The Sloane Club is a private members’ club located in Chelsea with a membership base of c. 2,700. The Club began in 1922 as a residence for ladies in the armed forces, welcoming gentlemen, civilian ladies and families in 1976, celebrating its traditional British heritage.
The Club offers Members access to bedrooms, food & beverage, event spaces, a workspace, meeting rooms and opportunities to engage with other Members through an events calendar. The clientele is older, price sensitive and predominantly using the Club to access discounted bedroom rates.
In 2017, The Sloane Club was acquired by Queensway together with Clearbell with a view to significantly changing the brand, member demographic and experience and becoming one of London’s leading private members clubs and a scalable lifestyle brand.
Our research has shown us there is a clear gap in the market for a club in Chelsea that honours all the component parts of an individual’s life and facilitates the convergent lifestyle.
A major redevelopment is currently underway, with the first phase due to complete in March 2025. The business is remaining operational throughout the redevelopment. The Club upgrade includes a full renovation of the interiors as well as the introduction of improved facilities such as a wellness offering, private meeting and events spaces, workspace, refurbished bedrooms and enhanced restaurants and bars including a roof terrace and retail unit. The renovations are being carried out under the creative direction of Russell Sage Studio.
We believe that after we have made an investment in upgrading the experience, we will have the power to significantly drive subscriptions, rooms and F&B revenue from Members and non-members across The Sloane Club and Sloane Place boutique hotel.
The Sloane Place F&B outlet has c.60 covers and a small basement bar. Serviced from the same kitchen as the Club, we believe Sloane Place can become a popular neighbourhood restaurant for Members, locals and visitors alike.
