The Best New Members Clubs To Know About

Today’s members clubs are so much more than just exclusive places to hang out – you can exercise, co-work, attend a supper club and more. From venues in Mayfair with rooftop terraces to an impressive development in rural Oxfordshire, here are the latest launches to know about…
01

1 Warwick, Soho

Best For Djs & Events

On the corner of Brewer and Warwick Street, this is the most recent opening from Maslow’s, the group behind Fitzrovia’s Mortimer House. The building is an early 20th-century mansion laid out over six floors. It’s been restored with chic and relaxed interiors, vintage furniture and bespoke pieces. Members can dine at Yasmin, the year-round rooftop restaurant and bar whose menus are created by chef Tom Cenci. Then there’s the living room and den for relaxed working lunches and post-work drinks, and Nessa, a bistro and bar on the ground floor. Other facilities include lounges, private and shared workspaces, events spaces and a library with its own bar. Members can use the studio and gym for PT sessions or complimentary fitness classes, including barre, HIIT 45, TRX and Boxfit. 

Prices: Membership starts from £100 per month.

Estelle Manor, Oxfordshire

Best For Country Weekends

A sister property to Maison Estelle in Mayfair, Estelle Manor was created by Sharan Pasricha, the founder of Ennismore, the group behind Gleneagles in Scotland and the Hoxton hotels. This private country club in the small Oxfordshire village of Eynsham includes access to a Grade II-listed house and over 3,000 acres of beautiful parkland. There are 108 bedrooms and suites across the main house, two nearby buildings and the new Stables and Walled Garden buildings. Guests can also stay in woodland cottages and private houses on the estate – all of which have the grown-up and glamorous interiors you’d expect from Ennismore. Among some of the most impressive facilities on this list, there’s a riviera-inspired outdoor terrace with a 25m swimming pool and shaded sun beds, as well as four restaurants including the informal Brasserie for brunch and casual suppers. Elsewhere, you’ll find grand sitting rooms, and a clubhouse designed for all your needs – think workspaces, a café, a kids club and a gym with a Pilates studio. A George Northwood salon is also in the works. Later in the year, the venue will open the Roman-inspired Eynsham Baths, a spa with five pools, a bathing hall, thermal cabins and treatment rooms. 

Prices: Available on request.

Apollo’s Muse, Mayfair

Best For Dining

Apollo’s Muse is now open beneath Bacchanalia in Mayfair. In keeping with the restaurant’s opulent design and interiors, the space features one-of-a-kind pieces you’d expect to find in a museum, like 2,000-year-old Greek and Roman artworks, original sculptures and a marble ceiling. Members can choose from an extensive list of cocktails, champagnes and wine, including unique and rare vintages from the world’s best wineries, with a focus on Burgundy, Bordeaux and Barolo. Cocktails include the ‘Bacchanalia Martini’ featuring gin, olive oil and olive leaf essence; and the ‘Meteora’ with tequila, port, grapefruit, vanilla and champagne. Guests can enjoy these alongside a menu of decadent dishes created by Athinagoras Kostakos, like caviar jacket potatoes, ’nduja beef tartare cones, burrata tortellini and a special ‘Members Only BLT’. You’ll also have access to a private concierge to assist with any requests, and regular events including monthly wine dinners.

Prices: Annual membership costs £5,000, plus a joining fee of £1,750.
