Exploring the World of Soho House: A Comprehensive Guide to Locations, Types, and Unique Naming

Soho House has evolved into a global network of over 40 operational locations as of September 2025, with several more in the pipeline, catering to creative communities across urban, coastal, and rural settings. From its humble beginnings in London to ambitious expansions in Asia and beyond, the brand offers diverse experiences through various house types, such as standard urban clubs for networking, intimate Little Houses for local gatherings, relaxed Beach Houses for leisure, and wellness-focused Farmhouses. Naming conventions often deviate from the "Soho House" prefix to preserve historical or acquired identities, enhancing local authenticity. This guide delves into the evolution, differences in house types, naming rationale, and a region-by-region breakdown of all past, present, and future locations, including seasonal and pop-up notes.

The Evolution of Soho House

Founded in 1995 at 40 Greek Street in London's Soho district, Soho House started as a creative haven above a French restaurant and has since grown exponentially, reaching approximately 42 clubs by mid-2024 and aiming for 46 by the end of 2025. Key milestones include the 1998 acquisition of Babington House as its first countryside retreat and international expansions starting with New York in 2003. Recent developments emphasize wellness and regional growth, with 2025 openings like Soho Farmhouse Ibiza and Grasmere House in upstate New York. Membership models, including Every House for global access and Cities Without Houses for non-physical locations, support this expansion, now serving over 269,000 members.

Differences Between House Types

Soho House tailors its venues to specific environments and member needs, resulting in distinct categories:

• Soho House (Urban Clubs): Full-service city hubs with restaurants, bars, gyms, cinemas, and workspaces, ideal for professional networking in historic buildings. Examples include Soho House Paris and Berlin, blending modern design with local culture.
• Little House: Compact urban spots for intimate, neighborhood-focused experiences, offering casual dining and events without large-scale amenities. Suited for daily drop-ins, like Little House Mayfair.
• Beach House: Leisure-oriented coastal venues with pools, ocean views, and relaxed dining, emphasizing rejuvenation. Often seasonal in vibe, such as Little Beach House Malibu.
• Farmhouse: Rural escapes promoting wellness and sustainability, with gardens, spas, and cabins. Perfect for retreats, like Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds.
• Other Variations: Include Pool Houses for pool-centric relaxation (e.g., Miami Pool House), Roc Houses for island-style getaways (potentially seasonal), and pop-ups for temporary events.

These distinctions allow Soho House to adapt to diverse locales while maintaining a core focus on community and comfort.

Why Some Names Deviate from "Soho House"

Many locations omit the "Soho House" prefix to honor their historical roots or acquisition origins, fostering a sense of place rather than uniform branding. For instance, Babington House retains its Georgian manor name to evoke countryside heritage, while acquired spots like Scorpios (now Soho Roc House Mykonos) keep elements of their original identity. This approach, influenced by founder Nick Jones, avoids generic labels and enhances cultural integration, though it may confuse newcomers.
