"The Golden Cat ... A bathhouse for aristocrats. Little better than a cursed brothel."
—Teague Martin
The Golden Cat is a pleasure establishment in Dunwall, part brothel, part steam-house, and part burlesque parlor. It is the primary location of the mission, House of Pleasure.
While the Golden Cat was temporarily closed due to a plague infestation and the building has yet to be fully cleaned,[1] it reopens by the time Corvo escapes imprisonment in Coldridge.[2] He later travels to the brothel to assassinate the Pendleton brothers and retrieve Emily Kaldwin, who is being held there in secret by Hiram Burrows and his associates.
A steam-room can be found on the underground level, adjacent to a fish pond. The courtesans perform their duties on the upper floors of the establishment, in the private suites. Smaller, less opulent rooms in a different wing of the building serve as the courtesans' dormitory.
Trivia
Red lamps next to the doors of the private suites indicate if a room is currently occupied.
