“World’s Smallest Country” Club Now Renovated for Big Time
The San Marino Club is one of the most exclusive in Detroit. You can only join if you were born in San Marino, the smallest republic in the world, or descended from someone who was.
You can, however, take advantage of one of the best banquet facilities in the area, where members demand old-world quality and service. They’ll also share their unique ambience for conventions and business meetings.
When the Club was renovated recently, the firm of Art-Harrison of Birmingham was chosen. The designer’s other local clients include former Pistons star Joe Dumars, and Niemann-Marcus.
“There were so many strong features in the Club to build on—the huge lobby, the stone fireplace, the enormous skylight, the marble floor—we only had to find a common thread,” says Barry Harrison, who teamed with Arturo Sanchez for the renovation.
