Soho House is taking the wellness trend to new heights – literally – with its latest outpost in Manchester. The 48th member's club, which has been welcomed by a whopping 2,500-strong waitlist, promises an unparalleled level of pampering and indulgence.
At the helm of this luxurious empire is Andrew Carnie, a fitness enthusiast who recently completed a grueling ultra-marathon across the Sahara Desert. But Carnie isn't one to shy away from hard work – he's already eyeing his next adventure: an ultra-marathon across the Colorado mountains.
For Soho House, wellness has become the new hedonism. Gone are the days of rowdy nights and boozy lunches; instead, members can indulge in Reformer pilates studios, Hiit classes, and padel courts. Even the food is getting a makeover – with plant-based options plateauing, Carnie says the focus is on high-quality, locally sourced ingredients.
But don't worry, sticky toffee pudding remains on the menu – because let's face it, Soho House wouldn't be Soho House without it. And with the rise of clean cocktails and minimalism, the bar menu has been given a sleek makeover.
For Carnie, going public was a misstep – but being private again allows him to focus on his existing members' happiness. As CEO, he's free to run the show, often dragging his three daughters (ages 18, 15, and 10) along for the ride.
As Christine Cort OBE, co-founder of the Manchester international festival, puts it: "Manchester has changed dramatically. It's dynamic, it's collaborative, and it's all about having a really good time." For Soho House, that means welcoming like-minded individuals to its latest outpost – where wellness meets indulgence in a luxurious, Instagram-worthy bubble.
In short, Soho House is bringing the wellness trend to Manchester with style – and Carnie's got his finger on the pulse. Whether it's IV infusion drips or a good old-fashioned cocktail, this Soho House outpost promises an unforgettable experience for its members.
