Harrods launches ultra-luxury private members’ club in Shanghai

Harrods, the world's leading luxury department store, is branching out of London and the retail space, taking on Shanghai with its global first private members’ club named The Residence.

Set to launch at the end of 2023, only 250 members will be accepted to join The Residence. Additional members may be considered following peer nominations. There will be three tiers of membership, starting from £15,987 (150,000 RMB) per annum.

Membership will be granted automatic access to Black Tier status with Harrods Rewards and associated benefits in London such as the private shopping services at the Knightsbridge store.

Located in Cha House in the heart of the city, The Residence will epitomise Harrods’ quintessential British luxury. The detination, which will offer the finest hospitality for an exclusive membership community, is home to world-class dining from none other than the celebrated British Chef Gordon Ramsay.

‘Gordon Ramsay at The Residence Shanghai’ will offer elevated British dining and will be inspired by the social nature of the club.

The Residence will also provide members with some of the world’s rarest and most exclusive beverages, such as an unrivalled whisky collection,  through a partnership with Edrington Group.

Michael Ward, Managing Director, Harrods: "The Residence is Harrods’ very first private members’ club and is being created to serve a curated community of discerning members.

"Membership is a unique proposition in Shanghai, offering not only world-class dining and spirits with a like-minded network but also unlocking exclusive Harrods international lifestyle and concierge services to create unparalleled experiences for every member."
