Step inside Lenny Kravitz’s eclectic Paris apartment, where global style, history, and rock star flair collide in a soulful interior masterpiece.
Lenny Kravitz, the Grammy-winning rock icon and creative polymath, has long been known for his distinctive fusion of musical styles, fashion-forward persona, and artistic sensibility. When he decided to put down roots in Europe, it wasn’t just for convenience or prestige—it was about finding a place that felt like a true sanctuary.
While searching for a modest space in the City of Light, he found something far grander: a majestic 1920s townhouse in the chic 16th arrondissement. Despite its age and worn interiors, this Paris apartment spoke to Kravitz immediately. He saw through the faded walls and cracked floors and envisioned a home that would reflect his multifaceted identity. This space would not only house his belongings but tell his story in full, unapologetic color.
The Making of a Design Masterpiece
Nicknamed “Hôtel de Roxie” in honor of his late mother, actress Roxie Roker, this Paris apartment is as much a tribute to family as it is to style. Kravitz didn’t just renovate; he reimagined. Working closely with his design firm, Kravitz design, he curated a space that feels layered with memory, meaning, and global influence.
The design narrative combines classic Haussmannian architecture with soulful details that reflect Kravitz’s African-American and Bahamian heritage. The space features personal artifacts, mid-century modern furnishings, custom pieces, and a diverse range of art, including a Warhol lithograph and photographs that line the corridor walls. It’s a home where no surface is without intention or story.
Every corner of this Paris apartment tells a tale, whether it’s a rare record player tucked into a hand-carved cabinet or a vintage camera perched on a shelf beside original scripts from his mother’s television days. The space becomes a curated gallery of emotion, history, and artistry.
Vintage Meets Global Chic
The aesthetic of the Paris apartment resists categorization. In the main living room, a 1970s Ado Chale coffee table commands the center, encircled by Milo Baughman sofas and custom barrel chairs from Kravitz design. Warm Moroccan rugs soften the setting, adding a sense of ease and hospitality.
A palette of charcoals, umbers, and soft neutrals runs throughout, giving the apartment a moody, masculine energy. Materials like brass, dark woods, natural stone, and handwoven textiles blend to create a tactile experience. Everything is built to be touched, used, and loved—not just admired from afar.
What sets this Paris apartment apart is how seamlessly it combines high and low, vintage and contemporary elements. Rare Italian chairs share space with flea-market finds. African sculptures coexist with modern art installations. Each piece has a story, a history, or a memory attached to it, creating an atmosphere that is uniquely and unmistakably Kravitz.
Kravitz describes the process as creating a “living mood board.” Rather than working from blueprints alone, he allowed the space to evolve naturally, layering textures, rearranging art, and even repainting walls until everything felt right. It’s a constant evolution, just like the man himself.
A Space Designed for Connection
At the heart of the home is a dramatic dining room, centered around a 20-foot-long Karl Springer table. It’s flanked by a rare set of Africa chairs by Afra & Tobia Scarpa—design classics that bring sculptural beauty and balance to the room. Kravitz is known for its entertaining atmosphere, and this space is tailor-made for gatherings of creatives, artists, and old friends.
The dining area is not just about function—it’s about storytelling, culture, and community. Candlelight bounces off antique mirrors, while the table is often layered with textured linens, vintage ceramics, and pieces collected from his travels. It’s more than a dining room; it’s a stage for connection and celebration within the Paris apartment.
Whether hosting a spontaneous jam session, a poetry reading, or a long Sunday brunch, this space always feels alive. It adapts, just like its owner, to the rhythm of life and creativity.
The Chaufferie: A Private Underground Lounge
One of the most unexpected features of Kravitz’s Paris apartment is located in the basement—a transformed boiler room now known as “The Chaufferie.” Inspired by speakeasies and private clubs, this hidden lounge feels more like a secret bar in Berlin than a room in a residence.
Low-slung velvet banquettes, dim lighting, Parisian bistro tables, and a massive German disco ball suspended from the ceiling create a moody and mysterious atmosphere. A professional-grade sound system brings the space to life for private jam sessions or intimate gatherings. It’s the kind of place where time slows down and the rest of the world disappears.
With vintage posters, moody lighting, and curated playlists spinning through hidden speakers, this room is Kravitz’s escape within an escape. A true retreat for a rock star soul.

A Home Filled with Emotion and Memory
For Kravitz, this Paris apartment isn’t just a reflection of his aesthetic—it’s an embodiment of his life story. Throughout the home, objects carry emotional weight: a portrait of his grandfather, a pair of James Brown’s boots, instruments used during legendary recordings, and artwork gifted by fellow artists.
These items transform the apartment into more than a stylish residence. They give it soul. They remind visitors—and Kravitz himself—that a home should not only look beautiful but feel alive. This emotional authenticity permeates every corner, from the soaring ceilings to the intimate nooks.
In many ways, the apartment acts as a living memoir—each room a chapter, each piece a sentence in a much larger narrative of love, loss, music, and freedom.
