To be completely flummoxed by this?

So after five dc and various challenges I am stumped by this. Dd is 22 months and has never been a reliable sleeper. Of late though has been settling well after her last bottle and goes awake into the cot and sleeps well.
We went away at the weekend and she slept in a hotel room with us so now since then she gets immediately hysterical when I put her down at night.
Tried getting her to sleep on me but it takes ages and then she woke when I put her down.
So tonight I thought I'd be a bit tougher and do a bit of cc which has always worked well with her.
Put her in the cot and before I even left the room she was up and over the bars and onto the floor. She wasn't hurt so I tried to put her in again and the same happened.
So what now? I tried standing by the side so she couldn't climb out but it just became like a fight.
I've never had a cot climber so what now?
I need to get her to sleep at night as dh works lates so poor dd1 has spent the evening alone and it's nearly her bedtime.
She is asleep on me in her room now.
I'd be so gratefull for advice.
Thanks

chattymum nice to know I'm not the only one. She does that seems sound asleep but looks up if I even move. I'm impressed that your younger dd can climb out if hr cot though. Maybe we have future Olympian pole vaulters.
ponyo hello grin I have been at a friends and had some wine so don't feel up for a fight tbh. Tonight will try the cot again but with a bag on her and a mattress next to cot so will try to settle her one more time before bed goes up tomorrow and dh can do his best.
The bed is a tiny ikea one which part sides and very low so she won't need a side. I envisage staying in with her until asleep as she really seems terrified if I leave.

DD had a phase of needing someone to be there whilst she went to sleep - I tried everything, from putting a light on, a radio, talking to her, holding her, putting her in our bed and moving her when we went to bed etc etc. In the end I just resigned myself to letting her get into our bed and staying til she went to sleep (an hour's work every night) but the phase was just that - a few weeks later and she stopped needing to go in our bed and happily said 'goodnight' and settled herself down. It was very sudden and not gradual - one night I took her into her own bedroom and she got into bed and put her head down and that was that.

So don't despair too soon - it might stop as fast as it started!

I sleep with ds on a mattress on his floor - poss tempory fix while you get a toddler bed?

Ps you could leave her once she is asleep on a mattress on the floor - I go down till my bedtime and then cosleep but you could slink off to your own bed.

Thanks yrs she has had a few phases before so hope this is one

Maddening that made me smile. Can imagine me slinking off to my bed in tired and sneaky style

Update. I did everything later so she had a bath at 8 with me then fell asleep on my lap so I wrapped her in my jumper and put her down and she is still asleep. I am enjoying my first evening for days. I have dd wrapping pressies whilst I drink wine.

She can have my worn knickers

Lovely.
