In the sprawling urban oasis that is Tokyo, a new property stands out. Sleek in design and loaded to the brim with modern touches, the new Soho House Tokyo is perhaps the enigmatic private members’ club’s most ambitious venue to date. But how does this new property manage to move the needle for the world’s most coveted club? What will attract the high-flyers and corporate travellers of the Japanese capital to step inside the fabled walls and make Soho House Tokyo their home? We take a quick look inside to find out.

Hidden away in the leafy tree-lined avenues of Omotesando, the new Soho House Tokyo offers a signature sense of mystique and luxury. Surrounded by boutique-lined streets and high-fashion storefronts on either side, the newest private members’ club is designed for lifestyle immersion. Guests here will be able to enjoy world-class shopping, award-winning restaurants and some of the finest cafés anywhere in the world.

However, that’s not exactly why you sign up.

For most members, of which there are reportedly now over 200,000 globally, access to Soho House offers a rare escape from the outside world and a place for meaningful connection with like-minded people. Of course, within that comes great design and hotel-level amenities as standard; such is the expectation when it comes to members’ clubs. Soho House Tokyo is no exception.

Design

The latest club spans a whopping 75,000 square feet, with 42 stunning rooms spread across two dedicated floors. Here, guests can eat, drink and work in supreme comfort, only breaking their focus for a trip to the gigantic wellness centre or the rooftop pool and terrace. Those aspects are where the new venue really comes to life, employing a design that evokes a deliberate juxtaposition of East and West influences.

In many ways, Soho House Tokyo is an exploration of Japanese discipline and considered spatial restraint. Nowhere is this better personified than at the entrance. The venue’s striking reception desk was reportedly crafted from Kyoto lacquer by Makino Urushi, introducing a material tradition that carries centuries of cultural significance. Additionally, you’ll find walls finished with handmade washi paper by KamisM that offer a tactile foil to the heavier textures that Soho House is traditionally known for.

In each of the 42 guest rooms, it’s a familiar story. The interiors are highlighted by uniquely patterned parquet flooring that draws inspiration from tatami layouts, while the soft furnishings fuse upcycled vintage kimono fabrics with functional elements to create a vivid interplay of culture and style.

”Spread across four floors, the design throughout the House is rooted in the culture of the city and draws on Japan’s rich heritage of artisanal craft,” Soho House wrote. ”With club space for eating and drinking, and areas for coworking, as well as regular member events – from House Jazz to House Tonic – there’s also an infinity-style outdoor pool with views across the city, and a Wellness Studio that holds a daily programme of fitness classes.”

Perhaps the most defining feature of the new Soho House Tokyo is the rooftop terrace. Perched 14 storeys above the ground, the space plays host to a remarkable 4,000-square-foot infinity-style pool that offers panoramic views of the neighbouring Tokyo Tower and the iconic Mount Fuji. Best of all, the design keeps things traditional, utilising bespoke indigo and white tiles produced in Gifu using traditional techniques associated with Tajimi ceramics.

Eat and Drink

As the birthplace of some of the world’s most celebrated cuisines, Japan is no stranger to fine dining. For its latest outpost, Soho House opted not to compete with the traditional favourites but rather, to work collaboratively. Soho House Tokyo is structured around a hybrid dining offering that blends European comfort food with Japanese culinary techniques.

The House Brasserie and Club spaces serve as primary dining venues, with guests invited to try favourites from around the world, including Japanese-inspired dishes like Donburi Rice Bowls and an Okonomiyaki-Style Prawn Scotch Egg. On the thirteenth floor, you’ll find the House Brasserie, a modern British restaurant serving dishes made using seasonal Japanese ingredients.

Soho House Tokyo Opening

Soho House Tokyo officially opened on 7 April 2026, kicking off with a programme of events that ranged from DJ sets and tastings to the House’s very first In Conversation. The opening event saw members enjoy a saké tasting with one of Kyoto’s oldest saké breweries, Tsukino Katsura, alongside a late-night ramen pop-up by Menya Inoichi.

What’s Next For Soho House?

With properties in London, Paris, Amsterdam and New York City, Soho House has established itself as one of the world’s most interesting and exclusive private members’ clubs. Since its inception in 1995, the business has steadily grown, but in recent years, expansion has certainly ramped up, with the number of houses swelling to 49 in 20 countries.

In December 2025, the organisation outlined plans to tackle the US, Europe and Asia, announcing that in addition to the first-ever House in Japan, two more properties would arrive before the end of 2026. That came off the back of a massive deal that saw Soho House return to private ownership in a deal worth a whopping USD$2.7 billion. The announcement, which coincided with the company’s 30th anniversary, saw New York-based MCR Hotels take hold of new equity investment opportunities with the overarching goal of world-domination. Soho House Tokyo was the first major project and with a successful launch now officially complete, the organisation is set to turn its sights to New York.

This year, the Soho Farmhouse in Rhinebeck, New York will reportedly open, giving guests access to a 250-acre property set on a former working farm. Blending nature and experiences, the Farmhouse features restored 19th-century buildings anchored by a historic manor house. It will include bedrooms, various food and drink outlets, plus hiking, cycling, and spa and wellness offerings. Later in the year, Soho House Los Cabos will open offering members’ club spaces, a Soho Health Club with a pool, a Cecconi’s, a Sunset and Cabaret Bar, plus 15 rooms.

As for the long-awaited Soho House Australia launch, fans will have to wait a little longer. At present, the project is still in development, with the organisation previously outlining a 2027 launch for both Soho House Sydney and Soho House Melbourne.
