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 and has reopened to seduce the public with a new level of sophistication and style.
Owners Scott Bayly and David Freeman worked together to oversee the renovations. Scott
Bayly sees the venue’s transformation, which entails a chic new look and reinvigorated food
and beverage offering, as a natural evolution, “We opened Ladylux 6 years ago and it’s been a
fantastic venue. We wanted to create something new without loosing what gave Ladylux its
great vibe - designer Thomas Bucich really understood our vision and has brought it to life. It’s
great to have the doors open again and see people enjoying the results.”
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 and gloom, our clients are looking to
create a new environment that exudes sexiness and luxury.”
The club will be repositioned to attract a more sophisticated clientele. “The interiors are 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 collides 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.
