Receptionist, Hospitality ​/ Hotel ​/ Catering

In 1863, a group of artists, writers, and free thinkersgathered with a shared conviction: that the finest conversation, the boldestideas, and the warmest hospitality belonged together under one roof. Charles Dickens dined here. Whistler argued here. Rodin was inspired here.

At the heart of that life today are the people and spaces that bring our club to life every day. This is more than an operation — it isan environment where members connect, create, and return time and time againbecause something about it feels truly special.
