PARIS, Once a private bathhouse for the likes of Marcel Proust, a hotspot for the Bohemians of the Belle Époque, and a famed nightclub where Jagger and Bowie romped, Les Bains is gloriously back. Les Bains is both an homage to the heritage of its storied past and a bold new take on Parisian hospitality. Thanks to the outstanding joint work of the architects and designers Vincent Bastie, Tristan Auer, and Denis Montel, the property shines as a vibrant, connected, international clubhouse and hotel, which includes a restaurant, bars, a private lounge, a club, guest rooms, and suites. Set at 7 Rue du Bourg L’Abbé, a jewel of the historic third arrondissement, the property is ideally ensconced in Paris’ old aristocratic district, a trove of atmospheric streets and architectural splendors.

LES BAINS REBORN

THE PRESENT

When you breathe new life into a legend, you confront the ghosts of the past. Renovated with total respect for the spirit of its history, the new Les Bains presents many faces but one soul, unifying its residences, hotel, bar, club, restaurant, stage, and more. The man who directed its rebirth, Jean-Pierre Marois, puts it this way: “Our only aim was to build a nest for creative people where they are able to invent, develop, and present new trends in a safe haven.” Here, one eye is always looking to the future, while the other is acknowledging its rich past. Or as Marois notes of the building’s nightclub days, “Everybody will be pleased to find the legendary black-and-white dance floor created by Philippe Stark.”
