Before you go
- Arriving
Check-in is typically quick and well-organized; arriving around 8:30 PM or later gives you time to settle before heading to evening events.
- Privacy
Discretion is essential—do not share photos, identities, or personal information of other members without their express permission, and event locations must not be disclosed to non-members.
- First visit
Introduce yourself and initiate conversations with other attendees rather than waiting to be approached, as experienced couples often socialize mainly with their existing friends; the party floors and ballroom are good places to start mingling.
- Dress code
Only designated areas are clothing-optional; public areas like lobbies and hallways require appropriate attire, but guests typically wear sexy club wear that can be removed in designated party spaces, with some undressing further as the night progresses.
- Facilities
Events typically include a gym, pool (seasonal weather permitting), ballroom, bar areas, mixer events, and multiple floors for socializing and play; the elevator is sometimes disabled on purpose to encourage people to use stairs and socialize.

About Open Instincts
Open Instincts hosts private, invitation-only weekend hotel takeovers for adults 21+ in the greater Atlanta area, with events typically held at premier hotels in nearby towns like Roswell and Sandy Springs. The club's own website says they emphasize connection, respect, and discretion in a welcoming resort-style atmosphere with themed parties, poolside socials, evening entertainment, and multiple floors dedicated to socializing and play. A typical night involves arriving at check-in, mingling at mixers and in common areas, exploring the party floors (usually the third floor), and moving between the hotel's ballroom, bar areas, and hallways where guests mingle in various states of dress—with midnight often bringing a shift toward more undressed attendees in lingerie. The events suit couples of all experience levels, from curious newcomers to seasoned lifestyle enthusiasts, as well as single women, though reviewers note that experienced attendees often arrive with their own friend groups, so newcomers should be prepared to initiate conversations. Overall, Open Instincts receives consistent five-star praise for thoughtful organization, welcoming community, themed décor created by dedicated volunteers, responsive management, and the genuine care the team puts into creating a safe, inclusive experience.
- Who goes
- Mostly couples from the Atlanta region and beyond, ranging from late twenties upward, with a mix of first-timers and experienced lifestyle participants, plus single women.
- How opinion has moved
- Reviews consistently praise the events across a four-year span from 2022 to 2026, with no decline in quality or enthusiasm evident over time.
What guests love
- The entire third floor is transformed with creative, themed decorations put together by dedicated volunteers who spend their own time and resources to make each event immersive and unique.
- The owners and staff go above and beyond to solve any problems quickly and show genuine care for guests' comfort and experience.
- The community is exceptionally welcoming and accepting of all attendees regardless of appearance or background, with easy conversation and genuine connection-building throughout the night.
- The parties are very well-organized with excellent music, good food and snacks, security measures like wrist-band entry to party floors, and attention to cleanliness and maintenance of play areas.
- Summer pool parties and clothing-optional pool events offer a fun, relaxed alternative to indoor parties and are considered well worth attending.
- It is an excellent first-time lifestyle experience for couples new to the scene, with a safe, respectful, consent-focused environment where newcomers feel genuinely welcomed.
What guests complain about
- The mixer event's music can be too loud for comfortable conversation, making it hard to chat unless you find a quiet spot away from speakers.
- The hotel elevator sometimes breaks during events, which has been a recurring issue over multiple years.
- If you don't book a room on one of the main party floors, you may feel less immersed in the action, though the ballroom and common areas still offer plenty of mingling opportunity.
- The events can feel crowded, and Saturday nights may attract a larger proportion of single men, which some attendees find overwhelming.

Open Instincts takeovers vs Splash?: Would love input from folks that have attended both Open Instincts and Splash takeovers.
