Established in 1925, The American Club is one of Asia’s leading, premier clubs located in the heart of Hong Kong’s Central District. It provides members, and their families, with a distinctive gathering place for social, recreational and business activities whilst still maintaining a characteristic American atmosphere. Memberships include the use of sports facilities, fine dining experiences and a range of event spaces for private hire.
Reconstructing a piece of American history
To help give The American Club an authentic look and feel, our project team helped source and import a 135 year old bar from Billy’s Restaurant in New York City as a showpiece for one of the new lounges. The 48ft antique bar was delivered in 3 large pieces and re-assembled on site over a 2 week period.
In homage to its beginnings, the bar now serves American craft beers, classic cocktails and a large selection of unique American bourbons, spirits and moonshines.

Gleeds cost and project managed the refurbishment of the 3,000m2building, and in doing so achieved a 25% cost saving. Works included the reconfiguration of:
