616

Club 616 is a members-only lifestyle club serving West Michigan, running themed hotel-takeover events in Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, and Newaygo. Current hosts took over in January 2012, building on a group dating to the 1990s. Membership welcomes couples, single ladies, and sponsored single gentlemen; the club calls itself BDSM, kink, and LGBTQ+ friendly. Joining requires an application, photo ID, and signed consent forms. Signature parties - Red Carpet NYE, Halloween, and a spring weekend - bring a dance floor, DJ, dance pole, light show, a pool party, and a VIP room with bench swings, a St. Andrew's cross, and a ladies-only bed. A recent Halloween filled a 182-room hotel, dress shifting by zone: lobby street clothes, g-strings/pasties minimum poolside, none in the VIP room. Entry is 21-and-up, reservation-only, ID checked at registration. Consent policy bars unwanted touching; cameras banned at events.
