Room bookings: terms and conditions

These terms and conditions apply to all bedroom bookings for Soho House, whether made via our website, the SH.APP, by email, over the telephone or at reception. They contain important information about your stay and we kindly ask that you read these carefully. If there is anything you would like to discuss regarding your booking or these terms and conditions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Who we are

Soho House is a collection of global private members' clubs, hotels and restaurants. The Soho House entity responsible for your booking is the Soho House company with whom you make a reservation.

Your booking request

Your booking will not be complete until you receive a confirmation number from us, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

We require credit or debit card details from you to confirm your booking. Where you have reserved a ‘Prepaid’ room your card will be charged a deposit equivalent to the full stay rate when you make your reservation. Where you have made any other type of reservation, your card will be charged according to the terms of the rate policy unless one of the events specified below occurs, for example if you cancel your booking after the allotted time. For more details of how we will process your personal data and credit or debit card details for your reservation please see our privacy policy and the details set out on our booking engine.

To stay in our bedrooms, you’ll need to be able to present a valid photographic proof of identity (drivers’ licence, passport or national ID card) at check in, plus the debit or credit card used to make your booking. If you’re unable to produce either of these, your booking may be cancelled at short notice with no refund.

Changing or cancelling your booking

If you wish to make a change to your booking, please contact us using the details listed in the ‘How to Contact Us’ section above or you can amend your booking via the booking engine on our website or the SH.APP. We will let you know if the change is possible and will send you a confirmation email if the change is accepted.

We will do our best to avoid having to cancel your booking, however, where necessary, we reserve the right to cancel your booking at any time. In such circumstances, we will provide you with a full refund and we will have no further liability to you in relation to the cancellation.

Where your reservation includes the flexibility to cancel your reservation, unless you are staying at Babington House or Soho Beach House Miami (where you may cancel your booking up to 18:00 local time, seven days before your arrival date) or Soho Farmhouse (where you may cancel your booking up to 18:00 local time, 14 days before your arrival date), you may cancel your booking up to 18:00, local time two days before your arrival date (the 'Cancellation Deadline').

If we receive your cancellation request by no later than the applicable Cancellation Deadline, there will be no charge in relation to your cancellation. Any cancellation request we receive after the applicable Cancellation Deadline will be subject to a fee equivalent to the total cost of the stay in the room you had booked, including any VAT/applicable taxes in relation to that room charge. This cancellation fee will be charged to the card details you supplied to us at the time of making your booking. This cancellation fee will also apply if you fail to arrive for your stay at Soho House, and a prepaid reservation will incur the entire stay charge.

If you wish to cancel your booking, please contact us by using the information provided in the 'How to Contact Us' section above. Alternatively, you may also cancel your booking through the SH.APP. All cancellations (and any applicable charges/refunds) are subject to the Cancellation Deadline.

When using any equipment and facilities available at Soho House, you must take care to safeguard your own health and safety and that of other people, and you will be solely responsible for any loss or injury that you cause to yourself, other persons or to the equipment or facilities to the extent that it is caused through your unsafe or improper use of the equipment or facilities (including your use of them whilst under the influence of alcohol or medication) or your failure to advise Soho House staff of a medical condition relevant to your use of the equipment or facilities.

A 100 per cent cancellation charge will be incurred if you cancel any spa treatment, personal training session, studio class or hair, beauty or grooming appointment less than 24 hours local time prior to the time of the appointment.

Damage and loss

We provide a safe in each room for the storage of personal items and all reasonable efforts are made to provide a secure hotel environment. Nevertheless, the risk of theft, damage or loss of our guests’ personal possessions cannot be eliminated entirely and we strongly advise you against bringing valuable items such as jewellery or large amounts of cash to Soho House. Management reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse to store any personal property of guests.

We shall not be liable to any guest for any loss, damage or injury suffered by our guests or to their property. However, this does not exclude or limit in any way our liability where it would be unlawful to do so, and which includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence (or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors) and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Your personal information

We will use the personal information you provide to us in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Soho House trade marks

All guests shall not use the names, logos, colours, trademarks, service marks, photographs, trade dress, or other identifying features of Soho House (the 'Soho House Marks') without obtaining our specific prior written approval as to the specific use.

Guests expressly recognise that the Soho House Marks are the valid, unique and exclusive property of Soho House, its parent, affiliates and/or subsidiaries. Guests may not produce or create, or authorise others to produce or create, the Soho House Marks for any purpose whatsoever, including, but not limited to, in any communications, marketing, advertising or other promotional materials (including, but not limited to, brochures, flyers, invitations, and email messages) that utilise the Soho House Marks without our prior written consent.

Other important terms

Force majeure

Soho House will not be responsible and will not pay any compensation where we are preventing or delayed from performing our obligations due to an event beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to flood, pandemic, epidemic, a public health emergency, a governmental, regulatory authority, federal and or state mandated closure, earthquake, mechanical breakdown, IT failure, fire, adverse weather conditions, acts of terrorism, gas, water or other utilities.

We may transfer this agreement to someone else: We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force: Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later: If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in relation to these terms or your stay at Soho House in the English courts. If you live in another country in Europe, consumer law and regulation may mean that you can bring legal proceedings the country within Europe in which you reside. If you live in North America, consumer law and regulation may mean that you can bring legal proceedings in the State in which you reside.
