Hotel en Femme

Haven't tried it, but it sounds fun!

I like the idea, maybe one day I’ll be confident enough to try it!

effie

Yeah have with no problem. I have also booked rooms via Airbnb. I was upfront that I was a CD and would arrive male, change and go out. Never had a problem but I usually booked where no kids were in the household.

You may want to spell check that Michelle...lol

It sounds like a blast. I'm uncertain how to go about it though. Everyone wants you to pay with plastic, at least reserve a room. Bridgette doesn't have a card, any ID, or legal existence. I guess it would have to be like Michelle said, and out yourself. I guess I it wouldn't be so bad to do that. I mean I'm not out except to my wife, but the way I dress and accessorize in drab I'm barely in either. A weekend would be really nice, but only if the wife came along.

Bianca,

Your post is an ultimate dream!! That would be an awesome experience! Checking in at a hotel might be problematic without proper id. For me, being a frequent traveler, I would not want to lose the Frequent stay points for a couple of nights.

All that said, I had my "femme" week in December. Here it is how it played out. Booked a room at a Homewood Suites on the other side of town. I checked in being underdressed, wearing black boot cut pants, Chelsea boots, cute sweater under my coat. I did wear a blue satin mask. It must have been funny to see me coming in with 3 suitcases and a makeup bag! I did Get checked in, then it was girl time!

Spending 4 days with nail polish and being dressed was awesome! Full Denise mode in the evenings.During the day, I did work, which meant I would have a dress shirt on (bra and cami underneath) with heels, tights and a skirt or dress pants on too. Just had to make sure not to show my nails during Zoom meetings!

Incredible few days!

Hugs,

Denise

I have done this in the past but not recently, both with my wife and without her, by myself.  My credit cards and my IDs are all in my male name and with my male photo, never had a problem.  A couple times I would anticipate the staff getting ready to ask the question, and I would beat them to it and say, "Yes, that is my photo, and this is my ID, I am a CD and cross dressed today as a female."  I think my male voice removed any doubt.

Yes, at least twice, tho in in Caty mode in check in. But once in Caty mode, "came and went" many times in and out of the place/s. Check out in male mode cos that's "home time"

Unintentionally ... Yes I have done it. came back to my self contained apartment  in full Caty mode and could not get my keycard to open the roller shutter door to the car park. Had to get the receptionist out to do it for me...

I have a strong suspicion it made their "incident file" mentioned this for that day, cos most times these days when I'm back there, the front office manager opens the door before I drive in.!! LOL..

Spoiler alert. I do not stay in places where I have to do the dreaded "walk past reception in the lobby".

Not afraid of that, no different to walking up and down a shopping mall. Its just "easier" that way.

Hi Bianca.

Brilliant topic...

It would be nice to just say " what the hell"!!!!...and go for it...

As Bridgette said, payment and i.d. may be a problem, unless you just ....tell them!!

or how about someone being really brave after the pandemic ends...and invest in a chain of " En femme hotels"....we can go, feel safe and be ourselves without fear of prejudice...even have CD staff!!!!

....love to all, grace xxx

Hi Bianca

My advice is go for it! Obviously, at the moment that is not possible, but something to think about and perhaps plan for the future. Let me tell you how it worked the last three times we have been out. Firstly as the hotels we currently use are in Milton Keynes (UK) as they are convenient for myself and two friends, it's only an hour away and so logistically it is a lot of trouble to arrive en-femme of me, so I go in drab and quickly change once in the room. My two friends however always arrive en-femme and have never had any problems whatsoever. The hotels we use are mainstream, not the one opposite Pink Punters, incase you are wondering. We have used three different hotels, two different Premier Inn and once at Jurys Inn.

Once dressed I join my friends for a drink, the first time as we were at Jurys Inn we went to Browns Wine Bar next door to the hotel, we then returned to the hotel to get changed for the evening and met in the lobby. As we were early we stopped for a drink in All Bar One before having our meal at a lovely restaurant. So in the three nights out we have been to four different bars, two restaurants, had breakfast in the hotel and managed a bit of shopping at the Centre MK all en-femme with out no problems at all. So when you can finally get out, you go for it , you will love it!!.........

I was asked once for my drivers license to confirmm my identity for cashing a check. The caashier looked at the picture then at me. I giggled and said oh i know what you are thinking. I didnt have mymakeup on that day .

Girls, I would highly recommend giving it at least a try.  A lot of weekends I go to Amarillo for my days off, Sunday and Monday nights.  The first few times since Covid started, I left straight from work and checked in wearing my uniform and get changed and ready after a short nap.  I always reserve single with a king  sized bed.  One evening when I got back from shopping, there was a message on the room phone to please come to the front desk.  You should have seen how big their eyes got when I told them who I was.   It seems one of the maids had seem check in as male, but there were only ladies products in the bathroom and hanging in the small closet, and had informed the manager that two people were staying in the room.  The manager was from India and I couldn't convince him that the guy on my DL was me.  When dressed, I  don't look much like him.  He was going to charge me for an extra person until I just decided "screw it." and pulled my wig and glasses off to show him.

He finally accepted who I was, and since that visit, I have checked in and come and gone, and even gone down to the breakfast bar enfemme and no one seems to bat an eye now that know me.  I have stayed at the same hotel now for over a year when I visit.  Go for it, all they can do is make you check in endrab, after that, come and go as you please.  You will find most hotels very accommodating  unless you have some wild parties or disturb the other guests.  Plus, using the same hotel each trip will give you good base for all your shopping excursions.  They are hurting for business in most areas and will be glad to have you as a guest.

Hi Bianca I've never done that myself,

I don't think you would be doing anything wrong if you did do it,

It sounds like a marvellous idea something for the future I've wanted to visit lots of different places over the years but never got the chance maybe i could visit these places as Rozalyne,

I will have to start practicing my make-up skills so i can look passable for the big day,

Hugs Rozalyne x

It took me a few minutes to figure out what you girls were talking about!
