If you’re a club kid who can still remember the mid-aughts heyday of the Beatrice Inn, get ready for déjà vu on the dance floor.
At the Fleur Room — an intimate, after-midnight dance destination opened by the TAO Group atop the Moxy Chelsea Hotel in March — there’s a good chance you’ll know the guy at the door, the DJ and even the couples canoodling in the corner. If that doesn’t give you flashbacks, Fleur’s ultratight velvet rope, wacky disco ball and anything-goes attitude will.
While the Fleur Room’s crowd is a mix of in-the-know out-of-towners, fashion models and celebs, the Beatrice was a sweaty, hedonistic house party for the downtown cognoscenti. From its 2006 opening in the basement of a West Village residential building to its 2009 closure for overcrowding, it drew the likes of the Olsen twins, Lindsay Lohan, Kirsten Dunst, Paris Hilton and Heath Ledger.
