I plan to visit a European country where prostituion is legal. I will stay several days, visit the town during the day and have fun at night.

I have no idea how the normal proccess but, after reading this topic, I already have in mind to book a double bedroom. Besides that, are there things I can/have to do/check to avoid them to be blocked by the receptionnist? (I will book them online, I won't bring them personally from the street to the bedroom).

I don't have any experience with inviting sex workers to my hotel room, but I have plenty of experience with friends visiting me at a hotel (or vice-versa). Follow two simple rules and you'll be fine:

  1. Book at a large hotel (50+ rooms). That way the receptionist won't care too much about who's coming and going, so your "friend" will be able to enter without any issues. One can even ask the reception for where the room is located and they'll happily show them where to go.

  2. Book a room for two people. That way you're paying for two persons sharing the room at a given time so you're not cheating the hotel. If asked about the other person, say it's your girlfriend who's coming later on.

As long as you don't invite women who look like they're in the final stages of a methamphetamine addiction it shouldn't be an issue.

Strangely enough, using different keywords when searching for this topic gave different results. Searching for "sex worker hotel" gave results such as Qld laws ban sex workers from hotels, motels, about hotels in Queensland, Australia (not a jurisdiction you're asking about) being allowed to ban sex workers. However, searching for "escort hotel" gave results such as How to Pick an Escort-Friendly Hotel and The Hotel Experience.

They suggest letting the agency choose the hotel, but that may be less applicable in your case since you're staying for several days, not just a single night.

Another detail they mention is how to avoid being blocked by the receptionist. It suggests avoiding hotels that require guests to be signed in, or have a keycard to access the elevators, and if a hotel shuts down at night, be able to buzz a guest in directly, rather than checking in with a night clerk.
