The Hilton Doubletree DTLA elevators say they require a keycard, but I have used the hotel for bookings 3 times now (with 2 more currently scheduled) and providers have never had an issue coming up to my room.

Two of my go-to’s are:

Hilton Midtown
1335 6th Ave NY, NY 10019
Massive hotel, great lobby bathrooms and multiple bars/restaurants/cafes if you get there too early and need to wait a few mins

Aura Hotel
120 W 44th St, New York, NY 10036
Low key this place was just gut renovated and it is great. I met a provider there and when I walked in, the concierge said “welcome back!”

Does anyone know if the Aura or Hilton still don’t require keycards? Or any other suggestions for NYC that have been confirmed recently would be appreciated. I used to have 4 go to hotels but now they all require keycards

Adding the Sheraton Grand in DTLA here as well. Just used it for a booking with no provider issues getting to my room.

In what sense? All of the Strip hotels are going to require you to have to meet the girl in the lobby as you need a key to use the elevators.

Okay, thanks for that input. I was just curious if that hotel would be bad for meeting up with a provider.

In Vegas security is going to be a lot tighter. At the same time no one will bat an eye seeing you with a hot woman. If you're looking for a hotel with no key elevators look off strip at Marriot/Hilton hotels, but even then it's a toss up. I do know from experience the Doubletree by the airport doesn't need a key.

They don't have keycard elevators? I know Red Rock and Sunset do so I would have assumed all Station Casinos did. Would not suggest any of the Stations properties for non locals though due to how far they are from the Strip.

It's been 5 years, but used to be my go to place. Guests could come right up, straight from parking garage.

For all the LA people i know its technically Glendale but legit .1 miles off the 134.. I just used the Glendale express and took no keycard for elevators... (confirmed 10/17/2025)

Only bad thing is you have 2 choices
Have your guest walk right past security at main entrance or sneak them in through a side door near by that takes a key card to enter

450 W Pioneer Dr, Glendale, CA 91203

For reference here's the door I mean... it leads to a small hallway with a exit door that is always open a crack(im guessing for all the cigarette smokers etc) supposed to be closed so either broken or always left open a Crack by someone.... either way you can still sneak someone in especially if you are wanting privacy long as person who checked in waves them in

Late on this but I've met providers at incalls at The Viceroy earlier this year and I didn't need a keycard to enter the building or access the elevators.

Tysons Embassy Suites was good too.

Adding more info for NOVA/DC, Sheraton Pentagon City doesn't require a keycard

However, I would NOT recommend it unless the provider already chose it. The elevator was one of the very old and slow ones, the bathroom in the rooms are a bit of a dump, and you can't really get there unless you Uber. Not a terrible hotel but Viceroy and Tysons Embassy Suites are still my go to recs for NOVA.

Embassy Suites Crystal City is sadly keycard only now

NYC
If you are looking to impress somebody and you have a high budget…The Mercer in SoHo. No key card required, and it is swanky and sexy as fuck.

Sleeper picks… Hyatt Grand Central and Prince Kitano. Super convenient for anyone commuting from Grand Central/Midtown and no key cards!!

More options off the top of my head… Hilton Midtown, Muse Hotel, Aura Times Square, Hotel Elysse, Empire Hotel

LA:
The Regent $$$$$
The Viceroy Santa Monica $$$ Both are beautiful and no key cards required!! Plus, the viceroy is usually available on dayuse

More recommendations in LA:
Hyatt Regency in Westlake, Chamberlin WeHo, Montrose Beverly Hills
Near LAX: Marriott LAX, Hilton LAX
