Le Club fonctionne ainsi comme un mini hotel, avec comme fonction essentielle l’organisation d’événements pour ses membres: baptêmes, anniversaires, mariages etc. The advantage from the traveller’s perspective, as LuganoPirate has noted, is the reciprocal club network. I have used reciprocal clubs in Bangkok, New York, Mumbai, London and, most recently, San Francisco where I enjoyed a few very pleasurable gin-and-tonics with a colleague one evening at less-than-market prices in an uncrowded, quiet, oak-panelled, comfortable bar walking distance from the business district. These places really are a haven, and even if you are not with someone it is very pleasant to be able to go to a place where you know you will have a friendly reception, probably be able to have a chat with someone else at the bar if you feel so inclined, usually pay less than ordinary bar or restaurant prices, and in any event not feel too sad if you are on your own because so many members’ clubs do have a contingent of regulars who go solo

This was averted through the membership raising the capital to buy the property for the club. [1] See also [ edit ] Newark, Tim (2015). The In & Out: A History of the Naval and Military Club.
