Sydney’s renowned Ladylux nightclub has reopened its doors with a chic new look and a complete makeover that has seen everything from the custom made carpet to the dance floor completely reimagined.
Scott Bayly opened Ladylux in 2003 and ran it successfully for 5 years where it became well known for its seductive nature, friendly atmosphere and eclectic music.
After a successful run, Ladylux closed for a serious renovation overseen by Owners Scott Bayly and David Freeman and entails a new look as well as a reinvigorated food and beverage offering. “We opened Ladylux six years ago and it’s been a fantastic venue. We wanted to create something new without losing what gave Ladylux its great vibe,” said the owners.
David Freeman, who has come on board recently, wanted Ladylux to be a space that works on several levels, “We’ve designed the lounge area and VIP room to have a more sophisticated style, where people can enjoy fine wines and catching up with friends. The dance floor and DJ area have a more underground New York club feeling where people can really experience the music – our DJ line up is going to be a big part of our offering with international acts lined up all through the summer.”
Noted Sydney designer Thomas Bucich (Wildfire, Ocean Room) was approached by Scott and David to create a fresh new look. “The owners asked me to design a new more upmarket, lush version of the longstanding venue. In these times of doom + gloom, our clients are looking to create a new environment that exudes sexiness + luxury.”
The club will be repositioned to attract a more sophisticated clientele. “The interiors will be a lush mix of Baroque meets James Bond. I’ve designed the interiors to be a bit ‘futuristic-retro’ – ala 1960s James Bond. This sleek architecture will collide with rich Baroque colours, platinum and walnut finishes and the exclusivity of super-scaled baroque hand painted wall finishes by my favourite Sydney decorative painter Mark Stanford.”
New features in the club include a custom designed Piranha tank, custom one off carpet incorporating the Ladylux logo, an exclusive upholstered Absolut members room, a Tanqueray Martini Bar, a focus on wines with champagne provided by Bollinger, state of the art technology and finishes all presented in a lush environment.
Ladylux will be open everyday from 6pm and with an extensive wine list, freshly shucked oysters, antipasto and cheese platters served every evening, Ladylux is the perfect place to ease the stress of the day and slip into the evening in style.
