History: The Coronado Club, a distinguished establishment located in Houston, Texas, has a storied history that dates back to its founding in 1923. This historic club was the brainchild of prominent Houstonians who envisioned a sophisticated gathering place where members could socialize, network, and enjoy the finer things in life. In 1956, the modern version of the Club was founded.
