Seattle’s first new private club in two decades, Club Cielo will feature a full-service gym with a spa, a bar and lounge with a large terrace boasting several fireplaces, and an exclusive wine cavern. “It’s a social club with all the services. And all you have to do is go downstairs where you can meet friends in a setting that is truly fantastic,” says Lisa Bainter, Escala’s sales and marketing manager.

"Few things seem as timeless and staid as the world of downtown social clubs, where the elite gather to dine, sweat, splash and schmooze. But a brash new kid is moving in. Club Cielo -- replete with wine cave and private theater -- will adorn the luxury Escala condo tower going up at Fourth and Virginia in downtown Seattle."
