Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants and Tao Group Hospitality to collaborate on a one-of-a-kind private members club opening in late 2023 in Chicago
Two of the most prominent players in the hospitality industry, Tao Group Hospitality and Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants, are joining forces for the first time to collaborate on a one-of-a-kind private members club located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. The social club is targeted to open in late 2023.
“I have admired Lettuce and have been friends with the Melmans for almost 20 years. We are thrilled to be working together and think this will be one of the country’s most exciting membership clubs,” said Noah Tepperberg, Co-CEO of Tao Group Hospitality.
“We are excited to collaborate with the Tao Group to open this private club in downtown Chicago,” said R.J. Melman, President of Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants. “We believe this project will bring a new, curated social and dining experience to our community.”
The space will be designed by award-winning interior designer Joyce Wang of Joyce Wang Studio (Hong Kong, London). Joyce Wang and her team specialize in luxury hospitality and have a global portfolio and an international presence within the industry.
More details on the social club will be coming soon.
