Travel Proud Hotels New YorkWhat we call a gay hotel?
A gay hotel is more than just a place to stay. It can be a hotel specifically welcoming gay travellers, an LGBTQ+ friendly hotel, or an independent gay guest house where guests can feel comfortable being themselves.
At MyGayHotels, our selection includes different types of stays. Some are gay-owned or primarily welcome LGBTQ+ guests, while others are gay-friendly hotels chosen for their inclusive approach, location, atmosphere and overall quality. We also feature intimate guest houses, boutique hotels, luxury hotels and resorts in destinations popular with gay travellers.
We carefully select the properties featured on MyGayHotels rather than simply listing every available hotel. We look at the hotel itself, its location and the experience it can offer LGBTQ+ travellers. We also take into account Booking.com’s Travel Proud programme, which identifies properties that have taken additional steps towards creating more welcoming stays for LGBTQ+ guests.
From a gay guest house in Mykonos or a beachfront hotel in Gran Canaria to a gay-friendly boutique hotel in Paris, New York or London, our goal is simple: to help you find a hotel where you’ll feel welcome, and that you’ll genuinely want to stay in.

Our selection includes gay hotels and guest houses as well as carefully chosen gay-friendly boutique and luxury hotels.

Travel Proud is Booking.com’s LGBTQ+ inclusivity programme.
