Step back into the late 70s, a time when nightlife was electric, velvet ruled the room, secrets lived behind half-closed doors, and the most unforgettable stories began after dark.
This spring, Friends of Ellis returns with an all-new signature hotel takeover:
Two full nights of immersive atmosphere, curated spaces, stunning visuals, sensual energy, and a level of production we’ve never brought to Spokane before.
We’re transforming the entire hotel into a living, breathing world of color, texture, music, and desire. From the moment you check in, you’ll know:
This weekend is different. This weekend is special. This weekend is FoE evolving.
Where the lights glow, everything comes alive.
The ballroom erupts into a retro-modern neon disco: blacklights, bold color washes, shimmering reflections, and the unmistakable pulse of late-70s nightlife reimagined for today. Think bright neon, glowing accents, and dance-floor energy that hits the moment you walk in.
Dress to glow.
Neon colors, blacklight-reactive clothing, metallics, sequins, chrome, glitter, holographic fabrics, white outfits that pop under UV — anything that catches the light or throws it back. This is the night to stand out, shine, and let your body become part of the atmosphere.
Room hosts are encouraged (but not required) to join the vibe.
Glow sticks, LED strips, neon signs, UV-reactive décor, small disco lights — whatever you want to add to make your open door feel like its own mini-club inside the crawl.
Our professional DJ blends modern beats with disco-inspired rhythms, giving the room a soundtrack that pulls you in and keeps you moving as you meet new people, reconnect with friends, and let the weekend open around you.
Float into the glow of our nighttime pool party — UV lights on the water, music in the air, and an electric vibe that builds all night long.
The energy is bright, fun, and irresistible. The perfect start.
Behind the curtain, indulgence waits.
Saturday is the night where the sensual, elegant side of the 70s takes over. The ballroom shifts into a rich, velvet-toned lounge filled with warm light, deep colors, intimate corners, and a slow-burning, seductive vibe.
Dress to indulge.
Velvet, leather, satin, lace, deep reds, blacks, golds — anything that feels luxurious, bold, or sensual to the touch. Think upscale club energy with a 70s twist: slinky dresses, fitted shirts, dramatic silhouettes, high-shine fabrics, or dark, moody tones. This is the night to look powerful, confident, and desirable.
Room hosts can turn their spaces into intimate hideaways.
Soft lighting, velvet throws, candles (LED), gold accents, darker palettes, leather textures — anything that transforms a hotel room into a warm, seductive lounge. Rich colors and subtle shadows go a long way.
Across the hallway, our curated spaces unfold: two public playrooms, each offering their own energy, and The Chamber, a hosted B-D-S-M room for guests who want to explore kink with guidance and confidence.
Saturday builds slowly and lands hard — indulgent, intimate, and unmistakably FoE.
