The exclusive Clermont Club will return to No. 44 Berkeley Square in London this summer. According to a news release, the Mayfair club will offer “a forward-thinking approach to gaming, hospitality and design.
First founded in 1962 by John Aspinall, the Clermont Club was part of the heart of swinging London and continued the tradition of 18th century aristocracy who gambled in the home of the first Earl of Clermont.
No.44 Berkeley Square is a hidden gem of Georgian architecture, where decadent design features by the eminent architect William Kent can still be admired today – from the sweeping staircase and Georgian mirrors to the neo-classical ceiling in the Grand Salon. Interiors by WISH Interior Architecture pay respect to the original architecture, while also pushing the leading edge of art and design by introducing contemporary Asian interiors to the period bones of the building. Occupying three floors, the club now accommodates six individually designed gaming rooms, a restaurant and a top-floor library for private gaming.
This Asian accent will extend to the restaurant where Italian-born Executive Chef, Arturo Granato has designed an à la carte Modern-European menu. Arturo will also oversee the design of additional Asian and Middle Eastern menus. Arturo joins the Clermont Club from Michelin-starred Club Gascon where he was previously Head Chef.

“We are excited to be a part of this new phase of the historic Clermont Club,” said Director of Gaming Dino Constantouris. “We are reimagining the future of the club, while setting new standards in hospitality, taste and luxury.”
