Salvatore Calabrese has found a new home in the proposed new Playboy Club in London.

Plans for the club now include a design for Salvatore’s on the ground floor, created by Calabrese together with London-based desingers Jestico & Whiles. Salvatore’s, like the rest of the club, will operate on a members-only basis.

'My vision is to create the best, most luxurious cocktail bar experience in the world,' said Calabrese. 'I am really excited to be working with LCI (London Clubs International) and Playboy on this venture and am confident that with our combined experience and reputation together we will create the ultimate bar destination in the capital.'

Expected to open in Mayfair in the first half of next year, the club will include gaming, as well as a restaurant and lounge. The original Playboy Club London was opened in 1966, closing nearly 30 years ago.
