Pro tip: Use filters on mygayhotels.com or Booking.com to find Travel Proud properties in your destination.
Not all "gay-friendly" hotels live up to the label. Here’s how to verify inclusivity before booking:
Look for the Travel Proud badge: Displayed prominently on Booking.com and mygayhotels.com listings.
Read LGBTQ+ reviews: Search for keywords like "safe for gay couples", "trans-friendly", or "no issues with PDAs" in guest feedback.
Check the location: Hotels in gayborhoods (Le Marais in Paris, Schöneberg in Berlin, or the Castro in San Francisco) often provide a more authentic and supportive experience.
Ask questions: Contact the hotel directly to confirm policies on same-sex beds, gender-neutral rooms, or LGBTQ+ events.
