quiet, always very clean, and the staff are friendly. Maybe not as good as the other studios, but a much quieter and calmer alternative to the SkyClub at S.

I've been told that the shower rooms will be more, and will no longer be enclosed within the bathroom.
The current lounge in S concourse is 7000 square foot. The new lounge will be three times that at 21,000 square foot and be amongst the top five largest.

PS-So I believe this will be the 6th location within SeaTac with Crown Room/World Club/Sky Club. Three are within S concourse (One in middle of S concourse-no window, One by S9, and current upper S concourse), and one at B concourse (now occupied by Amex), one at A concourse (now occupied by "The Club"), and then the new 6th location atop A and B concourse.

The DEN club fell victim to the great Crown Room Club Massacre of 2008.

I'm confident they will be. If I recall correctly, the showers in SEA weren't even originally slated to be built as the club was designed before the hub strategy rolled out. They were added as an afterthought, which is why they are in what would ordinarily be an ADA stall's footprint in the restrooms. Building a new club in A with the new international arrivals facility in mind, I would expect there will be at least 2 and possibly more independent shower suites in the new club.

That club is now a common access lounge shared by multiple carriers. It's also hampered by a very inconvenient location for Delta's operations in SEA, all the way down at the wrong end of A.
