About Our Club

For more than 150 years, Arlington Club has served as a social retreat for civic-minded leaders with a shared passion for community. Our membership is composed of men and women, philanthropists and businesspeople, artists and technologists, investors and innovators. Nestled in Portland's thriving Cultural District, our clubhouse serves as a convening point for movers and shakers from all walks of life, offering opportunities to bond, dine, entertain or simply retreat from the demands of daily life.

Our Roots Run Deep

Arlington Club was founded on December 9, 1867, by a group of 35 Portland business and community leaders. Their purpose was to create an enduring institution that would provide a comfortable environment where they could come together to relax and enjoy each other's company, as well as serve as a meeting place for members to discuss issues of civic interest.

Our History

Arlington Club is located in the heart of the city, surrounded by visual and performing arts venues (the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Portland Art Museum and Oregon Historical Society, to name just a few), multiple parks, and a plentiful selection of Portland's world-renowned restaurants. Walk in any direction and you'll almost immediately run into something interesting — Portland State University to the south, the Providence Park stadium to the west, the renowned Powell's City of Books to the north, and the core downtown business district and waterfront to the east.

Access to the club is easy, and ample parking options are available in the vicinity, including valet parking at a nearby garage. The clubhouse is just 16 minutes from Portland International Airport.
