We were lucky enough to attend the opening night of the Centurion Suite at Staples Center.
Located above the San Manuel Club, the lounge has a prime view of all the action. We watched the first hockey game of the season – the Kings VS. the Sharks. With a totally packed sold-out stadium, we loved the ultra-luxurious space: plenty of room to move around, mix, mingle and enjoy the game.
This VIP space offers a full service bar with a complete selection of finely crafted cocktails, beer & wine, and an array of non-alcoholic beverages for purchase. Guests can also purchase and order premium food items from the bar, prepared by renowned Levy Restaurants Chef Joseph Martin.
The Centurion Suite is conveniently located on Suite Level B.
After entering STAPLES Center from any main entrance, Card Members can proceed to the Centurion Suite check-in, located on the Main Concourse across from aisle M22 (next to the Team LA Store).
Here, a Guest Services Team Member will assist in checking in all Card Members on a first-come, first-served basis until The Centurion Suite has reached maximum capacity.
The event began with a Stanley Cup presentation (since the Kings won last year).
