KEE Private Members Club to open in Shanghai

Hong Kong’s KEE private members club founded in 2001 by Maria and Christian Rhomberg, is to open its first overseas club in Mainland China. KEE Shanghai opens this October in Shanghai at the city’s prestigious new heritage site Twin Villas, on 796 Huai Hai Road.

KEE is a private members’ club set in an intimate environment, for people who are interested in being part of a certain lifestyle which embraces the ultimate in art, music, food, wine and most importantly, people.

KEE Shanghai will offer the same unique “salon” and dining environment that has proved a success in Hong Kong, drawing a chic local and international following, which includes members of royal families, heads of state, renowned film directors and celebrities. International celebrity visitors include Jude Law, Mick Jagger, Ron Wood, Michael Jordan, Sting and Asian celebrities Michelle Yeo, Chau Yun Fat, Maggie Q, Wong Kar Wai and Hidetoshi Nakata.

Visitors to KEE Shanghai can expect rich fabrics and textures, antique furniture and collections of art from past centuries in rooms reminiscent of European salons, recalling an age that was known for its artistic decadence and intellectual conversation, much like the old Shanghai of the 1920s.

Beautifully restored to its previous grandeur, the 1921 Twin Villas offers the perfect setting for KEE Shanghai. The club, which is renowned in Hong Kong for its personal service and luxury ambience, will share the building with the Richemont Shanghai headquarters, sitting above the flagship stores for China of distinguished brands such as Alfred Dunhill and Vacheron Constantin.

KEE Shanghai comprises a cosy brasserie style restaurant, an elegant yet relaxing lounge and bar, both with outdoor balconies overlooking the gardens, and intimate rooms for private dining. All-wood floors, high ceilings and French windows add to the ambience of the club.

KEE Shanghai will offer a contemporary French and Mediterranean fine dining menu accompanied by an excellent wine selection. In addition, there will also be high tea and Saturday/Sunday brunch as well as a Chinese banquet menu served in the private rooms and more casual Japanese –inspired and international-style tapas menu and sensational cocktails served from the bar.

In its short history, KEE private members club in Hong Kong has played host to a plethora of lifestyle events, which range from gourmet dinners featuring Michelin-starred chefs and the finest wines from across the globe. These include Dom Pérignon’s showcase event - the Seven Sensualities dinner, as well as champagne and wine pairing events for the likes of Krug, Veuve Clicquot and Gaja.
