Take a peek inside Camel Club, Lexington’s first culture and community-driven social club, which opened this past spring.
This members-only destination offers themed spaces — including the bar, parlor, theater, garden, and more — designed for coworking, socializing, and curated experiences. Camel Club also offers robust arts and culture programming, from rotating art exhibitions to a chef series led by Chef Nathan Voorhees.
The club’s design concept was developed by Morris & Atlas — the team behind Michelin Key–rated hotel The Manchester and its restaurant and rooftop bar, Granddam and Lost Palm.
If you’re interested in seeing it for yourself, tours are available for prospective members to explore Camel Club’s unique offerings and elevated spaces.
