  • From Bathhouse to Backstage: The Birth of a Legend

    The tale of Les Bains reads like an urban legend. When two friends decided in 1978 to rent the venue, they enlisted the young Philippe Starck to help renovate and from that day forward an icon was born. Les Bains Douches swiftly became a celebrated institution as it heralded in a new golden age as a cultural phenomenon. The venue consisted of a concert hall, disco, restaurant, fashion temple and a seductive conclave for artists such as David Bowie, Keith Haring, Johnny Depp, and Karl Lagerfield to name but a few. Actors such as Sean Penn, Jack Nicolson and Catherine Deneuve were also known to frequent Les Bains as the club played host to the crème de la crème of international celebrity.

  • Resurrected with Flair: A Temple of Decadence Reimagined

    Until its closure in 2010, Les Bains Douches reigned supreme as the renowned sanctuary that celebrated decadence to the fullest extent. Fusing music, art, fashion and beauty, this Parisian hotspot provided an urban paradise of irresistible charm. However, in 2015 the five-year bereavement was over as Les Bains re-opened to include a restaurant, bars, private lounge, legendary club and stage. Not to mention, guest rooms and suites. When breathing new life into a legend, one must listen to the ghosts of the past. For that reason, Les Bains employed the talents of Jean-Pierre Marois to renovate the iconic venue while honouring its spirit and rich history. The new Les Bains is a multi faceted locale incorporating an eclectic array of taste for the eager trendsetter to choose from
