the heart of Manhattan. The Yale Club is the largest college clubhouse in the world, serving nearly
11,000 members with the finest facilities, a friendly and attentive staff, special events to suit every
taste, and a sense of camaraderie you simply won’t find anywhere else.
Inside the Clubhouse, you will find:
v 138 comfortably decorated guestrooms and suites
v An Athletic Facility consisting of three international squash courts, cardio machines, a weight
room, a variety of classes and a pool
v Three dining rooms, the Roof Terrace, and two bars
v Banquet and catering facilities for events from 10 to 300 people
v 50,000 volume reference Library with complimentary Wi-Fi
v A Presidential Main Lounge
Outside of the Club, our members gain access to reciprocal arrangements with over 90 prestigious
clubs throughout the world. Other member benefits include discounts for retailers such as Brooks
Brothers, Zipcar, and The Economist.
If you have further questions regarding membership or would like to schedule a tour, please visit our
