Outside the door
Hedonistic rock bolthole
A subterranean concert hall and buzzing ground-floor vinyl lounge channel Pigalle's storied rock energy into an electric Paris night out.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Raw concrete ceilings meet Ottoman carpeted walls, cork headboards, and vintage amplifier switches across Studio KO spaces.
Notable
Custom wooden speakers, artisan toiletries, and tailored corduroy-clad staff cater to thirty-five boutique rooms and suites.
Notable
The 1965 rock club where Serge Gainsbourg and Mick Jagger partied returns beneath a recreated red neon.
What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
Inside, spaces reverberate with a dissonance that recalls the club’s storied clientele, as Velvet Goldmine-esque glamour rubs up against brutalist touches.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set along Rue Pierre Fontaine in South Pigalle, cabaret halls, neighbourhood bistros, and late-night cocktail bars buzz right outside the front door.
The rooms
Acoustic cork walls and pink carpets insulate each room, paired with custom Ojas speakers and glossy electric-blue tiled bathrooms.
Restaurant & Vinyl Bar
Chef Valentin Raffali serves seasonal French cooking beside diner banquettes and a wall-to-wall vinyl record collection.
At the table
The cocktail bar pours house-made tonics and signature drinks beneath a glowing spirit gantry and deep red drapery.
How it began
Opened in 1965 by dancer James Arch, the club ran suburban shuttle buses to bring young music fans into Pigalle.
