XX (Hong Kong)
Following up from DarkSide, Rosewood opened XX – a bar hidden within the hotel and only open to women. This speakeasy requires a telephone reservation to enter – +852 5239 9219 if you must know – and manages to nail a feminine theme without being too on the nose. With luxe-yet-sultry decor and neat little touches like slippers for ladies looking to ditch their heels and feel at home, XX is a grown up sanctuary that’s giving women a safe space to drink, even if inevitably causing some controversy with its exclusivity. Still, it’s a thumbs up from us to safe spaces for women.
