Attended a seminar here, partial dinner included.very good waitress service. Huge chicken breast- juicy, served with steamed vegetables and potatoes. Water only, as even to purchase no other beverages were offered. Very good looking building- kept up quite well.

Always a special time at this picturesque venue. Food is excellent, service is top notch. I could come here everyday.

Came with friends from another club, we were greeted graciously. Went to dining area to sit and as I walked in a nurf ball came falling/sailing over the top of my head. Scared me a bit and threw me off a bit. Seriously? Kids playing in the bar area restaurant with absolutely no control over these "Free range"kids, from their lazy parents. (Kid we threw the nurf ball came to apologize for scaring me, which was nice and appreciated. Unfortunately, at a club like this, the kids are used to being out of control, since they know that no one dares to reprimand them. The whole evening dinner was spent watching this circus play out. Parents, have some guts, put down your drink and be conscious of others who are attempting to enjoy their food also. Or better yet take you and your kids to McDonalds!!!! We could tell the wait staff was at their wits end, everyone trying to carry their trays without tripping over one of the kids! I hope the pay and tips are worth the aggravation. There have got to be better venues to work!!!!

The staff is very personable and they give you an experience like no other. They host some amazing events and Mothers day brunch. They offer a amazing Adult learn to sail program that gives you some great tips to use. This place is always decorated so beautifully. Make sure you visit the Marine activity center. This is a wonderful club and very welcoming. You can always know your getting the full Grosse Pointe experience here. Please note... you must be a member to get in. But if you already are you know exactly what I am talking about. From the service to the staff giving you a experience. It has earned a solid place in my book.

We have been boating for many years, traveling to many yacht clubs around the Great Lakes. This gives me a bit of a different perspective of the facility. The docks are difficult to access with a lot of current, only one staff member to assist us. After a long day of sailing we went to take our showers. My husband had no issue, the men's locker room had four nice showers. The women's only two, one with a torn plastic curtain. I never did get to use the shower as it was filled with tweens washing each other's hair. I asked if there were other facilities for dockers and was told no. As I stood in the hall waiting, one man made a snide remark about "always waiting for women". I suggested it was probably because there were only two women's showers compared to the four for men. He just laughed and said "we're an old club". An old boy's club would have been more accurate. The boat which is named "Old Money" was an accurate welcome to the club. They have old money because they don't believe in spending it equitably on the women's facilities. The food was at least editable.

Gorgeous place. You have to be a member or be able to sneak in on a family member's name (as we do). Weddings and special events here are beautiful. The Sunday brunch is a smorgasboard of deliciousness ranging from eggs to salmon to waffles to shrimp and crab to a whole room devoted to desserts. Dress codes are strictly enforced (no jeans, jackets required in the main ballroom). Prices are steep and all charges are added to the member's monthly bill. In the summer the pool is an oasis, though a crowded one. The dress code for the outside bar and grill is obviously much more relaxed, and they serve killer hummers.

One of my best friends was married at the GPYC, and there's a few things I thought about it. First, yes, you really couldn't ask for a more elegant setting for a wedding... except for the surrounding dock. Of course this would seem obvious (since it is a Yacht Club... right?), but not until we were behind the building was it visually apparent that this gem was multi-tasking as both a marina AND a catering facility! But still, there's a great arch on the dock where my friend and his wife had pictures taken; in the photos, it looked like they were out at sea, a really beautiful backdrop if you can get a skilled photographer who can work around the yachts. I can't say much about the food, because the bride and groom opted to have Andiamo come in instead of using GPYC facilities, so anything I'd have to say should be directed elsewhere. But the bartenders were staffed by GPYC. I can say they made the tastiest martini I've ever had at a wedding (and in the Pointes that's no surprise), and were more friendly (albeit, professional) than I expected them to be. The room we were in was absolutely gorgeous. The tables were set elegantly, the cloth chair covers matched the table coverings... I really can't describe it. You know what silverware and plates look like when you go into a diner? Think of the exact opposite of that... and that's GPYC.

The Grosse Pointe Yacht Club is one of the best kept secretes of the Metro Detroit area. Located on Lake St. Clair in beautiful Grosse Pointe Shores the Yacht Club is clearly visible when driving up Lakeshore Dr. from the other Grosse Pointe Communities. The Belle Tower is hard to miss from a distance and is a easy reference point for boaters on the lake to navigate back into shore. Amenities of the club, besides the marina itself, include a bowling alley open from September until May, several clay tennis courts, two lighted paddle tennis courts and a sailing center with a large fleet of club owned sail boats. The club has 3 restaurants: The Spinnaker, The Binnacle Room and the Main Dining Room. The main ballroom can serve food as well. The Main Dining room is clearly a wonderful to take someone special for a night that they will remember. The windows provide adequate sunlight and a wonderful view of the lake to offer you and your significant other a night to remember. The Binnacle is overlooks the Yacht Club's pool at Lake St. Clair and is perfect for Breakfast and Lunch. Catch a glimpse of the boaters out on the lake and the beautiful Sun making its way up. Spinnaker is a good place to come if it's Fall or Winter since there is a beautiful stone Fireplace which offers a beautiful setting during dinner to strike up a good conversation. The club also features out door tennis courts as well as two heated tennis courts with what they call a 'warming up' room to come in from the brisk air. I have not been to the bowling alley but have herd that it is a lot of fun and they do offer leagues. Membership is a bit pricey and I am not sure on all of the rules, I get in as a guest with a friends family. There is a dress code for the club as well as the restaurants so visit the website for all information.

Definitely not for weddings. Staff seemed clueless, broken glass on the dance floor was ignored then poorly cleaned. Venue treats vendors like crap.. would you like your photographer / videographer / DJ treated like second class ? These are just the people entrusted with your once in a lifetime memories!

  • From the Collection

The Grosse Pointe Yacht Club (GPYC) dates to 1914 when 25 men formed a club to pursue their interests in ice boating and sailing on Lake St. Clair. The clubhouse was designed by Guy Lowell, a Boston architect and yachtsman, and was dedicated on July 4, 1929. Its Italian Renaissance façade with its 187 ft. bell tower is a well-recognized landmark to boaters around the lake, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.

In 1997 the GPYC was named the “Number One Yacht Club in America” and is still considered among the best. The GPYC provides all the traditional amenities of a classic yacht club, including an Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis and bowling facilities, as well as elegant dining rooms and ballroom. Boating members enjoy the GPYC’s central location on Lake St. Clair and the club maintains a spacious deep-water marina with a private gas dock.

The GPYC maintains membership in the Detroit Regional Yachting Association and holds two annual DRYA-sanctioned sailing regattas each year in addition to numerous other sailing-related events and programs, such as an adult sailing school, exclusively for its members.

Despite the region’s recent struggling economy, the club continues to boast more than 900 members and over the years the architectural integrity of Lowell’s original design and the spectacular view of Lake St. Clair have been meticulously preserved.

Great place to spend weekend outside city

It's definitely one of the best in the out-of-city area. Short distance drive from the city, fresh air and well cared area, tasty food, good service, rooms renovated. Rooms sound protection is excellent which is not so common... Agree with one of the previous reviews - go for a Studio instead of standard room, as standard is too small and may make you feel prisoned. The area is big enough for a walk, but not really huge: a vast space is given for golf fields, and you're of course not allowed to walk there. A small beach area is ok - with both grass and sand. There's also a small pond, and although there's a sign "not to swim" we did it at our own risk from the boat (and so did many others), which was fine. Perfect place for a weekend relax, but keep in mind it's overpriced like everything around Moscow. Food is great but expensive - so I took some wine & cheese from home, to save on room service. More

The name of this "Country Club" is misleading. It is NOT IN MOSCOW. It is in a suburb almost an hour and a half from the airport and an hour from Red Square. The location was so remote our cab driver could not find it. Keep in mind also that you will be spending lots of time in Moscow's horrible traffic at all hours coming to and from here. There is nothing, I repeat nothing else in this area except a frozen golf course. The rooms were average and outrageously priced at $250 a night. Staff were not especially friendly or accommodating. The "breakfast buffet" consisted mostly of pickled fish, meat, cheese and bad coffee. Unless you are a golfer and it is the summertime, this is definitely NOT a lodging option for doing anything in Moscow, or anything at all for that matter.

Thank you for your response. The name - "Le Meridien Moscow Country Club" contain information that our resort locates in Moscow region, not in Moscow. We provide all details about our location on the our web site. We very much appreciate that you have taken so much time and trouble to give us such detailed information about this incident as constructive criticism, like yours, is always most welcome since it helps us ensure that we offer the services and standards that our discerning guests so rightly expect in any Le Meridien Hotel or Resort around the world. Once again thank you for your kind understanding and, in closing, we look forward to welcoming you back to the Le Meridien Moscow Country Club

This hotel is located not in the Moscow but in its suburb so it is not suit for those who have some business in the city. But for weekend this place is extremely comfortable and convinient. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable and well equipped with bath and other facilities of 5-star hotel. You can enjoy large swimming pool and some different saunas. Breakfast. launch and dinner are quite good. The whole atmosphere is relaxing.

Thank you for having taken the time and trouble to write response! We look forward to welcoming you back to the Le Meridien Moscow Country Club in the not too distant future.

Stayed here 5 weekedns in a row from middle of June till middle of July 2010 for leisure Most of the rooms have undergone renovation and look very nice and cozy (I know what I am talking about as I stayed here 2 years ago and it was all earlier reviews were complaining about, but not now). The bulk of them are "studios" which in reality are more like junior suits with a nice sitting area. Recoomend you go for this type of room when you book as "standards" are half the size of "studios" and are not much cheaper. Unfortunately all rooms are smoking, but the staff was very helpful in letting me look at several studios untill I found the one without any smoke odor (this was provided during all my stays if I askd for it!). For me the biggest highlight of this hotel is their big size indoor swimming pool which opens up into a spacious terrace for sunbathing with sunbeds and chairs and a view on wooded alley and loans with flowers. They have several restaurants which offer indoor and outdor dining. My favorite was the one at the golf club, its outdoor terrace, but recently they put an ugly plastic curtain to seperate members' area from where non-members can sit. Apart from being ugly it destroyed the view on the golf course. Sports snackbar is actually a full style restaurant, also has an open terrace and best air conditioning inside (great if you got too much sun). An harp plays during beakfast (from around 09 am till 11 am on weekends) in the main restaurant and the choice of food is really wide (smoked salmon was my favorite). One secret about food that I myself learned about only last weekend. If you are on a budget you can go to a staff canteen which also serves guests. I checked it out. No thrills, frills, veiws or harps. Basic self-service, but lunch or dinner will cost you from three to ten US dollars. I do not play golf, so no comments on their 18 hole golf course except that the scenery is very beautiful. A 4 kilometr (around 2.4 miles) pedestrian/bicycle path goes around it trough a pine, berch and fur tree wood and at times you feel like you are in the middle of Siberian taiga: these trees are really mighty, healthy and magnificent. And what an inspiring fragrant fresh wooden scent! On hotel's territory there is plenty of other things: a big pond where you can swim (not fo me) and take a boat ride, a sand beach, volley ball, tennis, basketball and playground for chidren. A night club offers karaoke. There is also a spa with Gurlain treatments. Highly recomend this hotel for those who want to spend a relaxing weekend or week in comfort near Moscow. But check first if they have any corporate parties on the dates you plan to come. There were a couple when I was there and it did not bother me at all. However, I heard that sometimes these could be events for up to 3,000 people. This could be a differnt story.

This hotel is located outside Moscow in nice relatively fresh-air location. It has one of the few nice golf courses in Russia. Otherwise, nothing special...

DO NOT stay at this hotel unless you really have to. I stayed at the country club for 2 nights for a conference, luckily the company paid the entire stay but it was still a big disappointment. The rates are really overpriced considering what you get. My company had to fork out a ridiculous amount of money to organise this conference and received no help whatsoever from the staff. We had to set up the conference room and even move chairs around. I can think long and hard but I don't have anything positive to say about this hotel. I was staying in a delux room which was really spacious and the decor was ok but I have seen what the standard rooms look like and they are quite simply apalling. Scratches on the walls, dated furniture, boiling hot, beds you sit on and your bum ends up on the floor, you name it. I would be interested to know how they got a 5-star rating... The things I hated the most: I found hair in my food, the building looks like a council estate, the staff don't speak English at all, wifi internet was expensive and very unreliable, it takes about 3 hours by taxi to get there from Domodedovo and 3000 ruples. The chairs in the conference room and restaurant are stained and dirty... I won't be rushing back!!
