The Jonathan Club in Los Angeles, California
A peek into the Jonathan Club – a private club located in downtown Los Angeles that is open to The American Club Members.
Founded in 1895 by a small group of prominent businessmen and power brokers, Jonathan Club was initially established to facilitate social networking and cross-industry collaboration among its closely-knit members. The Club has since risen in stature, alongside the city of Los Angeles, and is now regarded as one of the most prestigious private clubs in the US.
Situated in the historic Figueroa district of Los Angeles, the original site of its first built-for-purpose building, the Club later expanded in 1927 to include a beachfront location on the shores of Santa Monica. Throughout its 130-year existence, Jonathan Club has upheld a tradition of exclusivity and sophistication, offering its members access to luxurious amenities, fine dining, and a wide range of recreational activities.
The Club’s members are among some of the most accomplished in their fields – an eclectic and vibrant community united by a shared legacy of cultural impact, the desire to make the most out of life, and the willingness to use their influence for good. Coupled with its rich heritage and timeless elegance, Jonathan Club continues to be a cornerstone of the Los Angeles social landscape and a symbol of Southern California’s elite social scene.
Dining Experiences
Dining in Jonathan Club is both a feast for the senses and a celebration of community. Produce is sustainably sourced from the farms, fisheries and foragers of Southern California, as well as the Town Club’s 2800 square-foot urban garden, then masterfully transformed into exquisite dishes by the Club’s highly-acclaimed team of chefs and culinary experts.
Choose from the old-school opulence of The Grill, with its ornate ceilings, dark wood paneling, custom-designed chandeliers and an expansive collection of fine wines; the elegant Skybar & South Roof Deck, featuring an original built-in bar, gas fireplace and stunning views of Downtown Los Angeles; or the modern hacienda-style restaurant and bar in the Santa Monica property overlooking the Pacific Ocean, among others. You’ll be absolutely spoiled for choice in the way of dining destinations.
