Soho House Portland, located inside Central Eastside's historic Troy Laundry building, will open its doors Monday ā the first Pacific Northwest offering from the members-only club.
Why it matters: It's a huge win for the city as it works to rebuild its reputation and inject renewed enthusiasm via big-name developments and revitalization projects.
- We also beat out both our neighboring big-city rivals, San Francisco and Seattle, in scoring a Soho House.
Context: Soho House has grown to 43 cities worldwide since 1995, and is known for its exclusivity and long waitlist of hopeful members.
The latest: Axios Portland toured Soho House Portland earlier this month to look at its accommodations, amenities, and food and drink offerings.
- The house has panoramic views of the city from the rooftop terrace, which includes a 62-foot infinity-edge pool set to open later this spring.

The vibe: Unsurprisingly, Soho House Portland offers the same chic, sophisticated midcentury interior one would expect from an ultra-luxe private club ā exposed brick, concrete columns, colorful tile work and vintage-inspired furniture.
What's inside: The club is spread throughout two floors ā plus the rooftop ā in the Troy Laundry Building, which until 1983 acted as a commercial laundry.
- On the first floor, you'll find the front desk, cafe ā featuring beans from Upper Left Roasters, leaves from True Tea, and pastries from Dos Hermanos ā plus a gym. Members have access to daily fitness programming like yoga and Pilates.
- Upstairs is the member lounge area, a co-working space, locker rooms (with a sauna and steam room), an entertainment venue, and a restaurant and bar.
Dig in: Chef Matt Sigler ā best known for his pasta-making skills at Il Solito and since-shuttered Renata ā helms the culinary program here with Soho House's North America executive chef Andrea Cavaliere.
- The Italian-centric menu has Pacific Northwest flair and utilizes open-fire cooking. There will be pasta, veggies from Oregon farms like Flying Coyote and meat from Olympia Provisions.
