Located in downtown Raleigh on the penthouse levels (28th and 29th floors) of the Wachovia Capitol Center, the Cardinal Club incorporates all of the elements of a fine social and dining Club.
The Club offers a luxury that is at once refined and comfortable, providing a gracious extension of Members' homes. Members can conduct their social and business affairs at the Club while enjoying consistently superior cuisine, vintage wines and attentive, personalized service.
With a full calendar of special Member events, concierge services and special birthday and anniversary gifts, the Cardinal Club's many offerings are an asset to its Members. Membership to the Cardinal Club is by Invitation, and the overall membership roster will be limited to a number deemed appropriate to ensure optimal enjoyment by the Members. All memberships provide equal privileges to spouses, and may be owned by an individual, corporation, or firm.

Cardinal Club Mission Statement:
The Cardinal Club provides an elegant gathering place for North Carolina's business and social communities. As a respite from a busy world, the Cardinal Club's atmosphere encourages Members to enjoy family and friends, foster new relationships and expand personal and professional horizons, all in a world-class setting of comfort, privacy and uncompromising quality. As an integral part of its community, the Cardinal Club is committed to Raleigh's development and prosperity and to being the employer of choice in the Raleigh area hospitality industry.

Since our opening, we have pursued the vision of late developer, Edward Bagwell, to become Raleigh's premier private dining and business Club and play an integral role in the revitalization of our downtown. With a Member roster of over 1100 of North Carolina's finest citizens, the Club is a vibrant sanctuary for business and social entertaining.
We are honored to have hosted events ranging from grand balls for the inauguration of our Governor to intimate candlelight proposals of holy matrimony. We are privileged to be a significant part of the community and are appreciative of your visit.
