Prague Introduces a Better Way to do Members Only: the LS Club

Not long ago we would have believed that Prague had everything. The city responsible for gifting us with the Horologue, the Charles Bridge, Good King Wenceslas, Bohemians and the Lennon Wall, Havel, Kafka, Kundera, the Iron Door, and a mythical, 9-foot nocturnal worker made of clay simply had to be able to check off all the boxes. Apparently, we were wrong: the city had no luxuriant members-only club. That is, until LS Club arrived.

In Prague's district 1 -- of course -- the 2-story club's playrooms include a members' lounge, business center with 50-seat conference center and reception, SHISO Japanese restaurant featuring a chef with a NOBU pedigree, and its Cristal nightclub will be opening on New Year's Eve. You don't need to be a member to dine at SHISO, and for a closer look at LS you can step into The Library, open to members and restaurant patrons. That's where you'll find the cigars, humidor, and hundreds of whiskeys and vintage cognacs. And, of course, 500 volumes of literature, because your Rocky Patel Vintage '92 isn't complete without The Trial.

Beyond its location, LS offers complimentary transfers from the center of town, a personal concierge service, a meet & greet service for your international guests, and private shopping arrangements. Speaking of private, LS Club is all about it: no photography is allowed inside and no members of the media can join... which means you won't even find Luxist there. However, since LS membership also means reciprocal rights at a host of private clubs worldwide, you might find us elsewhere. But before you find out about those other establishments, you'll have to get into this one first.

Ownership is a double-edged sword -- it's yours, and you loved it enough to buy it.

Filed under: Wings

Of all the private jet companies out there, Sentient Jet probably does the best job of partnering up with other companies. Not only have they partnered with resorts as many companies do, but they have also partnered with a medical clinic and now, a department store. Sentient is now the official private jet provider of Saks Fifth Avenue. The benefit of this new arrangement will be felt by Platinum and Diamond members of the Saks rewards program, SAKSFIRST. Members will get a special rate on the Sentient Jet Gold-level Membership and a Saks gift card worth up to $2,500. In return, Sentient Members will also have special access to Saks events as well as exclusive seasonal offers from Saks.
