I finally found my way in the most exclusive nightclub in New York right now: Boom Boom Room, hotel mogul Andre Balazs’s latest signature. This place is so exclusive, no matter what you look like or how much money you have, you need to be on that damn list. After being eye-scanned by Mima, the über selective door girl, I jumped into the elevator and pushed the 18th floor button. The first thing I saw was a breathtaking 360-degree views of Manhattan and Jay-Z and Beyoncé canoodling on one of the leather banquettes. This place is definitely the hottest spot in town.
The club sits atop the new Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District. No doubt why it’s so strict, the club is filled every night with celebs like Madonna, Penelope Cruz, Jude Law, Bon Jovi, Lindsay Lohan and Josh Harnett, since its opening two months ago ( Picture gallery here). The place was even nicknamed the new Studio 54.
Why all the hype? Well, the place is pure awesomeness. The room has a 70′s retro-futurist vibe, thick beige carpet all over (in a bar?), cream-colored leather banquettes, golden fireplaces, a triangular hot tub in the middle, waitresses dressed like flight attendants and waiters with handlebar mustaches. There is even floor to ceiling windows in the bathrooms (forget privacy). I saw Jay-Z waiting for his lady in the bathroom, what a gentleman. The room is surrounded by narrow smoking balconies with glass floors. Vertigo guarantied. One thing, there is a price for such exclusivity, the cocktails are $20 each. Ouch. Anyhow, Boom Boom Room, I’ll be back.
