maison de passe

/ˈmeɪzɒn də pas/ UK

Where it comes from

From French maison de passe.

noun maisons de passe

A low-class hotel where rooms are rented out by the hour, especially to prostitutes and their clients. Of course in part it is due to the fact that it took place at the Princes Hotel - what the devil induced Piers to stay there instead of somewhere like the Bristol? Funds? It's virtually a maison de passe.
