A Haven of Refinement
July/August 2021
East Meets West in The Lounge Continuing on our reveal of “hidden gems” throughout the new Club, this month’s cover showcases antique Chinese Bronze Sculptures, which are displayed in The Lounge. Juxtaposed among more modern art pieces and furnishings, these sculptures make a lasting impression among The Lounge’s discerning Members and guests. A intimate space with elegant, cosy seating, exquisite artwork and ambient lighting, The Lounge has quickly become a favourite destination for Members’ amiable gatherings — from power breakfasts and lunches to afternoon tea and evening aperitifs.
