FRIENDS OF ELLIS PRESENTS
HOTEL TAKEOVERS
One hotel. One private community. One hell of a weekend.
For one weekend,
an ordinary hotel becomes something completely different.
The ballroom becomes a nightclub. Hotel rooms become lounges, hangouts, mini-parties and play spaces. The pool may come alive after dark. The hallways fill with people you actually want to meet. Games, classes, mixers, demonstrations and spontaneous adventures keep appearing throughout the weekend.
And the best part? You don't leave the experience when the party ends. Your room is right down the hall.

Exact hotel locations are provided
to registered attendees through their event information.
SO WHAT EXACTLY IS A HOTEL TAKEOVER?
THIS ISN'T JUST A PARTY WITH A HOTEL ROOM.
At a Friends of Ellis Hotel Takeover,
the hotel itself becomes part of the event.
The rooms,
hallways,
social spaces,
dance floor,
play areas,
decorated doors,
late-night conversations,
and people you keep running into
all become part of one connected weekend.
STAY ONSITENo driving home at midnight. Change outfits, recharge, grab something to drink, then wander right back into the weekend. |
MAKE IT YOURSDecorated doors, lighting, games, music, mini-bars, themes and personality turn ordinary hotel rooms into destinations of their own. |
MEET EVERYWHEREThe people you meet Friday night are the people you run into Saturday afternoon, dance beside Saturday night, and exchange numbers with Sunday morning. |
LIVE THE WEEKENDTheme parties, activities, education, dancing, social spaces, private rooms, play areas and spontaneous adventures keep the whole weekend moving. |
THE HOTEL BECOMES OURS.
People don't just sleep in their rooms.
They transform them.
These are real spaces from previous Friends of Ellis Takeovers.

THIS IS MORE THAN TWO PARTIES
THE WEEKEND STARTS BEFORE THE MUSIC DOES.
The nighttime parties may be the headliners,
but a Hotel Takeover is a weekend-long experience.
There is usually something happening somewhere,
and some of the best moments aren't even on the official schedule.
THURSDAY — EARLY ARRIVAL
GET SETTLED BEFORE THE CHAOS.
When early arrival is offered,
attendees can check in Thursday,
unpack,
get organized,
meet other early arrivals
and ease into the weekend.
Thursday is still a vanilla hotel night. The Takeover has not officially begun, so normal hotel rules, dress expectations, and public-space behavior still apply.
Think of Thursday as staging day: get comfortable, get some sleep, and wake up Friday already onsite.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON
THE HOTEL STARTS TO TRANSFORM.
Cars unload.
Doors get decorated.
Lights go up.
Profile names start appearing around the hotel.
People who have been talking in the event Discord
finally meet face-to-face.
Find your room. Meet your neighbors. Check the schedule. Set up your space. Then watch an ordinary hotel slowly become something else.

FRIDAY NIGHT
THE SWITCH FLIPS.
Theme outfits come out.
The DJ fires up.
The ballroom fills.
Doors open.
Room crawls begin.
The pool may light up after dark.
People dance,
flirt,
explore,
laugh,
and start finding their people.
Friday isn't the warm-up. Friday is Night One.
Friday isn't the warm-up. Friday is Night One.
SATURDAY MORNING & AFTERNOON
NOW THE WHOLE HOTEL IS ALIVE.
Breakfast conversations turn into friendships.
Depending on the weekend,
you may find Lifestyle education,
Swingers 101,
communication discussions,
games,
mixers,
lingerie exchanges,
raffles,
social challenges,
pool activities,
demonstrations,
BDSM education,
Dungeon Tastings
and other scheduled experiences.
And then there is everything attendees create themselves. Someone starts a game in their room. Another couple opens their door for drinks. A hallway conversation turns into six people hanging out. Somebody posts something spontaneous in Discord.
The schedule gives the weekend structure. The community fills in everything between.

SATURDAY NIGHT
THE MAIN EVENT.
New theme.
New outfits.
New atmosphere.
By now,
you know people.
You've talked all day.
You've made connections.
The hotel that felt enormous Friday afternoon
suddenly feels like your neighborhood.
Then the lights change. The music starts. The doors reopen. And Night Two takes over.

SUNDAY
BREAKFAST. STORIES. GOODBYES. RECOVERY.
Come downstairs looking considerably less glamorous
than you did Saturday night.
Eat.
Hydrate.
Compare stories.
Find the people you meant to exchange contact information with.
Clean your room.
Tip the hotel staff.
Pack the car.
And somewhere between checkout and the drive home, somebody inevitably asks: “When's the next one?”

FOLLOW THE SCHEDULE — OR FOLLOW THE NOISE
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING HAPPENING.
A Takeover isn't built around one ballroom and one schedule.
It's dozens of experiences overlapping across an entire weekend.
Pick what sounds fun.
Skip what doesn't.
Disappear for a while.
Then come back and find something completely different happening.
PARTIES & NIGHTLIFEProfessional DJ, themed ballroom parties, dancing, pool events when available, room crawls, music, lights and late-night energy. |
LEARN & EXPLORESwingers education, communication discussions, BDSM introductions, Dungeon Tastings, demonstrations and opportunities to explore something new. |
PLAY & CONNECTGames, mixers, lingerie exchanges, raffles, social challenges and low-pressure ways to break the ice and meet people. |
ATTENDEE-LED CHAOSOpen rooms, mini-parties, drinks, games, impromptu gatherings and whatever somebody decides sounds like a good idea that afternoon. |
No two Takeovers are identical.
Some activities are planned months ahead.
Others appear because somebody posts:
“We're doing this in our room. Come join us.”
That's part of the magic.
“We're doing this in our room. Come join us.”
That's part of the magic.
THE WEEKEND HAS ITS OWN BACKCHANNEL
THE PRIVATE EVENT DISCORD.
The Takeover starts before you ever walk into the hotel.
Registered attendees receive access
to a private Discord created specifically for the event.
It's where the weekend begins taking shape.
MEET PEOPLE BEFORE CHECK-IN.
THEN KEEP UP WITH THE CHAOS.
Introduce yourselves.
See who's coming.
Talk outfits.
Share room ideas.
Ask questions.
Find people with similar interests.
Once the weekend starts, Discord becomes one of the easiest ways to find out what's happening around the hotel.
“Pool in 20 minutes.”
“Come play a game in our room.”
“Dungeon Tasting starts soon.”
“Our door is open and we've got drinks.”
“Who's getting breakfast?”
The official schedule tells you what's planned.
The event Discord helps you discover what's happening right now.

FIRST-TIMERS NEED TO HEAR THIS:
You don't have to “do” anything
to belong at a Hotel Takeover.
Dance. Flirt. Watch. Socialize. Make friends. Dress sexy. Stay fully dressed. Play with your partner. Play with other people if everyone wants to. Or go back to your room, order food, and laugh about the night.
Buying a ticket gives you permission to attend the experience. It is not consent to anything sexual.
There is no scoreboard and there is no minimum level of participation.

THE SECRET SAUCE
MAKE YOUR ROOM PART OF THE PARTY.
You do not need to build a nightclub in your hotel room.
A few thoughtful details
can completely change the vibe
and give people an easy reason to stop and say hello.
|
MAKE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOCK.A blacklight, LED candles, a funny sign, a whiteboard, a room name, music, a mini-bar, conversation games, or a ridiculous amount of pineapple décor can turn a normal hotel room into something memorable. Put your profile name on the door. Give the room personality. Create something people remember. The goal isn't to impress everybody. The goal is to give people an easy reason to stop, laugh, ask a question and start talking. |
THE HALLWAYS HAVE THEIR OWN LANGUAGE.
Learn this one
and Takeovers become much easier to navigate.
OPEN DOOR = COME SAY HELLO.
An open hotel-room door generally means
the people inside are open to social interaction.
You can introduce yourself,
check out the décor,
say hello,
or ask what's happening.
It does not mean automatic permission to enter, touch anyone, join a scene, participate in sex, or treat whatever you see as an invitation.
Knock. Say hello. Read the room. Ask.
Previous consent is not current consent. Playing with someone yesterday, last month, or at the last Takeover does not give you permission to touch them today.

YOUR FIRST ONE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE COMPLICATED
FIRST TAKEOVER? WE'VE GOT YOU.
You do not need to memorize this whole page.
Prepare a little,
communicate with your partner,
and come enjoy the weekend.

TURN A HOTEL ROOM INTO YOUR HOTEL ROOM
THE TAKEOVER ROOM GUIDE.
You don't need everything below.
Pick the things that match your personality
and the experience you want to create.
Lighting & Atmosphere
Blacklights,
string lights,
LED candles,
color-changing bulbs,
rope lights
and small party lights
can transform a hotel room quickly.
Use Command hooks, painter's tape or other damage-free mounting methods.
Never hang anything from sprinklers, cover detectors, interfere with mechanical systems or use open flame.

You can survive a Takeover
with a toothbrush and a change of clothes.

You don't need to read every answer before attending.
But if you're wondering it,
somebody else probably is too.

What if one of us changes our mind?

Keep communicating and make changing your mind easy.

How do we know what's happening?
Use the official event schedule
and join the private event Discord.
The schedule covers planned activities. Discord is where you'll often see updates, reminders, room-hosted activities, spontaneous gatherings and things happening right now.
You do not need to attend everything. You probably couldn't if you tried.

Can we host our own game or room activity?
Usually, yes.
That's part of what makes Takeovers fun.
Attendees frequently create games, social activities, room themes, mini-parties and other ways to interact.
Keep it consensual, respect the hotel and event rules, and check with FoE before doing anything that affects common areas, creates significant noise, requires special equipment or affects other attendees.

Does the hotel staff know what's happening?
Yes.
The venue has agreed to host the event
and appropriate staff know
it is a Lifestyle event.
They're professionals doing their jobs. Treat them well. Respect their boundaries. Tip appropriately.
They are staff, not participants.

Does housekeeping enter our room every day?
Housekeeping procedures vary
by event and hotel.
Privacy-related adjustments
may be made during Takeovers.
Plan ahead with extra towels, trash bags, sheets and anything else that helps you maintain your room.
Plan ahead with extra towels, trash bags, sheets and anything else that helps you maintain your room.
Do we have to decorate our room?
Nope.
But even a few lights, a sign, a funny room name or a simple theme can make your space memorable and give people a reason to stop and introduce themselves.

Can people just walk into an open room?
Don't assume that.
An open door generally signals that social interaction is welcome. Knock, introduce yourself and read the room.
Entering someone's room never creates permission to touch, join, watch, participate or stay if the hosts ask you to leave.

What if we're shy?
You will not be the only shy people there.
Start small. Wear your name badges. Ask where someone is from. Compliment a costume. Ask whether they've attended before.
The advantage of an entire weekend is that you don't need to make every connection Friday night.

What if we're brand new to swinging?
That's okay.
Takeovers can actually work well for newer couples because there's time to socialize without every interaction needing to become sexual.
Read our education pages, watch the orientation video, talk with each other beforehand and attend with curiosity, not a checklist.

Can we stay somewhere else and just attend?
That depends on the individual Takeover.
Some events may offer
different registration options.
Others may require staying onsite
or purchasing a specific package.
Check the event listing before making outside lodging plans.

Why isn't the hotel location posted publicly?
Privacy.
Exact venue information is provided to registered attendees through their event details. This protects attendees, the venue and the private nature of the weekend.

What's the biggest first-timer mistake?
Trying too hard
to make something happen.
Spend Friday meeting people. Let the weekend develop. If chemistry appears, great.
If Sunday arrives and you leave with new friends, good stories and a clearer idea of what you want next time, that was still one hell of a successful Takeover.

THE VIBE IS WHAT ALL OF US BRING.
A Hotel Takeover can look effortless
when you're standing in the middle of it.
It isn't.
There are organizers, hotel staff, DJs, Ambassadors, room hosts, educators, decorators, vendors and dozens of moving parts behind the scenes.
Schedules move. Ice runs happen. Something gets forgotten. Somebody needs help.
Roll with it. Help somebody out. Tip the staff. Clean up after yourselves. Introduce the quiet couple. Say hello to the person standing alone. Be the kind of guest you'd want staying next door.
The weekend gets better when everybody contributes to it.
