New York City has always had its superclubs, its decadent underground scenes, its celebrity hideaways. But never before has a single venue encapsulated everything that urban nightlife can be. Until Pacha.

Pacha has the feel of a snug lounge with the scope of a grand nightclub. Its 30,000 square feet are segmented into four levels and endless high-design seating coves, surrounding an open atrium with an intimate dancefloor at its base. The look is urban swank (curved edges, glowing lights) meets Mediterranean charm (natural materials, bold colors).
Pachita, or "little Pacha," is the enclosed top floor, a separate 500-capacity lounge designed to resemble the attic of an eccentric personality.

World-renowned lifestyle brand Pacha teamed up with DJ/producer Erick Morillo to launch Pacha in New York City on Friday, December 9, 2005. This venue represents the first North American branch of the club Pacha, which was founded by Ricardo Urgell in 1967 with a single club in Sitges, Spain and the family-run business has since grown in to a global brand that encompasses more than 25 nightclubs, a hotel, restaurants, a record label, radio station, lifestyle magazine and a full-scale merchandising division.

After 36 years and 25 nightclubs, it was adream of Pacha to host a New York venue. We believe New York is the spiritual home of discos and nightclubs and we are happy to be a part of its great history," says Pacha's brand director Danny Whittle.

Located on 46th Street in Hell's Kitchen, the four-tiered, 30,000 square foot nightclub and event space is armed with the expertise of nightlife veteran Eddie Dean and features New York's only Alpha Dynacord sound system imported from Germany. Pacha is truly in a class of its own.

"I wanted this to be a club where the best DJs in the world will come to play on the best sound system in the world," says Music Director and Co-Owner, Erick Morillo. Notorious for consistently drawing unprecedented crowds to Pacha's flagship club in Ibiza, Spain, Morillo is resident behind the turntables at the NYC venue on a monthly basis.

Frequented by celebrities like Sean Combs, Tommy Lee, Naomi Campbell, Prince Albert of Monaco, and Helena Christensen, Pacha has long been a fixture on the international party circuit. New York's Pacha redefines exclusivity by featuring a private VIP floor with its own entrance and separate areas adorned with opulent décor while providing impeccable service. An ideal space for hosting an intimate event, a corporate party or a colossal celebration, Pacha will be boldly irreverent, unerringly glamorous, and eternally chic.

The name ‘pacha' comes from Spanish folklore and roughly translates to "live like a king" and New York's Pacha fully embraces that philosophy.

MORE ABOUT PACHA, THE BRAND...

Founded by Ricardo Urgell in the wake of Spain's liberation from dictator Francesco Franco in 1976, Pacha is truly a lifestyle, valuing humanism, beauty and opulence. Loosely translated as "the king's life," Pacha is about making its customers and patrons feel truly royal.

Pacha's first location was in the village of Sitges, in Barcelona, Spain. Today, there are Pachas in 25 cities – including Marrakesh, Budapest, and Rio De Janeiro – with the venue on party island Ibiza serving as crown jewel, attracting the world's best DJs and most glamorous A-listers.
