}}Soho House is a hotel chain [1] and group of private members' clubs originally aimed at those in the arts and media, but more recently expanded to include those with a 'creative soul'.[2] The original location is at 40 Greek Street, Soho, London. The company now operates clubs, hotels and venues around the world, and in 2015 changed from SOHO House Group to Soho House & Co.[3] Membership is selective and members are drawn mainly from the media, arts and fashion industries.[4][5]

History & Ownership

Nick Jones (Soho House founder and previous managing director) sold 80% of the club to British high-street tycoon Richard Caring in 2008.[6] On 13 January 2012 the Financial Times announced that 60% of Soho House Group had been acquired by the US billionaire Ron Burkle, through his investment fund Yucaipa for approx. £250m, with founder Nick Jones retaining 10% and Richard Caring (Caprice Holdings) 30%, however, in September 2015 the company’s high leverage and limited free cashflow was under scrutiny by fixed income investors.[7][3][8] However, company profit potential has been affected by growth in new clubs.[9]

Clubs (Private)

In July 2018, Soho House held 23 clubs worldwide.

Membership

Soho House membership policies focus on creativity "above net worth and job titles" with "studied resistance to ostentation...[and] cultivated status signifiers," and favour moral values over financial success ("several execs were banned because they were thought to be abusive to their assistants")[12] In June 2015, Soho House had over 50,000 members and a global waiting list of over 30,000.[8]

In popular culture

Soho House New York was featured in season 6 of the TV Series Sex and the City in an episode titled "Boy Interrupted". In this episode, Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) pretends to be a member by using a stolen membership card.[13]

On 16 August 2017, the film Tulip Fever (starring Alicia Vikander) was first screened at London's Soho House.[14]

Controversies

In 2009, more than 80 residents signed an appeal by a neighborhood association against allowing Soho House to move into the top two floors of Luckman Plaza in West Hollywood, near Los Angeles. The opening of the West Hollywood location also drew opposition from Beverly Hills Mayor Nancy Krasne.[15]

In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, an attempt to open a new club also meets fierce protests.[16] An Amsterdam House opened nonetheless in August 2018 [https://www.dezeen.com/2018/08/02/soho-house-bungehuis-amsterdam-interiors/], as well as a second house in Barcelona [https://en.vogue.fr/lifestyle/travel/diaporama/soho-house-barcelona-garraf-little-beach-house-new-hotel-opening/52269].
