Formerly serving as a nightclub from 1978 onward, Les Bains Paris has now been overhauled into an upscale accommodation. Opened in 1885, the building was originally a [private thermal bathhouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/round-about-baths) owned by the prestigious Guerbois family. During its days as a hip nightclub in the 1980s and 1990s, the spot was frequented by the likes of David Bowie, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Jean-Michel Basquiat and many more. The decision to transform this historic building into a luxury hotel makes sense given that the property has always catered to the luxury market and the building's history will serve as its best advertisement. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Hotel Transformations:** Opportunities for converting iconic buildings into upscale accommodations. - **Nostalgic Nightlife Experiences:** Catering to consumers' desire for a high-end nightlife experience within a historic space. - **Celebrity-inspired Tourism:** Offering high-end accommodations and experiences that attract customers looking to emulate celebrity lifestyles and histories. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality:** The industry is presented with the opportunity to create new luxury hotel experiences by reimagining and transforming historic spaces. - **Entertainment:** Opportunities exist to offer a high-end nightlife experience to consumers looking for a unique and nostalgic experience in iconic spaces. - **Tourism:** The luxury hospitality and entertainment industries can tap into tourists' fascination with celebrity lifestyles and histories to create unique and desirable vacation experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashion-Forward Hotel Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soparis.md) - [Subterranean Social Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-vale-hotel.md) - [Mountainside-Inspired Bespoke Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouchardon-hotel.md) - [Elegantly Immersive Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-hotel-new-york.md) - [Repurposed Museum Nightclub-In-Residence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabric-london.md) - [Re-Opening Historic Nightclubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/londons-printworks.md) - [Luxe Parisian Skyline Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sax-paris-hotel.md) - [Traditional Southern-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-de-la-luz.md) - [Cozy Neighborhood Warm Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gachot.md)
