Everything about La França is discreet – from the plain-Jane entrance that reveals nothing of the property’s purpose to the black-out curtains that hang in the car park – to make this one of the most luxurious couples’ retreats in the city. But this isn’t just any dirty weekender; in fact, it’s more style than sleaze inside with interiors courtesy of Barcelona-based design firm Lázaro Rosa Violán. Expect sumptuous fabrics, high-gloss surfaces and every creature comfort any hush-hush tryst could ever need. There are even Jacuzzis and mirrors above the beds in some suites for the more adventurous among you.
