San Vicente Bungalows

San Vicente Bungalows is a private members' club in West Hollywood, created by the hotelier Jeff Klein from the former San Vicente Inn, which he bought in 2013 and reopened as a club in late 2018. It has since become the founding site of San Vicente Clubs, which operates three clubs under one membership: the original bungalows at 845 North San Vicente Boulevard, SV Santa Monica at 1401 Ocean Avenue, and SV West Village at 115 Jane Street in New York. Admission is by nomination only: a candidate cannot apply without being put forward by an existing member, and applications are reviewed monthly by a membership committee. The club is notably strict on privacy and access. Photography is banned anywhere inside the club, guests have stickers placed over their phone cameras at the front desk, members are told not to discuss anything they witness, and non-members are not permitted to tour the property. Memberships are non-transferable and cannot be used by a partner. A published dress code and detailed guest rules apply throughout.

仕組み

An existing member submits a nomination through the SV app, the website portal or the membership team, which triggers an application to the candidate. Applications are evaluated monthly by the membership committee. Applicants who hear nothing within six weeks are waitlisted; the club advises them to seek further nominations rather than chase for updates, and says multiple nominations significantly improve the chance of admission. Members may bring up to three guests, must register them in advance, must stay with them and must leave with them.

The club publishes nothing about its membership. Reporting since its 2018 opening has associated it with the Los Angeles entertainment industry; The New York Times described it in February 2019 as Hollywood's new clubhouse.

San Vicente is the most closed club in this group and the most explicit about it. There is no public application route, no tours, no published pricing, no member count and no description of the kind of person it wants; the only published mechanism is a nomination from an existing member, and the club states plainly that multiple nominations improve the odds. Its rules go further than the usual no-photography line: guests' phone cameras are physically stickered, and members are told it is forbidden to discuss what they see. That opacity means almost nothing about cost or scale can be verified from outside, and the fee rows below are empty rather than estimated. The expansion into Santa Monica and New York is recent enough that reference sources still describe San Vicente as a single West Hollywood club.
