DESIGN LOCATIONS · OUR NEWEST PUBLIC PROJECT
Not just beautiful places.
Places worth knowing.
An independently curated collection of remarkable locations around the world.
01ABOUT THE PROJECT
An editorial guide,
not a directory.
DESIGN LOCATIONS is a new editorial project from the team behind THE ARCH MEMBERS CLUB.
We discover and showcase places with distinctive character, exceptional concepts and cultural relevance. From iconic hotels and innovative restaurants to underground nightclubs, independent bars and creative destinations, our selection celebrates what makes each place different.
We look beyond conventional definitions of luxury. Great music, an extraordinary atmosphere, original design, outstanding hospitality or cultural significance can all make a location worth discovering.

03OUR SELECTION
Selected for character,
not just appearance.
Every location is considered individually based on its identity, quality, atmosphere, concept and cultural relevance.
Inclusion is editorially curated, not automatic. There are no listing fees, and no membership or benefits partnership is required to be featured.
Editorially curated.
Never for sale.

DESIGN LOCATIONS.
We welcome exceptional locations from around the world.
Locations may express their interest in being considered for the collection. Every submission is subject to editorial review, and inclusion is not guaranteed.
05THE CONNECTION
Two projects.
More possibilities.
DESIGN LOCATIONS focuses on public discovery.
Separately, selected locations may collaborate with THE ARCH MEMBERS CLUB to offer additional benefits and experiences to private members.
Participation in either project is independent. Being featured in DESIGN LOCATIONS does not automatically imply membership benefits, preferred access or a commercial partnership.
