Amtrak announced today that the Washington Union Station Lounge has been remodeled and make it more classic and bold. I find this interesting but I was hoping far more better than expected. The new pictures below are provided by Amtrak. More information and how to access the lounge is provided below.
Washington, DC – Union Station
- Behind the information booth, between gates D and E
- Open 4:45 am – 8:00 pm Monday – Friday; 6:00 am – 8:00 pm Saturday – Sunday
Purchasing Day Passes
Business Class passengers can buy day passes for the lounges at Philadelphia – William H Gray III 30th Street Station and Boston – South Station for $35 per day, or $50 per day at New York – Moynihan Train Hall.
