LES AMBASSADEURS

Les Ambassadeurs Club, or “Les A” as it is fondly referred to by its members, has been welcoming aristocracy, diplomats and famous names since the early 19th Century. Once owned by the Conyngham family and Leopold de Rothschild, son of Baron Lionel de Rothschild, the club was re-opened in 1991 and once again established itself as a major landmark in the architectural heritage and social life of the Mayfair and London scene, and as one of the most exclusive and sought after casino memberships.

Bought by Twinwood Limited in 2006 and marking the most recent phase in No. 5 Hamilton Place history, the company set about lavishly restoring the building’s classical features, including the most striking library and solid oak staircases in London and in addressing the smoking ban, created a one-of-a-kind smoking garden for the comfort of its members; allowing them to play and smoke in an ‘al fresco’ gaming environment.
