Soho House Istanbul is the ideal base from which to explore the ancient and vibrant metropolis.

2. Best for nightlife: Soho Beach House Miami


When it comes to sun-drenched getaways, Soho Beach House Miami is the ultimate go big or go home. Located in a restored historic Sovereign Hotel dating back to the 1940s, the design of the House is inspired by the Cuban Art Deco heritage of the era. It’s all about merging the indoor and outdoor: expansive spaces flowing from street-facing entry to the pool, garden, and ocean. The bedrooms feature tiled floors, leather armchairs and raw concrete beams softened with patterned textiles and jewel-toned velvet sofas. And in the Ocean rooms, you’ll find floor to ceiling windows and large terraces with sea views. Rooftop sunsets are a must: Ocho on the eighth floor has a bar and plunge pool to round off the experience.

4. Best for art spotting: Holloway House, Los Angeles


Opened in 2022, Holloway House is our third members’ club in Los Angeles – but it’s a truly special one. It offers an escape into the world inspired by LA’s mid-century art scene. The interior draws from the Southern California landscape and the art movement in the 1950s and 1960s, including artists such as Ed Ruscha and David Hockney. Imbued with warm tones of sand and stone, as well as bright accents of burgundy leather, the environment is both inspiring and calming.
