Hidden behind a terracotta facade in Miami Beach's Sunset Harbour, Harbour Club offers a private escape from the city's vibrant scene. Founder James Julius envisioned a space akin to a neighborhood café, where members could unwind with pasta and martinis. The club boasts a Mediterranean restaurant, a'Riva, accessible to the public by reservation, and two members-only spaces: the speakeasy-style Palm Room and the Japanese Nikai Lounge. Julius aims to create a community-driven atmosphere, inviting members to shape the club's experience and fostering a sense of belonging among Miami's elite.
, whose starchitect-constructed skyline totes names like Zaha Hadid and Herzog & de Meuron. In a city where hospitality concepts are designed to see and be seen,in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour is the opposite—it could easily be mistaken for a neighborhood café.
Palm fronds are a theme threaded throughout the two-story space, which Julius spent two years renovating with the help of architectural and design studio Yodezeen. Custom-designed Orlean wallpaper lines the Instagrammable bathrooms , as well as the walls and ceiling of the lounge-like, members-only Palm Room.
“In London, people have multiple memberships and only eat at members’ clubs, not at regular restaurants,” says Julius. “Over the last year or so, we’ve seen people in the U.S. start to hold multiple memberships, but a lot here are far more expensive than the ones in London, which is why I tried to bring the English style of club here.”
Harbour Club’s 40 founding members are “some of the biggest people in Miami,” and Julius wants them to feel like they had a part to play in curating the membership base and club experience . “I said, ‘I want this club to feel like your second home—I want you to know everyone who is coming in here,’” he explains, adding that one of the application questions is how much time you spend in Miami, since most members live there full-time.
