Red Carpet Club

The club functions as a quiet respite from the chaotic C/​D concourse. It’s well maintained, but just a tad dark (lighting & colors).
However, there’s no free booze (cash/​credit bar, drinks are a few dollars up to $ 11), limited snack selection (baby carrots, crackers, cookies, cereal, chocolate covered raisins), and limited drink selection (soda, juice, tea, water). Also, reading material and wifi is available.
The only reason to come here is for the friendly staff attitudes and the super-​empowered customer service agents who can fix things for you without having to stand with the commoners out at the gates.
Otherwise, I would argue that you’re better off just staying outside the glass doors if this isn’t the kind of stuff you want or need.

A nice getaway to pop into if you’re on a layover or early for a flight… I tend to try and visit the United Club Rooms whenever possible, and this one here is pretty nice. The woman at the front was an absolute doll, and that always helps when you are coming in groggy off a flight over the pond.
I can say if there is one thing they need, phone chargers! Its a must to have these available for customers to borrow these days.
Very clean, open seating and plenty of television selections. Go DC… :)

Fly United and expect to be treated like a King/​Queen — never!

I do like this club.
THey always remember my name, even though I apparently can’t extend the same courtesy.
Service is always prompt, it’s clean, quiet, a nice reprieve from the insanity of the airport.

Overall it was comfortable, but I’ve experience much nice Clubs by United. This was the one in the D Concourse.

A note about all United Clubs. They food/​snack choices are limited. They are often crowded. But, they provide a much needed break from the chaos of being out in the main concourse. If you fly more than 10 or 12 times a year and have a layover, an airline club may be a good investment.
This club is a bit dark and like being in a tunnel. Their interior decorator should be beaten with a wet noodle. The last time I was in this club, it was so packed you could hardly find a place to sit. Fortunately, on a Saturday morning, this club is pretty empty. There are 2 United Clubs in the C concourse and one (this one) in the D concourse. I usually stop off in the club across from C17 since it is the most centrally located. Today, my flight is out of gate D7 so I figured I would trudge down here early.
I started to give the club 2 stars, but I noticed that this club is well maintained. The people that keep this club clean seem to take pride in their work. The snack area (while sparse — but typical of any United Club) is well maintained, neat, and clean.
The front desk ladies were nice and seemed genuinely happy to see people coming in the club (LAX clubs taken note!). They greeted everyone and seemed to try and personalize every greeting by asking about your destination or how your day was going.
The business center was quiet and provides desks and places to charge up my laptop and phones/​pads/​pods without having to park next to a pillar or sit next to a wall out in the concourse.
This club is on the ground level of the airport, so if you want to watch airport ops from the view of the «help», this is a good place. There are windows on both sides that look out on to the tarmac and directly under airplanes. This can provide an interesting view of planes being serviced and your luggage being abused.
The first time I used this club, the club was crowded and the WiFi (while free) was unusable. Today it is speedy and works great, though admittedly the club is mostly empty.

It was nice and relaxing after two long flights earlier in the day. Food, drinks, power for electronics, clean bathrooms. After traveling Europe on trains for 40 days it was nice to be treated like I deserve.

Closing at 9:30 PM is terrible. One needs a club especially for late (and delayed) flights.
At least the staff was quite friendly and the house red is okay.
I only use the club when I get free access while traveling on an international itinerary. I would not pay for membership!

Bad service and horrible décor, I might be bias though because I’m not a fan of the airport it’s located in.

An oasis of peace and quiet inside an ocean of noise and craziness. If you’re an elite flier, you know what I’m talking about. Instead of waiting for your flight out there with the screaming kids and the constant overhead announcements where you’re fighting for a seat near the power outlets so that you can pay for a wifi connections… why not spend your time in here where the booze is free (some of it), the snacks are free (they’re nothing to write home about, but it’s still free) and the wifi is free. Plentiful power outlets in quiet areas where you can connect your laptop or iPhone to the Internet.
United does sell day passes to the clubs. If you have a really long layover and don’t want to leave the airport, these can be really handy. They are good for 24 hours, so if you’re connecting to another airport where there is a United Club, you can use it there.
Tip: You’ll need to get a voucher for a wifi login from the desk when you check in.
Note: Unlike the other Clubs in the C concourse, there is no conference room available here.

Glad I don’t pay for club membership because this place is awful. Gross bathrooms. Terrible wireless signal (cell and Wifi). Bad service. No diet drinks. Marginal coffee. Crowded. I could go on and on.

The club in DC is no different than any other club I visited — must be united got a deal on ugly furniture.

This locations service isn’t great, but soooooooo much better than the one located at C7. If you have the time, come here instead!!!

There are three Red Carpet Club locations in the C/​D Concourses at Dulles International Airport. And of the three, this location is the one that needs a lot of attention and work.
It’s very run down, the walls, the paint, the carpet, the furniture — all very worn looking and in need of major maintenance.
When you enter the doors — there is no one sitting at the counter — instead there are signs instructing you to descend to the next level — which one can do via stairs or elevator — to then be greeted by the receptionist/​agent person.
I spent some time in here working on my MacBook Pro, had a complimentary tomato juice while I was here.
I can only assume when the new replacement C Terminal is built in the future, the quality of the Red Carpet Clubs will be vastly improved!
