A Look Inside The World's Most Elite Members-Only Clubs

This one's for those of you who want to schmooze where Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and Kenneth Cole relax. CORE is all about the curated lifestyle, offering its members access to an extensive network of luxury brand partners. The CORE really has everything: sumptuous dining, comfortable suites, spa and gym services, a blue chip art collection, and a never-ending list of cultural events throughout the year. Though the club is determined to provide an oasis from the often crazy New York City lifestyle, it is equally committed to creating a space for networking. Its members are top-notch innovators in all of their fields, from sports to architecture, fashion to government, finance to media. Bonus: CORE is BFFs with Capital Club and Kee, so popping over to Dubai or Hong Kong is a piece of cake. The application process is very hush-hush as well; details can only be gleaned by contacting the Manhattan institution directly. [Photo via CORE: club]
