Our Reciprocal Club Network Just Got Bigger!

We are delighted to announce two new reciprocal partnerships between the Victory Services Club and the Army and Navy Club of Washington DC, as well as the Union League Club of Chicago. These collaborations provide our members with access to the outstanding facilities of two of the United States’ most distinguished private clubs.

THE ARMY AND NAVY CLUB, WASHINGTON

The Army and Navy Club is one of Washington DC’s most renowned private clubs. Founded in 1885, it has long served as a prestigious home away from home for generations of military officers and national leaders. Overlooking historic Farragut Square and dedicated by three U.S. Presidents across its successive clubhouses, the Club is steeped in tradition and recognised for its Five Star Platinum status, placing it among the leading city clubs in the United States.

When visiting Washington DC, members may enjoy access to the Club’s facilities, including refined dining, comfortable guest accommodations, and a remarkable military library and art collection. Its prime location—just steps from the White House and major Metro stations—makes it an ideal base for both business and leisure travel in the U.S. capital.

UNION LEAGUE CLUB OF CHICAGO

Founded in 1879, the Union League Club of Chicago is a distinguished private club in the heart of downtown, known for elevating the everyday through exceptional service, historic architecture, and one of the largest private art collections in the city. The Club offers members an inspiring setting that blends comfort, culture, and tradition.

Rooted in a legacy that began during the Civil War, the Union League Club has long stood for civic responsibility, integrity in government, and support for our nation’s military. Located steps from Chicago’s cultural and business centres, the Club provides refined dining, welcoming accommodations, and an atmosphere shaped by generations of leaders who helped build Chicago into a world-class city—making it an ideal home away from home for members visiting the United States.

HOW TO OBTAIN A LETTER OF INTRODUCTION

To access any of the VSC’s reciprocal clubs, members are required to obtain a ‘Letter of Introduction’ in advance of their visit. This can be generated directly through the Members’ Portal by selecting Reciprocal Clubs in the Payment & Manage Account area of the portal. Please select the relevant club and provide the dates you plan to visit. A letter of introduction will be emailed to the selected reciprocal club, together with a copy to you as the Member.

If you require any assistance with this process, please contact the VSC Membership Department at mem@vsc.co.uk, and they will be happy to help.

We are pleased to offer our members the opportunity to experience the hospitality and heritage of these iconic military clubs around the world.
