A little bit rebel, a little bit refined, Clayton is smart and sophisticated, charming, and confident, and always down for shaking up the status quo. Consistently moving the needle on what a membership club can be, Clayton demonstrates a unique spirit, constantly challenging what it means to gather and engage while connecting guests to each other and what inspires them. Clayton believes the more interested you are, the more interesting you are!

Clayton Members Club & Hotel is managed by Aparium Hotel Group which was founded in 2011 by Chicago hospitality executive and entrepreneur Mario Tricoci and luxury hotel veteran Kevin Robinson. The duo saw a clear need for a company that could bring c-suite service and accommodations to underserved, yet distinct and important cities while maintaining and celebrating the unadulterated character of each. Driven by the belief that all hospitality experiences should be fueled by the poetics of their surroundings, Aparium was born with an intense focus on unearthing the amazing moments unique to every city.

Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically. It is a sophisticated hotel brand known for its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels. At Clayton, the ideals of Opportunity, Equity, and Inclusion (OEI) for our members are at the forefront of the community and the environment we will create.
