PARIS' LES BAINS REOPENS

After an intensive four-year restoration, Les Bains is back under the Paris spotlight thanks to its new owner, filmmaker Jean-Pierre Marois. With 39 hotel rooms, a restaurant, a club and a concept store, Les Bains has maintained its heritage and façade while the legendary pool in now adjacent to a steam room and spa.
Opened in 1978 as Les Bains-Douches or luxury bathhouse, in the Eighties and Nineties, it boasted a loyal and glitzy following that included Andy Warhol, Grace Jones, David Bowie, Robert De Niro and Mick Jagger, plus Carla Bruni, Farida Khelfa and Naomi Campbell. In the late Nineties, DJ David Guetta became a fixture.
Today, it’s back on the fashion radar with the likes of Nicolas Ghesquière, Olivier Rousteing, Raf Simons, Riccardo Tisci, Kris Van Assche and Kim Jones all flocking regularly. As someone once said, “What happens in Les Bains stays in Les Bains”. Naturally.
