Who We Are

In 1889, a group of gentlemen in Vancouver decided to form a club where they could get together and enjoy each other's company over a meal, and talk about politics, social concerns, and their business. Our current sophisticated 5-story building was established in 1913, and The Club is a place for entertaining, for business, for extraordinary events, for sumptuous cuisine, and exclusive wine bottling; it’s a place to experience the best that life has to offer, and in the finest company.

The ambition of the Vancouver Club is to be cherished. We all work together to create the best path to a successful life in Vancouver. We honor our best traditions in a contemporary way. We constantly evolve towards the best parts of the future. And by doing these things we will remain essential.

We believe it is the privilege of everyone who is part of the Vancouver Club family, be they members, management, or staff, to help bring out the best in each other. We are most successful when we are successful together.
