Oasis Collections To Open Brazil's First Urban Members' Club in Rio de Janeiro
MIAMI, March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the success of The Clubhouse in Buenos Aires, Oasis Collections has announced they will expand their members-only club network to include the year's most talked about destination, Rio de Janeiro. The new location will serve as a home away from home for its local and global members, as well as provide an authentic, insider social experience to travelers staying in any of Oasis' 100 hand-picked homes around the city.
Located in the heart of Rio, between famed Ipanema and up-and-coming Cantagalo, Clubhouse Rio is scheduled for a soft-launch in April 2015.
Cultural Director Cande Salles, whose documentary Para Sempre Teu, Caio F. (Forever Yours, Caio F.) was recently awarded "Best National Long" at Sao Paulo's 2014 Mix Brazil Film Festival has worked closely with the Clubhouse team to select a diverse group of founding members which include legendary supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio, fashion icon Alice Dellal, renowned designers Oskar Metsahvat and Lenny Niemeyer, Brazilian musician Seu Jorge and prominent artist Vik Muniz.
Visionary French architect/designer Jean-Luc Boucharenc and Parker Stanberry, Co-Founder & CEO of Oasis Collections, led the renovation of a 1940s residence, with interior design direction by British designer Lizzie Ward, whose previous work has included set design and production for Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Mario Testino.
Inspired by the carefree Carioca lifestyle of the 60s & 70s with a hint of the English gentleman's club, the property will offer 5 stylish guest suites, infinity pool, 2 bars and a multi-level terrace with stunning views of the surrounding hills and the Atlantic.
As with the Buenos Aires location, Clubhouse Rio will host a full and eclectic calendar of events for its Members, including private dinners with top local and international chefs, art exhibitions, music performances and screenings.
"When we started thinking about our next location, Rio and Sao Paulo were both natural targets given our focus on the Brazilian market," says Stanberry. "Despite its smaller size, Rio quickly became our top choice due to the demand from the creative class of that city for this concept. It's going to be a one-of-a-kind venue, one that has the potential to change the social and cultural landscape of Rio. The positive reaction since we announced the project has been very gratifying and exciting."
