As the buzz around the opening of Soho House in Manchester continues to grow, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to visit one of their established locations and get a taste of what’s to come. So, I packed my bags and headed to the iconic DUMBO House in Brooklyn, New York.
Nestled in the trendy DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) neighborhood, this members-only club is a true gem. As soon as I stepped foot inside, I was instantly greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The stylish decor and friendly staff immediately made me feel at home.
One of the main highlights of DUMBO House is its stunning rooftop pool. As I made my way up to the top floor, I couldn’t help but admire the breathtaking views of the city skyline. The pool itself is nothing short of luxurious, with plenty of comfortable lounge chairs and cabanas to relax in while taking in the stunning views. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun.
But the rooftop pool is not the only feature that sets DUMBO House apart from other private clubs. The club also boasts multiple restaurants, each with its own unique ambiance and delectable menu. From cozy brunch spots to elegant fine dining experiences, there is something to suit every taste.
During my visit, I had the pleasure of dining at Cecconi’s, the club’s upscale Italian restaurant. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the service was impeccable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was top-notch. I was also impressed by the variety of vegetarian and vegan options available, catering to a diverse range of dietary preferences.
After indulging in a delicious meal, I decided to explore the rest of the club. I stumbled upon the cozy drawing room, which is the perfect spot to curl up with a book and a cup of coffee. The club also features a fully-equipped gym, a movie theater, and a spa, offering a range of treatments to help members relax and rejuvenate.
But what truly sets DUMBO House apart is its sense of community. The club hosts various events and activities, from movie nights to art exhibitions, providing the perfect opportunity for members to socialize and connect with one another. It’s a place where like-minded individuals can come together and form meaningful connections.
As I soaked up the vibrant atmosphere of DUMBO House, I couldn’t help but imagine what Soho House in Manchester would be like. If DUMBO House is anything to go by, I have no doubt that the Manchester location will be equally as impressive. With its rooftop pool and stunning city views, it’s sure to become the go-to spot for the city’s elite.
But beyond the luxurious amenities and stunning views, it’s the sense of community and camaraderie that truly sets Soho House apart. I left DUMBO House feeling inspired and excited for the upcoming opening in Manchester. It’s safe to say that the city is in for a treat with this new addition to its vibrant social scene.
As I bid farewell to DUMBO House, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the experience. It’s not every day that you get a glimpse into the world of Soho House, and I can confidently say that it lived up to all my expectations and more. Now, I eagerly await the opening of Soho House in Manchester, and I’m sure it will be a must-visit destination for all who appreciate luxury, community, and the best views in town.
