Soho House

Soho House is a chain of private members' clubs founded in London in 1995 and now operating Houses across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia. Each House combines club rooms, restaurants and bars with some combination of gyms, spas, pools, workspaces, screening rooms and bedrooms, and members book food, drink, rooms and events through the club's own app. Membership is sold in tiers: Every House, which admits a member to all Houses; Local House, restricted to the House nearest the member's home; Cities Without Houses, for people living in cities where the group has no site; and Under 27, a discounted rate applied when the applicant joins before 27 and retained until their thirtieth birthday. Separate Soho Friends and Soho Works products give lower-cost access to restaurants, bedrooms and workspaces. The group listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021 as Membership Collective Group, renamed itself Soho House & Co in 2023, and returned to private ownership in a US$2.7bn transaction that closed in January 2026.

仕組み

Applications are made online through the club's own portal, take roughly 15 minutes and require a photograph, card details and information on the applicant's occupation and interests. Successful applicants pay a one-off House Introduction Fee, which the club converts into member credit for food, drink and bedrooms, then pay quarterly or annually. Members book Houses, bedrooms, gyms and more than 2,400 monthly events through the Soho House app, and may bring up to three guests.

典型的な会員像

Members are drawn largely from film, television, music, art, design, fashion, media and adjacent creative businesses. The club publishes no income, net-worth or seniority test, and Wikipedia records that the club has publicly emphasised creativity over net worth and job title.

Soho House is the largest operator in this category by an order of magnitude, and its scale is also its central tension: after years of rapid growth the company stopped taking new members in New York, Los Angeles and London from 2024 in response to member complaints about crowding, while continuing to add members in newer cities. It is unusual among private clubs in publishing exact prices through an online calculator, which makes it one of the few benchmarks available for the sector. Prospective members should note that headline dues understate the cost: the introduction fee, local supplements at some Houses and separate charges for Soho Works and certain Malibu access are billed on top. The 2026 take-private removes the quarterly disclosure that until now made membership numbers verifiable.
