Maison Estelle, a high-end private members' club in Mayfair, London, was ordered to close by the Metropolitan Police for at least one month due to public safety concerns. The luxury venue, which opened in 2021 and charges its members an annual subscription of £4,250, offers three restaurants, ten bars, and a nightclub within a historic 1772 townhouse. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Angelina Jolie, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are among the club's patrons. The closure follows reports that a weapon was allegedly brandished outside the premises after an individual was refused entry on a busy night. Westminster City Council has suspended the club’s alcohol licence pending further investigation into "serious disorder or crime."
