La França offers an expertly discreet service for couples whose wish is to rendezvous incognito. They even go so far as to receive their guests through a drive-in entrance, so the happy couple need not risk even a brief moment in public view. While not wishing to level any libelous accusations at La Fransa’s distinguished patrons, it feels safe to assume that this is a venue for the less wholesome tryst, albeit one that promises luxury conditions.

Located in Poble Sec, nearby two of Barcelona’s main arteries, Parallel and Gran Via, La França can be reached with ease, which is lucky for those who may have somewhere else to be soon after. Rooms at La França range between €42 and €100, with the option of a jacuzzi.
