festaiolo


Explanation:
Le altre opzioni mi sembrano un po' fuori luogo...
Swinger significa anche "a person who dresses in a fashionable way and who goes to lots of parties and nightclubs" (Cambridge Dict.). FOrse "festaiolo" è più appropriato e meno rischioso...

Notes to answerer
Asker: anche a me "scambisti" sembrava fuori luogo, perciò cercavo un'alternativa, ma leggendo un altro testo sempre sullo stesso hotel, mi sono resa conto che è proprio quello il significato, grazie, ciao!!

agree  Laura Pili: si, a meno che non ci siano precisi riferimenti che ti rimandano all'altro significato

neutral  Sonia Hill: This is like many other words that originally had a different meaning, i.e. "gay". In a modern text "swinger" would always mean "scambista". It would be risky to use a different translation as visitors to the hotel might get a nasty surprise upon arrival
