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.

**Ready to expand your horizons?** We invite you to learn more about the benefits of membership and how the Metropolitan Club can enhance your lifestyle, both at home and abroad.
