The City Club of Greenville’s revitalized downtown space is ready for members to enjoy after undergoing months of renovation.
No detail was overlooked when it came to the $2 million redesign of the private business and social club located in One Liberty Square. The renovated club includes two ballrooms, a private boardroom, mini-meeting rooms and a revamped lounge with two dining areas and a bar.

Many of the club’s new design elements were chosen to pay homage to the city of Greenville – from blue and gold carpet resembling the Reedy River to wallpaper mirroring the Blue Ridge Foothills which can be viewed from the club’s 17th-floor panoramic windows.
Jim Coyne, founding partner and executive vice president of operations at BNG Hospitality, explained the new design helps bring up the club’s sophistication and make it a place members are proud to come.
“We’re finding that a lot of our members today are joining the club because they either want to meet new people or they want to expand their business portfolio and connection,” Coyne said. “We knew that we had to make it a little bit more relevant and a little bit more adaptable for everybody to use.”
Along with the renovations, City Club received a new name and brand to help bring new life to the club after 40 years in Greenville. It was formerly known as Commerce Club of Greenville.
Kimberly Loper, director of membership, explained the club has also tweaked its programming to provide an enhanced experience for members. The new event calendar features a mix of social and business networking events for members to attend, including a women in business luncheon.
“Everything about coming to the club has been looked at and scrutinized and we’re really making it more convenient, easier and more welcoming for the members,” Coyne said. “We’re really excited for the members to see it.”
Meal break
New breakfast, lunch and bar menus were created for the City Club of Greenville to include refined cuisine offerings with local ingredients. Each food menu was crafted by the club’s executive chef Addison Stone.
