Inside the Velvet Rope: How to Get Into Dubai’s Most Exclusive Power Playground

Listen to this article with AI

If you’re not inside The Arts Club Dubai, you’re not in the room where Dubai’s real power moves happen.

Hidden inside ICD Brookfield Place, this ultra-private members’ club isn’t just a venue — it’s where billionaires close deals, royals unwind, celebrities disappear from the spotlight, and the city’s most influential names quietly decide what’s next.

So how do you get in?

First, understand this: you don’t apply casually. Membership is selective, curated, and reputation-driven.

Step 1: Get Sponsored
You’ll need a proposal supported by existing members. This isn’t a public sign-up — the club looks for individuals who bring influence, creativity, business power, or cultural value to the community.

Step 2: Submit Your Application
Once sponsored, your profile goes to the membership committee. They review your professional standing, network, and whether you fit the club’s global, high-caliber circle.

Step 3: Be Patient — and Impressive
Approvals take time. The club isn’t chasing numbers — it’s protecting exclusivity. Think quality over quantity.

Step 4: Choose Your Tier
Membership fees vary by category (local or international), with annual dues reflecting the club’s elite positioning.

Why the hype?

Because inside, it’s a different Dubai. Private dining rooms, invite-only art events, celebrity appearances, and networking that can change your business — or your life — overnight.

This is where fashion icons, global investors, media moguls, and royalty cross paths without cameras.

In Dubai, there are luxury spaces.

And then there’s The Arts Club.

If you know, you know.

If you’re inside — you’ve officially arrived.
