Founded in 1977, The Bay Club Company (“Bay Club”) is the owner and operator of twenty five+ locations across multiple active lifestyle campuses throughout California. Bay Club welcomes more than 90,000 members with innovations such as the 77 Social Club, Connect business suites and Sanctuary Spas along with world-class sport activities and numerous resort-level amenities. Both the innovations and amenities have helped solidify the Company’s position in the hospitality space. Throughout its history, the Bay Club has maintained the highest standards of professional service, earning a reputation as one of the leading private club companies in the United States. The company currently employs approximately 3,000 people and is headquartered in San Francisco, California<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As president and CEO, Mr. Matthew Stevens oversees the $200 million business and its portfolio of 25+ clubs and sports resorts in multiple active lifestyle campuses throughout California. Under his stewardship, the Company has created various new products, acquired more than 15 properties. In 2014, in partnership with York Capital Management, Mr. Stevens successfully spearheaded the purchase of the Company from KSL Capital Partners. By holding its own capital, this generative ownership has allowed the Company to take a longer-term view of the business and better serve its members.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
