THE BIG LONDON OPENING:

Celeste, Notting Hill

THE STORY: First came ultra-luxe members’ club Maison Estelle on Grafton Street, followed the group’s Cotswolds hotel, Estelle Manor. This spring, Estelle will open a second London members’ club, this time in Notting Hill. Set inside a restored townhouse on Ledbury Road – formerly home to celebrity hotspot Beach Blanket Babylon – Celeste feels like the natural next step in the evolution of the Estelle community. It’s conceived as a neighbourhood home with a destination restaurant, blending the intimacy of a private house with the atmosphere of a destination opening.

THE FACILITIES: The ground floor will house a public Italian-American restaurant, while the first floor is reserved for members – an atmospheric bar inspired by Tokyo’s listening rooms. Upstairs, a second members-only restaurant takes cues from Japanese izakaya, offering a more intimate dining experience. At the top of the townhouse sits The Apartment, a cosy, private space designed for small gatherings and late-night soirées. Across the building, the design is unmistakably Estelle: elegant, tactile and luxurious.

THE EXTRAS: All the details are under wraps for now, but we know that members can expect a full calendar of programming, from supper clubs and parties to talks designed to spark. As with its sister properties, the focus is on community – thoughtful hosting, good food and spaces that feel lived-in rather than overly formal.

THE DETAILS: Membership applications are now open. Prices available on request.

THE SW-LONDON OPENING:

Lighthouse Social, Fulham

THE STORY: Fulham’s finally got its own members' club – and it’s not trying to be Mayfair in a new postcode. Part of the new Fulham Pier development (home to chef Adam Byatt’s latest project, Brasserie Constance, as well as new Fulham FC hospitality experiences) Lighthouse Social overlooks the Thames with panoramic views and a laidback vibe that feels like a cool friend’s townhouse. It opened quietly this summer and is already drawing a crowd of west London creatives, locals and, of course, Fulham fans, who want somewhere to work and decompress without crossing town. Behind the scenes, Jamie Caring (son of Richard, who’s behind Bacchanalia and Scott’s, to name a few) has helped shape the club’s ethos, steering it away from exclusivity and toward something more community minded. 

THE FACILITIES: It’s big – 10,000 sq ft inside, 2,000 sq ft outside – with 21 spaces across two floors. There’s a screening room, co-working lounges, a rooftop terrace with 360° river views and a crèche for members with kids. The rooftop bar is already earning a reputation for DJ sets and sundowners, and the club’s location means you can arrive by boat, or leave one parked, if that’s your vibe. 

THE EXTRAS: Food is a big draw. The menu reimagines timeless club classics with an Asian twist. Cultural programming is refreshingly offbeat: you can get involved in PT sessions on the pier, join the run club, attend book launches and more. There’s also a ‘tastemaker series’ curated by Charlie Teasdale (ex-Esquire style director). 

THE DETAILS: Annual membership starts at £780 for under-30s and £1,200 for full members.

Long Lane

THE WELLNESS DESTINATION:

Long Lane, West Sussex

THE STORY: Ex-Wall Street financier Harrison Hide and entrepreneur Louie Blake have taken on the mammoth task of turning a 55-acre estate in the South Downs into a luxury wellness hotel and members' club – and they’re documenting the whole process on social media. Fed up with the usual club formula, the duo is building Long Lane as an alcohol-free space. Their mission? Kill burnout culture, treat rest like training and back it all up with cutting-edge kit. 

THE FACILITIES: Forget minibars and spa-lite offerings. Long Lane’s 30 rooms – including ten forest cabins – will have EightSleep mattresses, red-light therapy panels and IV drips. The Coach House is the high-energy hub, housing a Hyrox-level gym, cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and contrast bathing. Over at ‘The Farm’ there’s a natural swimming pool, forest treatment pods and woodland trails, while the interiors – designed by wellness studio Szczepaniak Teh – are toxin free and circadian aligned. 

THE EXTRAS: Long Lane’s cultural programming is as considered as its clinical treatments. Expect woodland sound healing, visiting practitioners, art exhibitions and talks from leading thinkers. The food also sounds impressive: the world’s first ‘precision nutrition’ restaurant will use biometric data to tailor menus, supported by regenerative farming and an onsite herbal distillery. Adaptogenic cocktails replace the usual drinks list, while phone-free zones will encourage off-grid downtime. 

THE DETAILS: In Midhurst, West Sussex – just an hour from London – Long Lane open is scheduled to open in spring. Rooms start from £350 a night. Memberships range from £100 to £500 per month, with options including full access to the Longevity programme.

THE ARTSY & NATURE ESCAPE:

Crafted at Powdermills, East Sussex

THE STORY: With Crafted, entrepreneur Chris King is building a network of hotels and clubs to help people ditch autopilot and reconnect with the good stuff – nature, creativity and proper downtime. The first outpost opens later this year near Hastings. It’s built around a private lake, surrounded by ancient woods and wildflower meadows, offering everything from cold-water dips to creative workshops.  

THE FACILITIES: Set in a Grade II-listed Georgian house, the hotel will have 55 rooms, three private cottages and, of course, a members’ club. There’s a pub, restaurant, cocktail bar, and two dedicated creative spaces – the Craft Barn and Art Studio – where you can try pottery, print-making and other arts and crafts classes. Outside, there’s paddleboarding, kayaking, yoga in the forest and saunas on the lake’s edge. The Lake House cottage even has its own pool and deck onto the water – ideal for group trips or company away days. 

THE EXTRAS: Food will be seasonal and mostly British, sourced from Sussex’s coast and Kent’s orchards, with a goal of 75% local provenance. The pull will serve English beers, wines and cocktails. There will be an open grill and a wood-fired oven outside, and a soon-to-be-announced exec chef heading up the restaurant. Membership details are still under wraps, but the club promises to blend wellness, work and play. 

THE DETAILS: Membership costs £180 per month (with annual membership discounts), with a minimum 12-month commitment. There’s also a £250 joining fee.

Crafted

THE EAST LONDON HOTSPOT:

Aethos, Shoreditch

THE STORY: Boutique hospitality brand Aethos has landed in east London. Joining numerous outposts across the Med, its latest project is taking over the former Nobu hotel site in Shoreditch this month, bringing with it a new kind of members club. Less velvet rope, more open invitation, Aethos is built for those after connection, creativity and culture that goes beyond the bar. Think art tours, city farm field trips, omakase dinners and more. 

THE FACILITIES: The 164-room hotel has been redesigned by Barcelona’s Astet Studio, with interiors that nod to Shoreditch’s industrial roots. A compact spa and high-performance training studio deliver longevity-focused treatments and cutting-edge tech, while the new Japanese dining concept is set to win over locals still mourning the loss of Nobu. Members also get access to lounges, meeting spaces and a regularly rotating social calendar. 

THE EXTRAS: You might’ve seen the brand’s cryptic billboard on Shoreditch High Street. It’s a teaser for what’s to come: spontaneous dinners, secret drinks and pop-up experiences. Cultural programming is built around four pillars: The Table, The Mix, Wellness Rituals and Off Grid, with everything from intimate dinners and pre-carnival rum parties to binaural soundscapes. 

THE DETAILS: Memberships start from €650 per year. Rooms from £250 per night.

THE REVAMP:

The Sloane Club, Chelsea

THE STORY: The Sloane Club has been part of Chelsea’s fabric since the 1920s but this month it’s stepping into a new era. After a full-scale renovation and rebrand, the historic club will reopen with a fresh identity and new spaces. The bones are still classic, but, if the first-look images are anything to go by, the vibe will be sharper, more social and built for modern Londoners. 

THE FACILITIES: The club now houses 56 refurbished bedrooms and ten suites, an updated wellness suite, and a handful of new spaces that feel more like a boutique hotel than a legacy institution. There’s Helena’s, an all-day restaurant; Demob, an atmospheric looking cocktail bar; and the Lady in Black, a private dining room. Brand new is Lila, a restaurant and bar under a retractable glass roof, surrounded by greenery and designed to host everything from business lunches to weekend events. 

THE EXTRAS: Cultural programming is being dialled up, with a new calendar of talks, tastings and member events. Whether you’re checking in for a night or dropping by for a drink, the new Sloane Club pays homage to the club’s historic roots – just with better lighting and a stronger cocktail list. 

THE DETAILS: Membership and booking details available on request.

Pavilion Club

THE FLAGSHIP:

Pavilion Club, Knightsbridge

THE STORY: Pavilion Club has been steadily building a presence across London, but its Knightsbridge flagship remains the clearest expression of what the group does best: a blend of luxury workspace, private members’ facilities and considered hospitality. Set inside a grand period building at 64 Knightsbridge – originally built for the London & County Bank in 1884 – the space has been fully reimagined as a multifunctional hub for working, meeting and socialising. The location alone makes it a draw, but the atmosphere is what sets it apart: polished, design-led and geared towards members who want a central base that feels both professional and sociable.

THE FACILITIES: Spread across four floors, the club includes co-working areas, private offices, meeting rooms and a library for hot-desking. There’s a striking 360° atrium bar, a new mezzanine level, and a roof terrace overlooking Hyde Park – one of the best spots in the building. The all-day dining menu covers everything from breakfast to dinner, with dishes such as seabass ceviche, Isle of Wight tomato tart and aged rib-eye. Members also have access to Pavilion’s Kensington and City outposts, each with their own lounges, workspaces and evening programming.

THE EXTRAS: Membership unlocks a full calendar of events – cocktail clubs, live music, DJ sets, poetry evenings and panel discussions – plus, a roster of perks across fashion, wellness, travel and lifestyle. Think discounts with 111Skin, The Mandarin Oriental Spa, Wilderness Reserve and Larry King. 

THE DETAILS: Membership starts from £350 per month, with a £1,000 joining fee.
