In 2004, the Gansevoort Hotel made waves in New York City’s Meatpacking District, predating The High Line’s revitalization efforts. The luxury hotel’s success paved the way for a complete neighborhood transformation, from warehouses to luxury apartments and trendy establishments. Now, two decades later, the visionary minds behind the Gansevoort Hotel have launched Seven24 Collective, a private membership club that offers a unique and exclusive experience for its members.
Seven24 Collective boasts a plethora of amenities, including a member-only cafe, co-working spaces, a fully-equipped gym, a rooftop terrace with stunning views, and access to the hotel’s rooftop pool and exclusive dining options. Lead designer Victor Alfaro has created a space that not only visually captivates members but also provides an immersive experience that encourages them to stay and socialize within the club.
Fostering Connections in a Post-Pandemic World
In light of the Surgeon General’s observations about the loneliness epidemic exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Seven24 Collective aims to provide a social environment where members can connect with like-minded individuals, form friendships, and explore new interests. The club’s 24-hour accessibility allows members to engage at their convenience, bridging the gap between work and social life.
Founders Michael Achenbaum and Sean Largotta bring their decades of experience in the hospitality industry to curate an exclusive and diverse club experience. Unlike traditional clubs, Seven24 Collective welcomes individuals from various backgrounds, fostering a vibrant community of professionals spanning different industries. The club’s diverse range of activities and programs, from fitness classes to art events, sets it apart from conventional social clubs.
With five membership tiers tailored to different age groups and family compositions, Seven24 Collective offers a flexible and inclusive membership structure. The club is currently accepting new members with a cap of 3000 individuals, ensuring an intimate and exclusive community. Annual membership rates start at $2,150, with initiation fees beginning at $350. Additionally, plans for a countryside retreat in Ulster County further showcase the club’s commitment to providing members with unique experiences beyond city limits.
As Seven24 Collective continues to grow and evolve, it represents a new paradigm in the realm of social clubs. By prioritizing inclusivity, innovation, and community building, the club offers a refreshing alternative to traditional clubs that may be perceived as outdated or exclusive. Its forward-thinking approach to membership, activities, and expansion plans signals a promising future for the social club scene, setting a new standard for what membership clubs can offer in the modern age.
