The Downtown Clubhouse

The University Club's downtown clubhouse was formerly the home to the St. Paul Athletic Club. This building's architectural features are beyond compare: marble floors, elaborate plaster ceilings, beautiful spacious rooms and spectacular windows. Click on any of the images to enlarge them.

Lobby 3



Lobby 2 The LOBBY
Reminiscent of the grand hotel lobbies of the early part of this century, the Downtown University Club foyer boasts a magnificent wood-burning fireplace, marble floors and columns, and a new full service bar adjacent. The lobby, the other areas of the building, is furnished with period and antique furnishings. See more photos and a QuickTime VR here.
Grill GRILL BAR
No club would be complete without a grill bar! Beautifully crafted English oak paneling, decorated plaster ceiling and period light fixtures reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts period. Well suited for business meetings (for up to 100 people) or social functions of all kinds.
Ballroom 4 GRAND BALLROOM
The third floor main dining room, painstakingly restored to its original (1917) appearance, features an intricate ornamental plaster ceiling, dark marble walls, and tasteful appointments you've come to expect from the University Club. Far and away the most impressive features in this room are the perfectly restored two-story windows. Covered up during the energy efficiency mania of the 70's, these magnificent arches allow both south and west exposure granting natural light throughout the day. For up to 400 people. See more photos and a QuickTime VR here.

OAK ROOM
Located on the second floor (with easy access to the skyway), this also serves as the members' private dining room during the lunch hour.
