THE REBIRTH OF A LEGEND
The Bus Palladium opened its doors in 1965. Dalí came with his panther. The Beatles played here. Gainsbourg wrote it a song. Six decades of music, revelry and freedom, before the lights went out.
The legend reopens at last. Studio KO has redesigned the building and its interiors. Caroline de Maigret has imagined the playlists, the scents, the uniforms. Valentin Raffali has brought his signature to the table. Lionel Bensemoun has restored the club's vibe. Together, they chose to leave nothing polished.
« I see it as a mental laboratory. One of those places where an artist feels immediately inspired without knowing exactly why. »

THE RESTAURANT BY VALENTIN RAFFALI
Monday to Saturday, 7pm to 10:30pm
The finest produce, sourced close by, treated without detour. Valentin Raffali signs a tight, legible menu, where honesty of gesture meets elegance of place. Straightforward, well-travelled cooking, served before a wall entirely lined with vinyl.
Come morning, homemade breakfast for early risers and the morning-after alike. The bar runs from the first coffee to the last cocktail.
CLUB
Below ground, the beating heart of the house. A stage calibrated for live performance, an L-Acoustics sound system among the finest in Paris, a programme that is open, varied, unlabelled. Concerts, cabarets, DJ sets...
In the heart of Pigalle, Bus Palladium reimagines this legendary venue as a design hotel and events destination at 6, rue Pierre Fontaine, Paris 9th. Its rock-inspired, contemporary rooms and suites combine comfort with character. The restaurant and bar keep the energy alive. Its spaces, available for private hire, host parties, concerts, seminars, and celebrations. Heir to a Parisian musical legend, Bus Palladium carries forward the creative energy of the capital.
