AP House NYC
I remember a couple years ago AP opening an AP House in NYC on 57th street. Is it still open and has anyone checked it out recently?

I’m not sure if it ever open...can’t find anything about it online last time I checked.
I did get a chance to visit Madrid’s AP House this past holiday...AMAZING. If you ever get a chance to visit it’s definitely a must see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It had a soft opening and then they decided against it for the time being, there's a new AP House being planned in NYC but it'll be a few months before there's news released on it.

I’ve been hoping that it would get back on their radar screen. Such a great experience.

I just tried to stop by the AP house in London as am visiting. Nope won’t even be let in as “appointment only”. Such a disappointment as these companies really keep letting down their customer base. Cant even get in the darn place!!

Not sure what you mean by AP house but I have been to the private VIP customer lounge in NY a while ago before it was open to the public, not sure if its open now. It had some nice pieces displayed, a whiskey bar, and excellent views of Manhattan.

One and the same, it’s no more. They’re working on something new now.

Seeing as he went far enough to put a graphic of an ap openwork on the tail of his airplane I think you can take his word for it

What is this like a membership club? Do you have to wear your AP to get in? Sounds weird AF

The AP House concept has my vote, I like it and see it as being true value add to owners and can only get better and more prolific over time. |

In general though, due to their locations being in places where many travel for business it also serves as a place where owners can hang out and just relax to feel comfortable. |

Ya I felt like I was insulting them trying to get in with my Speedy on in London AP House! Didn’t bring my AP on the trip but I was genuinely interested in just checking out the place. Prime real estate in London to have a “store” that really isn’t a store.. but I guess they can afford it!

Once the concept takes hold and AP somewhat tell us all what the 'rules' are then it'll be really cool and that way no-one will feel offended when they are turned away on a 'drop-in' basis. If in doubt call ahead, else risk a drop-in, but don't be offended if they can't accommodate you as they may be dealing with other clients. I'm sure other AP House's are similar, but AP London has one large area that can accommodate parties and luncheons etc, but it isn't private if there are two sets of clients in. However, they do have another area 'the library' that is annexed to the large area that they can close the doors and make that private, so in reality AP London could entertain maybe three clients at most in somewhat privacy at a time. Hence their policy of calling ahead and making sure they can entertain you. |

I've been to the Madrid AP HOUSE and it's pretty much that, a Lounge for VIPs and a pretty much a place to talk AP...

Here you go folks, I didn't want to post before since it wasn't open to the public yet at the time about a year ago. Again, I am surprised it's being redone as it it looked ready to go and was very nice. There's another pic where you can see the whole thing with the pool table but there's some folks in the pic.

I managed to attend the AP house NY. It’s probably worth mentioning it was also their Corporate office as well. Anyway the whisky was really nice and the dining table doubles as a pool table.
