A PLATINUM CLUB OF AMERICA

THE ARMY AND NAVY CLUB

The Army and Navy Club is a private, members only, Five Star Platinum Club that provides a wide range of services to members and their guests. The Club celebrates the customs of its rich military traditions while offering the facilities and amenities needed to satisfy the modern professional. It is valued by members as a showplace of timeless elegance and prestige and recognized for its exceptional dining and hospitality.

HISTORY

The Army and Navy Club traces its roots to December 1885 when seven Army, Navy and Marine Corps veterans of the Mexican and Civil wars met to form the United Service Club. In 1891 the Club was reincorporated as The Army and Navy Club, and on October 15, 1891, the Board of Governors held its first meeting. 97 years later on January 12, 1988, after an extensive renovation, the Club was formally dedicated by President Ronald W. Reagan.

Since its beginning, The Army and Navy Club has been the home away from home for the most illustrious names in America's military history. The membership roll includes top Admirals and Generals, political leaders, one of the first men to land on the moon, the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic, and participants in the first around-the-world flight, as well as Presidents, Vice-Presidents, members of Congress, cabinet officials and many others. It is, as noted in The Washington Times, truly a "haven for heroes."
