Your Key to the World: The Metropolitan Club’s Global Passport

At the Metropolitan Club of San Francisco, we believe your community should travel with you. While our historic clubhouse on Nob Hill is a beloved "home away from home," one of the most prestigious benefits of membership is the Global Passport—a gateway to an elite network of over 125 reciprocal clubs around the world.

Whether you are closing a deal in London, vacationing in New York, or exploring the harbor in Sydney, your membership ensures you are never a stranger. You gain exclusive access to private overnight accommodations, world-class dining, and elite athletic facilities, maintaining a consistent standard of luxury wherever your journey takes you.

To give you a glimpse of the doors your membership can open, we are highlighting two of our most iconic partner clubs in Paris and Philadelphia.

Paris: The Art of Living at Cercle de l’Union Interalliée

For those drawn to the elegance of the "City of Light," the Cercle de l’Union Interalliée is a treasure of peaceful opulence. Situated in the heart of Paris, this club is the pinnacle of French-style fine living.

While the Interalliée is a daytime sanctuary rather than an overnight residence, it is a magnificent venue for entertaining. Members can host guests in the grand ballroom or find a moment of Zen in the private gardens and balconies designed for quiet reflection.

• The Experience: The formal dining is nothing short of superb, and the bar area offers a delightful setting for a mid-afternoon tea or coffee.
• The Concierge: The gracious staff goes beyond the club walls, offering bespoke concierge services to help you navigate excursions throughout the city.

It is a "must-see" destination for any member looking to experience the true soul of Paris.

Philadelphia: A Legacy of Grandeur at The Union League

If your travels bring you to the East Coast, The Union League of Philadelphia offers a stay steeped in American tradition. Nestled in the heart of Center City, the League House was built in 1865 and serves as a living museum, surrounded by a phenomenal collection of art and historical artifacts.

For members seeking a refined place to stay, The Inn at the League offers 70 beautifully appointed rooms and 13 spacious suites that blend historic charm with modern comfort.

One of our members recently shared their experience:

"I found the staff to be exceptionally gracious and the food of the highest quality. The rooms are well-appointed with incredibly comfortable beds, and the history and artwork throughout the building provided a marvelous diversion."

With 22,000 square feet of event space across 14 unique rooms, it is the perfect "base camp" for both business and celebration in the City of Brotherly Love.

Where Will Your Membership Take You?

The Metropolitan Club is more than a local social hub; it is your entry point into a global sisterhood of excellence. From historic European estates to modern metropolitan high-rises, our reciprocal network ensures that the world is always open to you.
