Harrods Opens The Residence and Reveals an Exclusive Look Inside the Club

Harrods, the world’s leading luxury department store, announced the opening of The Residence private members club, located in HKRI Taikoo Hui Cha House, Shanghai.

The club, which is a global first for Harrods, houses Gordon Ramsay’s first Shanghai restaurant and offers unique experiences to members including access to rare wines and spirits from partners such as LOUIS XIII and The Macallan. The Residence has been carefully designed to create a vibrant social hub, where like-minded individuals can meet and become part of a community with access to exclusive events, from wine tastings to chef’s tables to masterclasses and networking evenings.

Designed by the team at SOCIAL F+B, the approach taken to designing the club was to embrace and enhance the heritage-chic interiors by designing a luxuriously rich dining and lounge area that sits royally within the colonial baroque architectural style of the building. Inspired by the natural beauty of the local area and the legacy of Harrods, the design brings together subtle, botanical touches and a refined use of materiality.<
