Hotels gay friendly

When you choose an LGBTQ-friendly hotel, you’re not just booking a room— you’re prioritizing your comfort, so you can spend less time worrying about how you’re perceived and more time making memories.

Looking for more inclusive brands to travel with? Public displays of affection are generally accepted, especially in gay-friendly areas.

Safety Tips:

• Stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night.
• Stick to well-lit, populated areas.
• Use Uber or official taxis to get around safely after dark.

  What are the must-visit gay bars and clubs in Puerto Vallarta?

  Don’t miss these spots:

  • CC Slaughters: A high-energy nightclub with drag shows and themed parties.

  • Mr.

    They were the first hotel group to introduce same-sex domestic partner benefits back in 1999—fifteen years before same-sex marriage was allowed in all 50 states.

    In 2013, 460 properties participated in the gay friendly campaign. And unfortunately, gay owned hotels aren’t always better, especially if you’re not a cis gay man. 

    The good news? You’re in the right place! The boards helps the hotel brand understand our community’s needs, implement inclusive policies at their properties, and provide staff with on-the-ground training, so they can make all travelers feel welcome.

    MGM

    MGM Resorts International partners with LGBTQ organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign and GLSEN.

    In fact, MGM helped found the Las Vegas chapter of the Human Rights Campaign back in 2004, at a time when few brands were outwardly partnering with the LGBTQ community.

    They’ve donated to LGBTQ causes throughout the years, helping to build a new LGBT community center in Nevada and donating for marriage equality campaigns in LGBTQ friendly states like Maryland.

    Like many of the LGBTQ friendly airlines in the US, the hotel brand looks for ways to partner with diverse suppliers including LGBTQ-owned businesses!

    Binge the series on YOTEL’s website and Instagram page for these and other famously inclusive destinations.

    YOTEL has been the official hotel partner for NYC Pride, threw a sober Pride event in SF with amazing mocktails and dance party vibes, and hosted an all-night dance party in Portugal’s queer capital, Porto.

    What I appreciate most is how YOTEL backs their commitment to LGBTQ inclusion with training bona fides.

    They’ve partnered with inclusion specialist Polly Shute to bring inclusivity training to properties around the globe, demonstrating their commitment to foster welcome for every guest.

    Hilton

    Hilton is a great place to work if you’re LGBTQ, with inclusive benefits like adoption assistance benefits of up to $10,000 per child, a policy that helps all employees plan heir families, but is especially beloved by same-sex employees that have to get creative when planning their families.

    Hilton partners with global LGBTQ+ organizations like IGLTA and the Matthew Shepard Foundation, and also nabs a perfect score on HRC’s Corporate Equality Index.

    The hotel brand launched a marketing campaign geared toward gay travelers in 2012, called “Stay Hilton.

    I know firsthand how much of a difference it makes to feel truly welcome, to check in without awkward questions or assumptions, and to know that I’m safe to be myself when using the pool, dining in the hotel restaurant, or grabbing a drink at the bar with my partner. Stick to bottled or filtered water to stay safe.

    Exceptions: Some hotels and resorts offer filtered water that is safe to drink, so check with your accommodation.

    Pro Tip: Bring a reusable water bottle with a built-in filter or buy bottled water from local stores.

    Excellent value for money and just a 5-minute walk to gay Bar GC.
