Global Nightlife: The Most Exclusive Clubs

Pink Elephant in New York.

Pink Elephant in New York.

Comments  (6)

Jul 13, 2012 —  If you like VIP treatment, taking shots with celebrities, and being the envy of every person stuck in the hundred-yard long line outside, then high-end nightclubs were made for you.

Beyond the velvet ropes of upscale clubs is another world, catering to those with money, class, stardom, and style. Where under the sexy low lighting, svelte cocktail waitresses serve detailed drinks to playboys in Armani and fashionistas wearing every designer you could name down Fifth Avenue.

But don’t be fooled by the ultrachic décor and ornate frills – the inhabitants of these decadent dens still know how to party. They just party with more expensive drinks and more famous people while looking better than your average reveler. Oh, and with all the wealth and standing flowing through these venues, they also get to dance to the hottest DJs normally reserved for 10,000-person shows.

The most exclusive of upscale clubs are places that the common partygoer (especially men…and especially men without a ton of dough) may only dream about, but for those who know how to play the part, are one-of-a-kind destinations. So get ready to dress to impress, because below are the top high-end clubs in the world where the rich, beautiful, and famous party hard – and bottle service is always de rigueur.

    Club Silencio

    Club

    Club Silencio - Club in Paris.
    Masterminded and designed by famed filmmaker David Lynch, Club Silencio – named for the theater featured in Mulholland Drive – is a stunning and ultra-exclusive nightclub/bar/concert venue/whatever-eccentric-show-Lynch-has-in-mind-tonight kind of place. Once past a small sign and down six dim flights of stairs, international scenesters find

    Provocateur

    Club / Lounge

    Provocateur - Club | Lounge in New York.
    It may be located on the backside of the Gansevoort Hotel, but über-exclusive nightclub and lounge Provocateur might as well be on the backside of Mars considering most people’s chances of getting in. Split into two separate spaces, the venue features a garden lounge called the Café on one side and the lavish club on the other. In both, impeccably

    The Cuckoo Club

    Club / Restaurant

    The Cuckoo Club - Club | Restaurant in London.
    Once voted Best New Club at the London Club and Bar Awards, The Cuckoo Club is undoubtedly one of London’s hottest nightspots and attracts a well-heeled, fashionable crowd of the city’s movers and shakers, as well as a routine smattering of celebrities. Lavishly decorated in hues of pink, burgundy, and purple, The Cuckoo Club features fine dining

    AV Nightclub

    Club / Lounge

    AV Nightclub - Club | Lounge in Los Angeles.
    Of all the good things to come out of two letters – TV, E.T., R&B –there’s one more to add to the list: AV, an ultra-swanky Hollywood nightclub that began life as a Monday-only hotspot but has since opened for dolled-up weekend warriors as well. Potential guests need only follow the valet line trekking down Selma to discover the club’s

    P1

    Club

    P1 - Club in Munich.
    Considered one of the chicest and most famous clubs in Munich – and perhaps in all of Germany – P1 regularly attracts the crème de la crème of the city as well as international celebrities, football players, actors, and models. Located below the famous Haus der Kunst art museum, the beautifully decorated venue consists of two large rooms, each with

    Proof

    Club / Lounge

    Proof - Club | Lounge in Chicago.
    The Gold Coast isn’t lacking in swanky lounges, but Proof turns the glitz up a notch with its intimate size and a focus on those three little letters glam clubbers love to hear: VIP. Though it has two floors, both are relatively small, compelling mixing and mingling among the glass-enclosed private tables where perfectly coiffed guys drink

Gabriel Larkman Jul 30, 2012 What about the nightclubs in Ibiza? Ushuaia had a 40 euro cover charge and then one beer was 16 euros. Or Queens Club in Paris - I payed 30 euro for a vodka redbull!
Kira Abe Jul 30, 2012 If you want to talk exclusive, check out Maddox in Picadilly, London. It's a private, members-only club reserved for the rich and beautiful. Entering Maddox is like walking into an episode of Gossip Girl- totally glam and amazing! They even have a female DJ who looks like a model and rocks diamond-studded headphones.
Sara Gunther Jul 26, 2012 I haven't been to Paris since Silencio opened. I agree, it looks AMAZING. Pink Elephant in New York is probably worthy of being on this list right now, too.
Paul Feinstein Jul 26, 2012 Can't wait to get to Paris and check out Silencio. David Lynch is a genius. Le Baron isn't exactly easy to get into either - but well worth the wait.
nishashah Jul 26, 2012 I've heard the Boom Boom Room at the Standard Hotel in New York is pretty exclusive too.
Lauren Altman Jul 26, 2012 Loved Provocateur! Headed to London soon so The Cuckoo Club is next on my list.
