Does Miami need another members-only spot? Debatable. We have our pick of beach clubs, waterfront hangouts with insane spas and even a high-priced option for people who enjoy eating top-quality sushi in private. (We get those people.) Yet the wide swath of exclusive venues you need to belong to for access still has room for more.
This fall, Soho House—the London-founded member’s only club for creatives—will open its second Miami location, bringing a cool urban hideaway to Edgewater, a stone’s throw away from Wynwood. Miami Pool House, as it's being called, will take over a former printing press-cum-private residence that’s been completely renovated to represent the Soho House’s signature shabby-chic aesthetic.
While this mainland outpost won’t have a beach like its predecessor, Soho Beach House, the house will feature a pool with lounge areas, a terrace restaurant, a club space and a cottage bar—plus laid-back workspaces where you can kick back with your laptop or host a meeting. You can also expect a killer art collection, not unlike other locations, but with considerably more community art given its proximity to Wynwood, Miami's street-art capital.
It’s been 12 years since Membership Collective Group Inc. (NYSE: MCG) first touched down in Miami Beach, opening new houses in Nashville, Austin and Los Angeles since then, among other locations around the world. Like the others, Miami Pool House will be accessible to members and their guests only. Here's hoping you don't get shut out.
