So you wanna be a Chicago Soho House social butterfly? Let's talk moolah.
Ah, Soho House Chicago. The land of rooftop pools, fancy cocktails, and enough velvet to make Liberace blush. But before you channel your inner Gatsby and dust off your monocle (monocle not included, sorry!), there's a little hurdle to navigate: the cost.
The Membership Breakdown: Buckle Up, Buttercup
Soho House operates on a membership system, kind of like a fancy gym with better lighting and way more interesting gossip. Here's the skinny on what it'll set you back:
-
The Classic Soho House Membership: Consider this your general admission ticket. This gets you access to the club spaces, events, gym, and that rooftop pool you've been dreaming of. Price tag? Starts at $612.50 per quarter. Ouch. But hey, at least you can brag to your friends about rubbing elbows with industry titans (or at least people who look like they might be industry titans).
-
Under 27 Membership: Calling all cool kids! Soho House offers a discount for the young and restless (and hopefully, well-employed). This one starts at $306.35 per quarter. Just be prepared to explain all those vintage band tees to the venture capitalists.
-
All Access Membership: For the jet-setters who collect frequent flyer miles like Pokémon cards. This premium option grants you entry to all the Soho Houses around the world. We're talking London, Berlin, even Mumbai, baby! Price? Well, let's just say it involves tears, a small loan from a one-legged man, and your firstborn child. (Okay, maybe not the child, but it's definitely on the pricier side).
Wait, There's More! (Because Apparently Soho House Likes Options)
So maybe the full membership isn't quite in your budget (who can blame you, avocado toast is expensive these days). But fear not, grasshopper! Soho House offers a few other ways to experience the magic (without completely emptying your bank account):
-
Hotel Stays: Live like a Soho House high roller, even if it's just for a night or two. They have swanky hotel rooms available, complete with access to the rooftop pool (because what's a staycation without a fancy pool?). Prices vary depending on the room and the season, but expect to spend at least a pretty penny.
-
The Spa (Open to the Public!): Treat yourself to a little pampering, even if you're not a member. The Soho House spa, aka Cowshed, is open to everyone. Get a massage, a facial, or maybe just a fancy haircut. It's a great way to experience a bit of the Soho House luxury without the commitment (or the cost) of a membership.
So, How Much is Soho House Chicago Really?
Well, that depends. Are you a high-flying investor or a freelance writer with a penchant for ramen noodles? Either way, there's probably a way to experience a slice of the Soho House pie. Just remember, it might involve some budgeting creativity (or a very generous friend).
