Capital One Lounge
Editorial Review
The Capital One Lounge at Washington Dulles International Airport is a solid 7/10 credit card-accessible lounge. Its convenient location within the main terminal, ample power outlets, and generally clean environment are major strengths. The lounge offers a decent selection of snacks and complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages; including local craft beers. However, the food options can feel limited compared to some other airport lounges. Crowding is typically manageable except during peak hours (late mornings and early evenings). This lounge is an excellent choice for Capital One cardholders seeking a reliable and comfortable respite before or after a flight, particularly those who value a stress-free experience with convenient access and clean facilities.
