Private Clubs

The whole private membership thing didn't really work out for The Doheny, however apparently there is a lengthy wait list for Soho House's members only circle. Now, adding to that slew of expensive monthly members is Santa Monica's Casa Del Mar hotel. The hotel just announced an annual membership of $2,500, and those who shell out the bucks can gain "year-round access to the pool and fitness center, along with spa discounts and priority seating at the hotel lounge and restaurant, as well as one-time "benefits" such as a one-night stay in the Penthouse, breakfast in bed for two and several spa treatments." Deal or no deal? [HotelChatter]
