Pink Palace – Melbourne, Australia

From the outside, this place looks like a small office building, until you spot the neon signs. Inside, you get mixed vibes. The bar and lounge resemble a Victorian men’s club with Persian rugs, velvet sofas, wooden bar and (of course), pool tables.

But enter the inner sanctum and you enter a mixed world that combine bordello red and gilt and classic rooms, with a touch of Greek columns thrown in. The best bargain is the 20 minute day shift service at AU$130.

At night, expect to pay $260 an hour. As these things go, the 1 hour escort service is a bargain at AU$340. No word on whether taxi fares are included.
