Chez Margaux

What Chez Margaux does

Chez Margaux is a private members' club operating from a single flagship location at 403 W 13th Street in Manhattan's West Village, New York City. Founded in 2022 and structured as a non-profit, the company offers a curated hospitality and social experience exclusively to vetted members in the New York high-net-worth segment. Access is gated through an application-based model that requires personal information, proof of age, a profile photo, and a letter of recommendation from an existing member.

The company's product is a portfolio of four membership tiers: an Under 30 tier at $3,000/year with a $2,000 initiation fee, a Standard/Signature tier (30 and above) at $4,000/year with a $3,000 initiation fee, a premium Executive tier at $25,000/year with a $10,000 initiation fee, and a Lifetime Membership with undisclosed pricing. Member benefits scale with tier, including guest passes (three daily for Signature, five for Executive), priority access to a maître d' and Membership Director, and the privilege of hosting private gatherings. Membership dues and initiation fees are non-refundable.

The underlying technology is a third-party membership management platform provided by PeopleVine, hosted on Microsoft Azure, which handles application intake, member records, and billing. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the company website (chez-margaux.com) and supported by an Instagram presence (@chezmargauxnyc) and segmented email channels. The company employs approximately 15 people, has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and operates exclusively in the New York City market with no international locations.
