Shanghai American Club: Your Home Away From Home

Private club membership has for many years played a significant role in the social and professional life of executives residing overseas. The Shanghai American Club now plays a similar role by providing a venue where both business and personal relationships can be nurtured in an atmosphere of sophisticated elegance.

The character and warmth of the Club’s tasteful decor is reminiscent of traditional clubs throughout America. Handsome wood paneling, elegant leather chairs, plush fabrics and shimmering crystal chandeliers are just part of the luxurious surroundings which have been incorporated into the design. Custom carpets and fine arts from around the world also add substantially to the rich and stimulating ambience that our privileged Club Members have come to appreciate.

Shanghai has always prided itself on its sense of style and culture. As a Treaty Port at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, Shanghai evolved into one of the most cosmopolitan cities the world has ever known. A sprawling metropolis of over 13 million people, Shanghai boasts a rich cultural history and abundant commercial resources, vital for international trade and development. The gaiety and stylish architecture rightly earned the city, the title of “The Paris of the Orient”.

Since 1990, the Central Government has made significant investment in a wide range of infrastructure and economic developments to rebuild the city into new visions of its former glory, recreating a center of international trade, finance and culture.

Symbolizing the transformation of Shanghai into a city of the future, the Shanghai Bund International Tower rises to a height of 115 meters. With its prime location, the tower is neighbor to some of Shanghai’s most notable and well-respected financial institutions and was thoughtfully selected as the home of the Shanghai American Club.

Occupying the top floors of the tower, the Shanghai American Club offers breathtaking views of the city of Shanghai and the bustling Huangpu River directly below. The character and warmth of the Club’s tasteful decor is reminiscent of traditional clubs throughout America. Along with its hallmark attentive personal service, the Shanghai American Club is a veritable haven where Members can relax, conduct business and socialize in harmony with family, friends and clients.
