HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Melanie Rose, the beloved host of Netflix’s “How to Build a Sex Room,” has been named as the host of the retail edition of the 2025 XBIZ Honors, set to take place Jan. 18 at the iconic Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood.
“Darlings, an evening where sex and creativity go hand in hand — I can’t wait,” Rose said. “I’m thrilled and excited to have been asked to host the 2025 XBIZ Honors. I cannot think of a better way than to celebrate those people who help make my job easier.”
Having worked closely with the industry, Rose spoke warmly of the connections she has fostered.
“Having met the executives of these celebrated companies over the past years, I can not only see their passion, I can also feel it,” she said. “This is a community where individuals come together to support, inspire, and grow alongside one another … with a little rivalry thrown in for good measure!”
The annual XBIZ Honors spotlight outstanding achievements in business leadership and innovation, recognizing prominent industry executive roles and presenting awards in the pleasure product and retail award categories of the annual XMAs.
Rose will bring her signature charm as she helms the stage at the XBIZ Honors awards gala on Saturday, Jan. 18, at the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
