Soho House, the exclusive membership club popular among celebrities and creatives, has completed a $2.7 billion merger to become a private company. The deal will allow Soho House to focus on growing its global network of more than 48 locations and enhancing the amenities and experiences offered to its nearly 260,000 members worldwide.

Why it matters

Going private gives Soho House more flexibility to invest in its expansion and member offerings without the scrutiny and constraints of being a public company. As a private entity, Soho House can prioritize its core mission of creating exclusive, high-end social and wellness spaces for its affluent, creative-class members across major global cities.

The details

To finance the merger, Soho House Holdings Limited entered into a $220 million senior unsecured notes facility and Soho House Bond Limited issued $695 million in senior secured notes. Soho House also amended and extended its revolving credit facility to January 31, 2029. The merger resulted in changes to Soho House's board of directors, with Ron Burkle, Richard Caring, Mark Ein, and other industry leaders now sitting on the board.

  • Soho House completed the $2.7 billion merger in January 2026.
  • Soho House had almost 260,000 members as of 2024.
