New York City LGBT Hotels
It almost seems stupid to write specifically about LGBTQ-friendly hotels in NYC, because all of our hotels welcome everyone and NYC takes great pride (no pun intended) in our diversity. There was actually a very popular ad once that read, "NYC: Tolerant of Your Beliefs, Judgmental of Your Shoes," which is pretty true! However, there are a few hotels that really shine when welcoming the LGBTQ community and we highlight a few of those properties here.
- Dream Downtown - right by Union Square and the Meatpacking District, the Dream Downtown has a huge outdoor swimming pool surrounded by sand and often hosts beach parties, filled with models of all types (photo - private jacuzzi room)
- The High Line Hotel - proud member of IGLTA who welcomes same sex weddings in its historic Refectory and the chapel at the General Theological Seminary.
- Chelsea Pines Inn - gay-owned in NYC's premier gay neighborhood, consistently rated a best value hotel in NYC, a top pick on misterbandb and self proclaimed as "NYC’s premier urban bed and breakfast."
