The global reference for hospitality.
A celebrated private club reinvented as an elaborate, multi-room hospitality world on Berkeley Square. Martin Brudnizki's maximalist interiors make dining, drinking and socialising part of a continuous theatrical setting.
The Story
Origin
Founded by Mark Birley in 1963 at 44 Berkeley Square. A new incarnation opened nearby at 46 Berkeley Square in 2018 under Richard Caring's ownership.
Philosophy
Membership offers access to a complete social world rather than a single dining room or nightclub.
Why Important
A major reference for maximalist hospitality design and the reinvention of a historic members' club.
Differentiation
The breadth of its facilities is matched by an unusually elaborate and recognisable decorative identity.
Food Philosophy
Multiple dining settings support different occasions within the same club.
Guest Experience
Members move between restaurants, bars, garden spaces and late-night entertainment. Access is membership-led rather than ordinary public admission.
Design Philosophy
Botanical imagery, animals, antiques and saturated colour create distinct rooms within an enveloping fantasy.
Design & Architecture
Lighting
Ornamental chandeliers and intimate table lighting reinforce the club atmosphere.
Furniture
Antique and bespoke pieces are mixed rather than standardised.
Materials
Marble, silk, velvet, gilded details and decorative plasterwork.
Architecture
A Grade I-listed Georgian townhouse on Berkeley Square.
Design Language
Botanical maximalism and theatrical eclecticism.
Interior Design
Room-by-room fantasy environments combine antiques, bespoke decoration and richly patterned surfaces.
