London’s Hottest Private Members Club Lands In New York

For months, rumors have been circulating in New York that some of London’s trendiest private member clubs were eyeing Manhattan — the first to debut is The Twenty Two. This fall, the establishment will open its doors in Union Square as the iconic Mayfair establishment’s second-ever location.

Set in the historic Margaret Louisa Home, this nine-story sanctuary seamlessly blends the opulence of a hotel and the allure of a restaurant with the exclusivity of a private members club. It’s a five-star luxury experience with a twist of laid-back charm — no white gloves required. The legacy of warmth and connection that began over a century ago in the Margaret Louisa Home is continued at The Twenty Two, where designers Alexy Kos and Che Huang of Child Studio have infused the property with a fresh, contemporary vibe.

Located at 16 E 16^th Street, the 80,000-square-foot property features 77 rooms, including 17 suites and a rooftop penthouse with breathtaking city views. The second floor is reserved for private members, while the ground floor will serve as a public all-day dining space. Leading the culinary offerings are Jennifer and Nicole Vitagliano, the duo behind New York favorites Raf’s and the Michelin-starred The Musket Room, along with executive chef Mary Attea and pastry chef Camari Mick. Their collective talents ensure a dining experience as exceptional as the surroundings.

The Twenty Two New York is the brainchild of Navid Mirtorabi and Jamie Reuben, co-founders of the London property, in partnership with real estate developer and New Yorker Michael Chetrit. Together, they aim to create a bridge between the vibrant communities of London and New York — two sister cities that share a creative and curious spirit.

“Our vision for this property is to blur the social lines that we’ve grown accustomed to. People have become so used to going to the same places and seeing the same people repeatedly. Something we’ve successfully done in London is to have a truly dynamic clientele/member. [We are] mixing young and old from all different walks of life and industries. It creates a different environment on any given day or night,” says Chetrit, leaving us wanting more.
