Welcome to The Lotos Club, one of the oldest literary clubs in the United States. Lotos was founded in 1870, by a group of young writers, journalists and critics. Their idea was that The Lotos Club should be different – more inclusive, more comfortable, more active and more enjoyable – than other clubs available in New York City at that time. This is a philosophy that has guided Lotos ever since. In a world of swift and unsettling change, The Lotos Club hopes to remain a small, treasured isle of tranquility and civility.

At the heart of The Lotos Club are its members.
