Notes on a Rumor: Lenny Kravitz and Andre Balazs in Eleuthera
Over the summer we got a tip that Lenny Kravitz would be designing the hotel lounge for hotelier Andre Balazs in his newest property on Eleuthera island in the Bahamas. The resort would be another in the Standard Hotel brand, built around the prefabricated Maison Tropicale house that Balazs snapped up at an auction.
Since we just spent four days on the island of Eleuthera, we thought we would be able to sufficiently update this rumor. For starters, everyone we mentioned the AB/Kravitz partnership to, from the tourism officials to hotel owners to a hotel bartender, had no clue about it. Some hadn't even heard of Andre Balazs so whatever is being planned is just that, being planned. There's nothing definitive.
However Lenny is a big part of the island. He has a house near Gregory Town and frequently pops into local restaurants and local bars for impromput jam sessions. To say he's the darling of the island people is an understatement. So if he puts together anything whether it be a concert or a hotel lounge, the people would know about it right away.
We're not saying that Lenny and Andre won't team up for Eleuthera but its definitely too early to know anything.
