915 W Hastings St., Vancouverclub.ca
Vancouver’s oldest and most established business club, where you’ll find powerbrokers sipping a sustaining beverage at the bar as negotiations and networking are conducted in only the most pleasant and restrained fashion (cellphones off, please). Club perks include food by noted city chef Sean Cousins, full barber service, and top-flight wine programs.
837 W. Hastings St., TCClub.com
Vancouver’s “other” downtown business club, just a few doors down on Hastings, is like a pedigreed version of Snoopy’s doghouse: miraculously bigger on the inside than the out. Fitness centre with 25-metre mountain-gazing pool, boutique hotel, billiards room, nine banquet rooms, three restaurants—you’ll need a reminder to go home again. Recently named one of Sharp magazine’s 10 premier clubs in Canada.
2001 Nanton Ave., Arbutusclub.com
