Vancouver’s Upscale Love Hotel

Julie pointed me to Urban Affairs, a company that provides a variation on the grimy love hotel:

Urban Affairs provides romantic hideaways with spectacular views in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. Our discrete and beautifully appointed penthouses in this majestic city are available by the hour for your intimate trysts.

The website is kind of hokey, and only in the design firm’s portfolio, so it’s unclear whether this is an ongoing business, a design sample or a hoax.

They do provide photographs of an apartment (it looks to be on Seymour Street) which, for my money, doesn’t qualify as ‘beautifully appointed’. And the rates? $75 an hour or $100 for two hours.

I took a quick look around for a live site, and happened upon www.urbanaffairs.com, ‘your black singles community’. ‘Urban’ being a euphemism for ‘African-American’, I suppose.
