Celebrating 115 Years of History (1894 – 2009)
In many ways, the history of Arizona Club is the story of Arizona and the families who carved a city out of a wild and isolated desert valley. In the early 1890s, the Phoenix Social Club and the Maricopa Club were formed with members that included such illustrious pioneers as Territorial Governor Oaks Murphy; Territorial Congressman Marcus A. Smith; B.A. Packard; Baron Goldwater and Col. Espes Randolph. For the first 21 years there were three Club presidents, all of whom served on the Territorial Supreme Court.
In 1906, the two clubs merged and took a new name. "Arizona Club" made its headquarters in the gracious Adams Hotel and other historic buildings until it found a home in the new Luhrs building in 1924. From the top floors the view of the surrounding ranches was breathtaking.
In 1969, Arizona Club merged with Cloud Club, providing two elegant facilities in uptown and downtown Phoenix. The members of the 45-year old Kiva Club merged with Arizona Club in 1987.
Today, Arizona Club boasts beautiful facilities overlooking downtown Phoenix and it offers a quiet refuge that is elegantly private, yet supremely inviting. Located on the top two floors of Chase Tower, Arizona Club offers it's members unrivaled panoramic views of the entire valley. Arizona Club offers over 7,500 square feet of dining space in six rooms accommodating five to 350 people for business meetings and elaborate social affairs. Arizona Club is a place where achievement, membership and hospitality naturally come together.
For over 100 years, Arizona Club is where the state’s history and future have been in concert. Arizona Club has distinguished itself as a “home away from home” by specializing in personal recognition and attention to details. As the oldest private social club in Arizona, it is the Club's tradition to make every visit relaxing and enjoyable.
