The 72-year-old club completed a top-to-bottom overhaul late last year. See why it's extra-awesome these days.
Open the door to your home away from home.
An oasis in the heart of bustling Orchard, The American Club offers an exclusive getaway. Here, you can find everything you need under one roof, from dry cleaning to a good, old-fashioned burger; a serene spa; fun kids’ activities; beloved holiday events and much, much more.
Perhaps more importantly, though, its close-knit community of expats and locals make up a diverse, thriving culture with a uniquely American flair. Members form lasting friendships that span continents, all while receiving exemplary service from the award-winning staff.
And, in case you haven’t heard, The Club unveiled a much-anticipated renovation in late 2019, including its invitingly modern lobby and entrances, four restaurants and bar plus the family-friendly bowling alley, pool and kid-tastic play zones.
Entrepreneurs, bring your laptops to the stylish, fully equipped Thinkspace, and take advantage of flexible work stations, phone booths and private meeting rooms to build that business.
Whatever you need and want, you’ll find it here. Check out the gallery below and, even better, book a tour of The American Club for yourself! (Scroll down for details.)
