Welcome to The Lotos Club, where timeless elegance and contemporary style meet.

The Lotos Club, one of the oldest literary clubs in the United States, was founded on March 15, 1870, by a group of young writers, journalists and critics. Decade after decade of Lotos history is filled with magnificent entertaining, sharp-witted oratory, grand food, concerts, art shows, evenings with presidents and mayors, literary roundtables and lavish State Dinners. In 1947, the Club entered its present home at Five East Sixty-sixth Street. A fine example of French Renaissance architecture, the building was designed by Richard Howland Hunt. 

Our beautiful Clubhouse is in every way a home.
Built in 1900 as a wedding gift for Maria Vanderbilt Shepard and William Jay Schieffelin, it has been lovingly restored. Guests and members alike treasure a setting that is timelessly beautiful but not ostentatious; perfectly elegant, yet comfortable. Fourteen lovely overnight rooms with private bath are available for use by Lotos members, their guests and reciprocal club members.
