They’re not hotels. They’re not restaurants. And they’re definitely not co-working spaces. Members’ clubs are micro-universes. Curated worlds where lifestyle meets identity. Where access offers far more than a reserved table.

On the surface, they might look like a chic mix of dining, nightlife, and boutique hospitality. But they’re much more than that. Members’ clubs are modern temples of belonging. Cities like New York and London already treat them as essential. Milan has started to embrace the world of members’ clubs. But Florence also has something to say on the subject.

From Old Boys’ Rooms to Creative Hubs

Once, clubs were stiff and formal. Pinstriped industrialists. Aristocrats fresh from Saint Moritz. Dusty lounges.

Today, they’ve reinvented themselves. Social accelerators for a new creative class. Digital founders, artists, curators, celebrities, models, visionaries.

Bright idea? Sharp style? A well-mixed Negroni Sbagliato? You’re already in the door. From White’s in London to San Vicente Bungalows in LA, these spaces are shaping the rhythm of global cities. Italy is watching, learning, adapting.

Italy’s Love-Hate with Exclusivity

Italy doesn’t have a strong private club tradition. Even in Milan—a cosmopolitan city—it hasn’t fully clicked.

It’s not just about cost.

It’s mindset. Italians favor public, collective spaces. Paying for a closed, curated community? That feels foreign.

Yet the tide is shifting. Expats. International professionals. Italians returning from abroad. Globally-minded people see these clubs not as old-fashioned privileges, but as natural extensions of their lifestyle. Private. Dynamic. Full of opportunity.

Where Networks Happen

Members’ clubs are more than just stylish spaces: they’re places where ideas, relationships, and opportunities come to life.
In Italy, the concept is still taking root, but the potential is huge. Professionals need to embrace the idea that business can happen while playing billiards, enjoying a fine cigar, or listening to great music. In fact, it can be easier this way: conversations flow naturally, trust builds faster, and collaborations emerge organically. At their core, these clubs are all about connections, networks, and real human interactions. Every drink, every shared moment, every game becomes a chance to grow both professionally and socially.

House Of Nine: Where Great Amateurs Meet

With this spirit, in the heart of Florence, House of Nine came to life. More than just a club, it’s a place designed to show people a new way of thinking about community, business, and culture.

The aim is to introduce and “educate” members on the value of a space where connections happen naturally—where a conversation over a drink can turn into a project, where music sets the vibe, and where every moment sparks opportunity.

Step inside and discover a concept built on substance and style, a place that redefines networking as an experience, not a formality. House of Nine is where Florence meets the world, and where ideas, inspiration, and relationships thrive in perfect harmony.
