Ian Minor, hospitality creator and operator, shared his take on the convergence of hotels, members clubs, and coworking spaces into hybrid hospitality models. He cites Ennismore’s portfolio expansion from The Hoxton to include brands like Mama Shelter, 25hours, Hyde, and coworking brand Working From_, supported by the Dis-Loyalty paid monthly membership program across properties.

Also highlighted were Soho House‘s evolution from banning laptops to launching dedicated coworking arm Soho Works with relaxed workspace rules now integrated into most locations, French operator OKKO Hotels centering properties around club-lounge-coworking spaces, and Zoku designing hotel rooms as micro apartments with built-in workspaces.

London-based private members’ club operator Soho House agreed to sell itself to an investor group led by MCR Hotels for $2.7B including debt, at $9 per share representing an 18% premium to Friday’s close but well below its $14 IPO price from 2021.

The deal includes Apollo Global Management helping refinance approximately $700M in debt, while existing shareholders Ronald Burkle, founder Nick Jones, and Goldman Sachs Alternatives will roll their holdings into the new company. The transaction comes after the company faced criticism over its business model and stock performance, with shares down 45% from their IPO price, though it reported quarterly profits this year.

Actor and investor Ashton Kutcher is joining the investor group and will join Soho House’s board as the company continues expanding its global footprint of 46 locations serving over 270,000 members.

The Malin has opened its first luxury coworking location in Austin. It blends high-end design with personalized services like concierge staff and catered lunches. Members enjoy perks like executive assistants, meeting support, and access to beautifully designed workspaces.

The Malin’s first location, in Soho, is one of NYC’s most in-demand coworking spaces. They’ve most recently expanded to Nashville, so it’s a perfect fit for them to target this demographic in Austin. With day passes that start at $75 per day on some aggregators, the experience is quite similar to Soho House.
