Opening soon at Fort Canning: private club Madison House

[SINGAPORE] Another new private social club is set to launch by the end of the year, this time in the historic Fort Canning Park. Madison House will occupy a four-storey building next to the former Hotel Fort Canning Singapore, which itself has been taken over and will open as Mett Singapore on Oct 28, after an overhaul.

Both Madison House and Mett Singapore – located in a restored military building – are brands under Dubai-based Sunset Hospitality Group (SHG), which also runs Sushisamba restaurant in Capital Tower.

Madison House marks the start of the group’s members’ club division and a planned global expansion, with a Milan opening slated to follow in early 2026.

Positioned as a luxury club for wellness, fitness and hospitality, Madison House spans over 37,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space. It is partnering the Milan-based The Longevity Suite to offer cryotherapy, science-driven spa and aesthetic treatments and biohacking and longevity protocols. The Singapore outpost is The Longevity Suite’s regional debut.

In terms of fitness, the club will have a 3,200 square foot gym, fitted with advanced strength, cardio and functional equipment, as well as a studio offering classes such as Reformer Pilates, aerial yoga, high-intensity interval training and Barrecore.

There are also two padel courts, a pickleball court and two swimming pools, a cold plunge and sauna and steam rooms.

A weekly calendar of fitness and wellness classes will be available, with members enjoying preferential-rate access to the club’s padel and pickleball courts, as well as premium studio classes.

Mark Watts, Madison House’s managing director, said the club is built for those who “want belonging, enrichment and the tools to perform at their best”.

“Every detail has been crafted for our members’ evolving lifestyles, from restorative treatments and architectural serenity, to rooms designed for both quiet reflection and lively gatherings.”

Nort Janssen, chief executive officer of The Longevity Suite Asia, said the partnership is “setting a new benchmark in human optimisation for Singapore”.

“Our clinics in Europe have demonstrated just how transformative targeted protocols and advanced therapies can be, not just for physical health, but for true personal vitality and confidence.”

Also to be housed within the club building are a members’ lounge, a bar, an outdoor terrace and a modern Korean restaurant, Hanu. The club’s programming will range from breakfast and supper clubs to industry talks, music showcases, wine and whisky tastings and padel and pickleball socials.

Members of Madison House Singapore will also have access to the Milan club when it opens and vice versa.

“We are building a global network of reciprocal partner clubs,” Watts told The Business Times. “These will be like-minded clubs with a shared focus on lifestyle, wellness and community and will be announced in due course.”

The club is aiming for a membership size of between 800 and 1,000. However, SHG declined to reveal joining and subscription fees.

Madison House’s debut follows hot on the heels of openings and expansions by other private social clubs.

BT reported in September that new private club, The Nanson, was opening on Oct 1 at the Robertson Quay premises of its predecessor, 1880, which collapsed on Jun 17. The 1880 brand and intellectual property were sold to Icon1c – a lifestyle group that includes Mandala Club – which is looking for a new location to relaunch the club.

In July, BT also reported that Vanta – a new, S$30 million members-only club – will start operating in December at MacDonald House. Before that, both Mandala Club and the wine-focused 67 Pall Mall also announced expansion plans.
