1. The Modernist at the Four Seasons: Where Contemporary Design Matches the City’s Pulse

Perfect for the visionary creative, The Modernist, on the 33rd floor of the Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, offers breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea, best enjoyed over a chilled Negroni. Members can converge in any of the six private meeting rooms, each distinguished by its specific vantage point: ‘Luminaries’ and ‘Founders’ command the coastline, while ‘Inventors’ and ‘Originators’ feature collapsible walls for larger, collaborative sessions. For more intimate gatherings, ‘Dreamers’ overlooks the city’s pulse, while ‘Voyagers’ is designed for the effortless transition from informal meetings to evening cocktails.

Operating on a curated, invite-only model, the club fosters a network that is both premium and reflective of Mumbai’s cultural leaders. With highly personalised services like bespoke menu and beverage curation, the experience feels less like a corporate boardroom and more like an intimate residential sanctuary. Located high above the hustle of Worli, the space was recently redesigned by Philip Pond of Atelier Pond. The aesthetic, described as a ‘Yacht in the Sky,’ marries sharp lines and ribbed interiors with Art Deco motifs that pay homage to Mumbai’s architectural history. Beyond the workspace, the club features a private cigar lounge equipped with a premium Cuban humidor and a sophisticated wine program offering nearly 40 organic and biodynamic labels by the glass. To bridge the gap between business and leisure, the team curates a diverse calendar of events ranging from innovation symposiums and tech talks to art gallery previews and book discussions.

DP Loves: Members receive complimentary and preferential access to AER, Mumbai’s most coveted rooftop. This allows you to bypass the waitlists and get first dibs on choosing a table at the sea-facing Yacht Club or the inward-looking Gimlet Garden.

2. Equus at the St. Regis: High-Stakes Networking With A Side Of Modern Glamour

Tailored for the sophisticated executive, Equus at the St. Regis feels like a definitive sky-sanctum. Perched on the 36th floor, it offers a refined retreat where members can trade the high-speed grind of Lower Parel for the quiet luxury of a private manor. The name, Latin for horse, is a deliberate homage to the historic Mahalaxmi Racecourse located just a heartbeat away. Designed to serve as a warm, intimate cocoon for the city’s power players, the interiors feature rich wood panelling, plush leather seating, and a carefully curated selection of contemporary art. The layout seamlessly transitions from a relaxed lounge to a dedicated dining area, flanked by private conference rooms that seat up to twelve. These suites are more than just meeting spaces; they are fully equipped command centres featuring state-of-the-art AV facilities and professional secretarial support.

The culinary experience is equally elevated, with the hotel’s award-winning kitchen team extending a highly personalised menu to the club. Members enjoy exclusive access to an expansive 900-bottle wine cellar, signature dining, and the St. Regis rituals that include the Martini Hour and the elegant Afternoon Tea. Beyond the club’s walls, membership serves as a cultural passport, offering invitations to the prestigious St. Regis Polo Tournament, bespoke parties, and private Chef’s Table dinners curated by culinary legends like Daniel Humm and Marco Pierre White.

DP Loves: Members also get unlimited access to their Athletic club, pool, and special discounts at the St Regis Spa, as well as access to the signature 24-hour butler service that is usually reserved for residents.

3. The Chambers At The Taj Mahal Palace For Old World Gravitas & Storied Designs

An institution in its own right, The Chambers was established in 1975 and has long served as the definitive ‘third space’ for India’s industrial dynasties and global diplomats. Membership here is the ultimate signifier of status, strictly by invitation and often passed down through generations, making it one of the few clubs where legacy is literally part of the contract. The club offers unrivalled, private views of the Gateway of India, enveloped in the familiar, signature sandalwood scent and world-renowned hospitality that defines the Taj brand. Spread across two levels of the heritage wing, the interiors are an extension of Edwardian elegance found across the property, blending antique furniture and rare art with the architecture of the Colaba property. Behind the classic wood panelling and silent libraries sit discrete, high-tech boardrooms and meeting suites, designed for game-changing conversations.

The culinary offerings are equally prestigious, featuring a world-class selection of rare teas, artisanal coffees, and a ‘no-menu’ philosophy for continental and Indian fine dining. For the modern palate, the bar curates everything from vintage malts to sophisticated sober beverage programs. Members also enjoy private, priority access to the hotel’s most coveted restaurants, including the legendary Golden Dragon and Wasabi by Morimoto. To ensure a seamless social experience, a dedicated Chambers Manager remains on call to handle everything from private jet charters and luxury transfers to securing impossible reservations at Michelin-starred destinations worldwide.

DP Loves: A membership at the Chambers is recognised across the globe — from St James Court in London to Pierre in New York— and offers home club privileges as well as perks of the highest tier of their loyalty program.

4. The Belvedere at The Oberoi: A Private Refuge For The Quiet Achiever

For those who prioritise discretion over being ‘seen,’ The Belvedere at The Oberoi, Nariman Point, offers the perfect sanctuary. Situated in the city’s original financial power centre, its privacy is unmatched, ideal for influential bankers, lawyers, and CEOs. The interiors feature a sleek, neutral palette of cream and beige against dark wood, while buttery leather-clad seating reflects the private, residential nature of the space. Each table is strategically distanced to ensure absolute confidentiality, complemented by semi-private alcoves and lounge areas designed to prevent eavesdropping. For formal gatherings, the club offers boardrooms equipped with seamless plug-and-play technology and minimalist rosewood tables.

The culinary experience is equally precise, with a menu curated for global palates and fully customizable dietary preferences. The bar, stocked with rare single malts and cognacs, recalls the sophisticated glamour of a classic executive club. With floor-to-ceiling views of the Arabian Sea, The Belvedere offers an unforgettable hospitality experience defined by Oberoi’s signature anticipatory service.

DP Loves: Members gain access to select closed-door events featuring talks about global economists, policy-makers, and industry leaders.

5. The Taj Club at Taj Lands End: The Coastal Retreat For The Modern Traveller

For those prioritising efficiency and ease, the Taj Club serves as the perfect temporary headquarters. It is designed specifically for the global traveller seeking a seamless experience, complete with private check-ins, curated high-tea service, and a dedicated butler on call. Perched on the 21st floor of the scenic Taj Lands End in Bandra, the lounge is a stunning coastal escape. Guests can begin their day with a private breakfast, returning later for the signature afternoon tea or the evening cocktail hour. Beyond the social spaces, members have access to high-spec meeting rooms, available on a first-come, first-served basis, to anchor their business day.

The design, a blend of gleaming parquet, polished marble, and floor-to-ceiling windows, reflects a modern heritage aesthetic synonymous with the Taj brand. The space is intelligently divided into two distinct zones: a social dining area for networking and a quiet lounge zone for deep work. In contrast to the Chambers in South Mumbai, the Taj Club at Lands End has established itself as the preferred sanctuary for North Mumbai’s social circles. 

DP Loves: A dedicated 24-hour Taj Club butler supports the modern traveller with everything from late-night check-ins to wardrobe steaming and private dining, seamlessly bridging the gap between home and hotel.
