Gay hotels and resorts
Gay hotels (and str8 friendly ones) are great places to meet new people and make friends during your holidays. In the "old days" we often took a gay hotel only to skip the hassle of explaining we wanted a double bed at check in.
Now this has become so much easier. And gay hotels now often focus on design and hosting social events at the pool.
We compiled a list of about 50 gay hotels and resorts around the world. Some are gay only, some str8 friendly.
