Most/many exclusive hotels nowadays depend on your card to be active and swiped in the elevator in order for it to go up to another floor.
does anyone have any good ways of hanging out at at hotel that is exclusive?
The exclusive ones need a card in the elevator. Otherwise the doors will not close. Sometimes someone else is in it and you can just get out on their floor.
Often, even paying guests have their cards stop operating during their stay. It's happened a lot. However, if there is a rooftop pool that you are looking for, then it's more challenging.
