Lenny Kravitz has shown fans a look at one of his homes, which has a private nightclub in the basement. Check out footage above.
The iconic musician shared a first look at his home as part of a new feature in Architectural Digest, showing off his home in Paris and the chic interior design he opted for.
In the footage shared by the outlet, the ‘Fly Away’ singer and guitarist shared that he had named the home “Hotel Roxie” in honour of one of his parents. “It was named after my mother because it was her dream to come live in Paris,” he explained, leading the camera crew through the home. “She wanted to retire after doing 11 seasons of The Jeffersons, and she never got to do it. So I’m doing it for both of us. This place is a real gift.”
His mother, Roxie Roker, was an actor most widely known for her portrayal of Helen Willis on the CBS sitcom. She died in 1995.
For the most part, the interior took on a classic contemporary design, featuring abstract artwork on the walls and a lavish grand piano in his entry hall which he personally designed with Steinway. He also went on to share that he has lived there for 22 years, and that the real “heart and soul” of the home was in the basement, which he had converted into a full-blown nightclub to entertain guests.
Other highlights of the tour included an entire room dedicated to his mother and another room made in honour of the late boxing legend Muhammed Ali.
