As 2010 gets under way, there are a few nightclubs that promise to be the really outstanding highlights of the year. Here are some that we recommend you check out as soon as possible, and, if you’re lucky enough to be a Quintessentially member, there are some amazing offers and benefits – contact clubs@quintessentially.com to arrange your visit.
Aura – www.aura-mayfair.com – was recently bought by new owners and has recently re-opened with a completely new look. They have retained the name as they want to bring back the glory days from its first opening six years ago. It’s an intimate members club set in the heart of Mayfair, and also offers a superb restaurant. Quintessentially members get preferential treatment and free entry when pre-booked.
Whisky Mist – www.whiskymist.com During Christmas it underwent an extensive facelift, all on the orders of the legendary designer, Kelly Hoppen. All Quintessentially members will receive a complimentary round of shots on arrival when they book a table.
Boujis – www.boujis.com The infamous Boujis has finally had a revamp after seven years, bringing it into 2010 with a bang. The club is looking slick and stylist and the royals have already given it their seal of approval. Quintessentially members are given VIP treatment and free entry when it’s organised in advance.
Maddox – www.maddoxclub.com Arguably one of London’s most exclusive and successful members nightclubs, Maddox closed for two weeks over Christmas for a refurbishment. They still offer a stylish restaurant and club destination. Quintessentially members get priority table bookings.
Merah – www.merahclub.com Formerly known as Crystal Club, Merah is a sophisticated nightclub that boasts lavish and bespoke interiors. They have a dream team of staff flown over from St Tropez and often host the hottest DJs from around the world. Quintessentially members get priority table bookings.
Supper Club – www.supperclub.com The Supper Club has already established destination venues in the likes of Amsterdam, LA and Singapore, and now bring their painfully hip, fashion-centric brand to West London, taking over the old Neighbourhood club space just off Portobello Road. Set over two levels, there’s a central dance floor area on the ground floor. Upstairs is the best spot in the house – the balconies allow you to lean over and observe all the goings on below. We suggest you book for a supper at 8.15pm (they only have one sitting) and enjoy a two hour, four course surprise menu whilst watching wild and wacky entertainment. Quintessentially members get VIP treatment.
Maggie’s – April 2010 will see the opening of Maggie’s, a super cool 80s revival club on the Fulham Road with kitsch cocktails, Rubick’s cube tables and stuffed full of amazing 80s memorabilia. The owners have Kitt’s club and Bart’s bar under their belts and will no doubt continue to impress Chelsea, with their unpretentious, simple, but fun establishments. Quintessentially members will be granted free entry on presentation of their card and given priority bookings.
Luxx Club – www.luxx-london.com Set to open on 19th February on New Burlington Street, Mayfair. They promise to provide London’s elite with outstanding décor and service in the club, which will be open from 6pm to 4am including a private smoking garden. Guests will be able to order food until 3am, which is almost unheard of in Mayfair. They intend for the bar lounge to have a relaxed atmosphere for those who want to avoid a club atmosphere. Quintessentially members will be granted VIP treatment and preferential entry.
