The Club at Birch House has officially opened its doors in Fort Lauderdale, introducing an intimate private club experience that merges seamlessly with the acclaimed Pillars Hotel & Club. Located at the former Birch House property adjacent to The Pillars Hotel, the new club creates a unified hospitality destination that combines the charm of both properties. According to owners Michael and Barbara Landry, the vision was to create a place where members and guests could enjoy outstanding food, gracious service, and meaningful connections in a relaxed setting, while benefiting from the unique connection to the hotel.
With membership intentionally limited, The Club at Birch House features an elegant lounge, bar, and integrated dining space that extends to a poolside terrace. Members will enjoy thoughtfully curated seasonal cuisine, special events, and reciprocal privileges with an international network of private clubs. Additionally, members gain access to select amenities and services at The Pillars Hotel, which has earned numerous international accolades, including multiple Condé Nast Johansens Awards and recognition among Florida's finest boutique hotels.
The opening builds upon more than two decades of exceptional service at The Pillars Hotel & Club, whose restaurant and hospitality have set a high standard in Fort Lauderdale. The Club at Birch House represents a natural evolution of that tradition—smaller, more personal, and thoughtfully integrated with The Pillars Hotel to enhance the overall guest and member experience. The Landrys emphasized that the concept centers on dining, conversation, and community, offering a fresh approach to private club hospitality.
Membership inquiries are now being accepted for those interested in joining this exclusive enclave. The Club at Birch House aims to provide an exclusive experience for a limited membership, blending personalized service, refined surroundings, and one of Fort Lauderdale's most celebrated boutique hospitality traditions. Together, the two properties offer members and hotel guests a distinctive blend of amenities, from the poolside hospitality to curated events that foster meaningful connections.
This opening marks a significant addition to Fort Lauderdale's hospitality landscape, as it combines the intimacy of a private club with the resources of an award-winning hotel. The Club at Birch House is poised to become a sought-after destination for those seeking exceptional dining and a welcoming environment, all while maintaining the legacy of excellence established by The Pillars Hotel & Club.
