A “gallery” workspace at Fitler Club

Philadelphia’s Fitler Club aims to create a unique space where would-be leaders and achievers can work, stay and play amid a luxe, industrial-chic backdrop.Â
Launched by Equinox Hotels co-founder David Gutstadt in 2019, the sprawling Fitler Club boasts 136,000-square feet of amenities-filled space. There’s a 14-room hotel, a massive gym and spa, roof deck, screening room, Olympic-size pool, game room with bowling alley and vintage arcade games, virtual golf simulator, multiple eateries overseen by chef Marc Vetri, and more than 34,000 square-feet of workspace and private office suites.Â

Located on the banks of Philly’s Schuylkill River near the Amtrak-accessible 30th Street Station, Fitler Club execs hope to launch several more members-only clubs across the country that blend the flexible workspace solutions of WeWork with the luxury lifestyle vibes of Soho House.

Future Fitler Club off-shoots—locations in Dallas, Boston, Washington D.C. and Toronto have been discussed—will have names that reference their respective home cities (“Fitler” is a nod to Philly’s Fitler Square neighborhood).Â
