If you’re planning a romantic tryst, Loungelover comes highly recommended. There’s something inescapably sexual about it, generating frisson like a tesla coil. Indulgent cocktails are served in an atmosphere of assorted chandeliers and lavish trinkets that breathe a decadent nonchalance here. You’d be missing the point if you didn’t snuggle up to your object of seduction, whisper sweet nothings into their ear and take frivolous liberties with their knees. Booking unfortunately compulsory, but otherwise delightful.
